Weima: Shredding technology for automotive recycling

WEIMA Maschinenbau GmbH (www.weima.com) offers a variety of innovative solutions for the shredding of vehicle parts in plastic, rubber and composite materials. This equipment is suitable both for reject parts and production waste from component production as well as for corresponding vehicle parts from disassembly of used vehicles.

With the WLK series single shaft shredders and the ZMK series four-shaft shredders, there are two different shredding concepts available, that can be adapted flexibly to the appropriate task. Apart from rather unproblematic parts such as wheel arches and caps, headlamp housings, etc., large volume thermoformed and injection moulded parts such as instrument panels, carpets, interior door claddings can also be shredded. Furthermore, proved solutions are offered for shredding of contaminated materials or those containing foreign particles, such as batteries, coolant water and fuel containers or tough elastic rubber components.

The machines are designed to customers’ specific requirements, according to the type, size and constitution of the materials to be shredded. Throughput of 150 to 3,000 kg/h and a wide range of target particle sizes are possible here.
