Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Shredders

Residual waste from private households or similar places is anything but just waste – in most cases it's a veritable goldmine of recyclable materials. In Germany alone, more than 50 million tons of municipal waste are generated every year. Waste collection services collect more than 13 million tons of household waste, which still contains high proportions of plastics and paper, even though these materials should be disposed of separately. Particularly robust machines are required for the subsequent processing of all material fractions, as municipal waste is usually full of foreign materials such as stones and metals. WEIMA offers the right shredders for this first process step, shredding, with working widths of up to three meters, many heavy duty options and drive concepts specially designed for these applications. The result: safely and cleanly processed, homogeneous material streams.
