W8.20 PowerLine – Single-shaft shredder for waste processing

High material throughput with varying requirements calls for precise process control. The PLC control system with touchscreen display allows the rotor speed and slide movement to be adjusted to suit the material being processed. This ensures a stable shredding process and makes optimum use of the plant’s capacity.

The counter blades can be adjusted from the outside using a screw mechanism and are easy to turn over when worn. The robust cutting gap system ensures that the material is shredded evenly, resulting in consistent particle sizes and minimal rework in the downstream process.

A consistent feed rate improves process reliability. The load-dependent swing ram automatically adjusts its movement to the load on the rotor. This prevents blockages and maintains a stable throughput even with non-uniform material.

Reduced maintenance intervals increase machine uptime. The central lubrication system continuously supplies all relevant bearing points. This reduces the need for manual maintenance and supports reliable continuous operation.

Due to its high, solid weight, the PowerLine rotor requires less torque for shredding. Wear protection against increased wear is available as a solid shell or in the form of welded seams. Creusabro® rotor shields fitted to the sides also provide protection against abrasive material flows. The shaft journals are bolted on both sides. Cutting blades in sizes 60, 80 and 100 mm can be selected as required.

A stable machine base is essential for precise operation. The levelling heavy-duty feet ensure secure positioning even on uneven surfaces. This reduces vibrations and protects mechanical components during continuous operation.

The choice is yours: our PowerLine shredders can be fitted with a Hägglunds hydraulic drive, a high-torque drive from Baumüller, or a conventional electromechanical drive. Which one is right for you always depends on your specific application.

Extensive connectivity: WEIMA shredders are equipped with all standard interfaces to ensure rapid integration into existing production lines. Thousands of system solutions developed in collaboration with plant engineering partners worldwide speak for themselves. The raised base frame provides ample space for all standard conveyor belts – perfect for the removal of shredded material.

All PowerLine shredders are fitted with a screen basket that swings upwards, onto which the screen segments are bolted. They can be changed quickly and are protected against wear. With secondary shredders, a particle size of 30–150 mm can be achieved.

Short maintenance intervals increase system availability. Inspection hatches that open hydraulically on both sides allow direct access to the rotor and cutting chamber. This enables maintenance work to be carried out efficiently and safely.
