At K 2025, WEIMA presents smart technology for plastic recycling: new W5 shredders, optimized C.200 Duo press, and digital platform WE.connect. WEIMA W5.22 single-shaft shredder: Powerful all-rounder for plastics With the new generation of the W5.22, WEIMA is setting new standards in throughput, ease of use and flexibility. The powerful shredder reliably processes hard plastics, films and tear-resistant fibers, as well as a variety of other materials. A rotor with a length of 2.200 mm and a diameter of 500 mm ensures effective material shredding. The redesigned swing arm pusher ensures better material guidance during the shredding process, while the redesigned table surface ensures even more aggressive material feed and increases power transmission by up to 20 percent. A particular highlight is the significantly wider inspection flap, which offers more space for maintenance work, for example. In addition, access from the rear can now be opened fully automatically and the swing arm can be locked more conveniently, which speeds up maintenance considerably. The new diagonally mounted signal towers, which

With a WEIMA WL 4 single-shaft shredder, a sophisticated screw system and a wood chips heating system, the German carpenter Bernd Kreutner in Bahlingen uses the own waste wood sustainably to heat the shop buildings. Everything from a single source: tailor-made system, comprising shredder, and conveyor technology Owner Bernd Kreutner: ”In the past, we used to burn some of the accumulating wood in the stove of the central heating system and dispose of some of it. In doing so, the large area taken up by the wood residues was particularly troublesome. But the cost of disposal wasn’t without its problems, either.” In order to finally find a remedy and to be able to recycle the wood residues in a cost-efficient and sustainable way, Bernd Kreutner decided to buy a shredder. Since 2020, a WEIMA WL 4 single-shaft shredder has been installed in the large hall of the carpentry company – with a view of the neighboring vineyards. WL 4 – proven chipper for wood scrap The WL 4from WEIMA is a proven shredder for processing all types of wood waste. With a rotor diameter of 260 mm and a working width of 600 mm, neither roof battens nor sections or pallets with nails are a challenge.

WKS 1400 / 1800 / 2200 What event could provide a more suitable framework for a product presentation than the leading trade show in the plastics industry in Dusseldorf? The size reduction specialist from Ilsfeld (Germany) will present its all-new WKS single-shaft shredder series with 1400, 1800, and 2200 mm working width. Because they were specially designed for plastic applications, the new machines aim for shredding voluminous objects, tear-resistant fibers and film. Visitors will be able to take a closer look at the WKS 1800, which will be on display at the WEIMA booth. There are plenty of companies out there building shredders. However, finding the right balance between high throughput and comfortable maintenance is what makes the real difference in designing a size reduction machine. One of the most obvious new features is the newly designed material feeding system. Instead of a horizontal ram, the new WKS series has a so-called “swing-ram,” which is guided on rolls. This is what
