Tiger 400

Horizontal single-shaft shredder

The horizontal single-shaft shredder series includes the Beaver, Tiger, and Leopard machines. These wood shredders are perfect for the shredding of linear wood waste. This shredder is great for turning solid wood waste into chips. The shredded material is placed into a vibratory infeed conveyor that is the same width as the machine itself. This conveyor feeds the material consistently into the shredder. Horizontal shredders are known within the wood industry and are found in many woodworking shops. In addition to its compact design, the WEIMA horizontal shredders have a low rotor speed, which helps with noise control. This makes it possible for the machine to be placed directly near the woodworking machine rather than under it for the processing of MDF and solid wood.

01

Optimal shredding results with energy-efficient Siemens PLC control system

The Siemens PLC control system installed in the separate control cabinet regulates all processes of a horizontal shredder and can be individually configured for each application. This guarantees consistently high-quality throughput material of homogeneous size – ideal for further processing. If required, horizontal shredders can of course also be integrated into a fully automatic production line.

02

Oversized scrap? No problem.

Long or wide waste materials, such as panel cuttings, often have a width that is simply too large for standard shredders. For this reason, WEIMA offers the Jumbo versions of the Tiger machines as the right solution for large-sized materials in XL format up to 1,600 mm working width. They not only have a wider feed opening, but also an enlarged rotor diameter of up to 500 mm for even more throughput.

04

Powerful and low-maintenance drive via electric motor and V-belt

An electromechanical drive with V-belt is used to drive the V rotor installed inside the machine. It can be maintained in a user-friendly manner and is characterized by its proven technology combined with high throughput. The absence of a gearbox or clutch also ensures low wear.

05

Robust machine design including offset rotor bearings

WEIMA horizontal shredders are not only particularly compact, but above all, robustly built. Rotor bearings that are offset from the machine frame are insensitive to dust, easy to maintain and durable.

06

Homogeneous material sizes thanks to exchangeable screen with round holes

Screwed underneath the rotor is a round hole screen, which can be replaced as required by a screen with a larger or smaller hole diameter in the range 10 - 80 mm. Material is shredded by the rotor until it fits through the hole openings, falls through, and is finally suctioned off. This guarantees a particularly homogeneous material for each individual requirement.

08

Safe material feeding of long parts via horizontal vibratory conveyor

The Tiger shredders use a vibrating infeed conveyor to feed the material. It is available in various lengths (up to 40 m) and transports long strips, profiles or pipes to the infeed roller located in front of the rotor. The roller picks up the material to be shredded and transports it horizontally to the rotor, where it is shredded between the cutting knives and counter knives. The horizontal machine design simplifies material handling of long pieces. Compared to shredders with a classic hopper, the material cannot jump out in an uncontrolled manner, which significantly increases safety.

09

Disposal on the spot directly at the machine

In many day-to-day activities, scraps or offcuts of wood or plastic accumulate directly at the workstation. This is also the case, for example, with panel or sliding table saws. Instead of collecting them separately and transporting them away, we recommend placing a horizontal shredder directly next to the machine. Waste can then be disposed of immediately and without additional effort.

10

Seamless integration into production lines through automated operating mode

If you want to increase efficiency in production, you also need to keep an eye on and optimize waste management. Horizontal shredders are ideally suited for use in state-of-the-art production lines thanks to their compact design and the availability of all data interfaces commonly used today. In addition, they can be operated fully automatically. Modern shredders not only reduce the volume of waste and improve material flow without manual intervention, but also reduce the cost of intralogistics. In addition, your shop floor becomes safer and cleaner.
