Compact shredder for industrial applications
The W8.15 PowerLine is an industrial single-shaft shredder for use in recycling plants as well as in the production of refuse-derived fuels. With a working width of 1,500 mm, it represents the entry-level model in the PowerLine series and is used in both primary and secondary shredding. Typical input materials include mixed commercial waste, municipal solid waste, processed residual materials and high-calorific fractions.
Moreover, the shredder combines a robust rotor design with variable screen concepts and different drive options to achieve uniform particle sizes and stable throughput. At the same time, its design supports maintenance access and enables integration into existing plant structures.
High-torque drive with direct transmission
The high-torque drive for waste shredders is based on a direct-drive concept developed by Baumüller in cooperation with Nidec Desch. In particular, it is designed for applications with difficult-to-shred materials and provides high torque at low rotational speeds. As a result of the coordination between drive and rotor shaft, torque levels of up to 61,000 Nm can be achieved. At the same time, the system is intended to support energy-efficient operation.
Within the W8 series, different drive concepts remain available. For example, hydraulic drives are suited to applications with fluctuating loads and offer high torque at comparatively low installed power. In contrast, electromechanical direct drives are characterised by energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements.
System integration in recycling processes
WEIMA positions its shredding technology within broader process chains. In this context, the company works with partners in conveying technology, extraction systems, sorting and recycling as well as energy solutions. As a result, these collaborations enable integrated plant concepts ranging from shredding and material handling through to downstream processing.
Mechanical dewatering for volume reduction
In addition, with the C.200 dewatering press, WEIMA addresses the treatment of moist residual materials. The system is designed to reduce both moisture content and volume of wastewater, sewage sludge and comparable materials. Consequently, the press can be integrated into existing process lines in the waste and water sectors.
