HDPE plastic pipes are extremely durable and are used worldwide for water supply, gas pipelines, and cable protection. However, large volumes of HDPE pipe waste are generated both during production and after use. For sustainable recycling, professional shredding is essential. With powerful shredders from WEIMA, HDPE pipes are efficiently reduced to manageable pieces. This allows the material to be easily cleaned, recycled, and reprocessed into high-quality regranulate – making an important contribution to the circular economy and reducing plastic waste.
WEIMA shredders for processing highly abrasive materials can be protected with various options to reduce wear and thus downtime and maintenance costs. The thick walls of the machine frame make WEIMA shredders particularly robust.
