In addition to the electromechanical drive with belt, the hydraulic drive and the high-torque drive, the electromechanical drive with WEIMA WAP gearbox is a drive option for WEIMA shredders that has proven itself thousands of times over with customers all over the world.
In most cases, single-shaft shredders and granulators are equipped with an electromechanical drive. Power is transmitted by means of a standard motor, a specially developed WEIMA WAP gearbox and a power belt. The speed can be adjusted.
WEIMA shredders are equipped with a WAP gearbox developed in-house. This gearbox was specially developed by us for use in shredders and is manufactured exclusively by WEIMA. The gearbox is extremely easy to maintain, low-wear and insensitive to interference. Its shoebox shape is a maintenance-friendly design in which the entire gearbox can be exposed by removing a single cover. In addition, this gearbox contains only four seals instead of the seven or more commonly found on the market. It also has very strong gears and shafts. A major advantage of the WAP gearbox is that it has been specially developed and designed for use in shredding machines, as gearboxes in shredding machines have to withstand constant fluctuating loads and impacts. This gearbox is therefore considerably more robust and wear is reduced to a minimum.
