Draining and compressing metal swarf with the WEIMA C.200 press
Our hydraulic drainage presses are a clean, sustainable and economical solution to dispose of or resell chips produced during machining. The C.200 produces discs with a diameter of 200 mm. Chips, which are generated during turning, milling, drilling or other machining activities, are pressed and then transported drip-free into a container. The pressed-out cooling lubricants and oils can then be returned to the processing machine.

Stainless steel and hygienic design: safe for the food industry

Specially developed for hygiene-critical applications, WEIMA machines meet the highest hygiene standards and are HACCP-compliant. Stainless steel, an automatic cleaning system and food-grade oils make the machines the first choice for areas with strict cleanliness requirements, such as food and beverage production. Thanks to their full stainless steel construction, they are not only appreciated in breweries, dairies, soft drink bottling plants and other food production facilities, but also in biogas plants, plastics processors and general food production.

Industry 4.0 ready:
Intelligent integration for the future

WEIMA presses are designed for maximum flexibility and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. With plug-and-play functionality and modern data interfaces, they can be controlled fully automatically and monitor themselves autonomously. WEIMA also offers complete system solutions for recycling, such as shredders and granulators, and makes your waste disposal future-proof.

Typical reasons for production rejects

  • Under or overfilled packaging
  • Overproduction
  • Incorrect labeling
  • Incorrect content or recipe
  • Damaged packaging
  • Rinsing batches when changing recipes
  • Returns and returns

If the reject material is not suitable for further recycling for hygienic or quality reasons, it does not necessarily have to end up unused in waste. Rejects are often suitable as an energy source (incineration or fermentation) or even as fertilizer or feed on farms.

From daingage to briquetting - complete solutions for maximum efficiency!

Depending on the application and objective, additional production steps such as crushing, granulating, washing or briquetting may be required before or after dewatering. WEIMA offers the right machine technology that is ideally suited to your production requirements – all from a single source for seamless integration and maximum process quality.
