No other material is under as much pressure worldwide as plastic. Stricter regulations, rising energy and raw material costs and increasingly ambitious targets in the circular economy are presenting processors and recyclers with growing challenges. At the same time, the demands on efficiency, quality and sustainability are constantly increasing. High-performance machine technology is therefore required for resource-saving and economical processing. This is exactly what WEIMA will be presenting at K 2025 in Düsseldorf: with the new version of the W5 single-shaft shredder series for plastics and the revised C.200 Duo dewatering press. The trade fair appearance will be rounded off by the presentation of the WE.connect digital service platform.

WEIMA W5.22 single-shaft shredder: Powerful all-rounder for plastics
With the new generation of the W5.22, WEIMA is setting new standards in throughput, ease of use and flexibility. The powerful shredder reliably processes hard plastics, films and tear-resistant fibers, as well as a variety of other materials. A rotor with a length of 2.200 mm and a diameter of 500 mm ensures effective material shredding. The redesigned swing arm pusher ensures better material guidance during the shredding process, while the redesigned table surface ensures even more aggressive material feed and increases power transmission by up to 20 percent.

A particular highlight is the significantly wider inspection flap, which offers more space for maintenance work, for example. In addition, access from the rear can now be opened fully automatically and the swing arm can be locked more conveniently, which speeds up maintenance considerably. The new diagonally mounted signal towers, which can also display the hopper fill level if required, ensure greater transparency during operation.
The right drive for every application
WEIMA offers maximum flexibility with the W5.22 shredder: Customers can choose from several drive concepts to optimally adapt the machine to their processes. A hydraulic drive is particularly suitable for applications with frequently changing loads. The robust drive ensures high torques with a low kW output. The classic electromechanical direct drive ensures high energy efficiency and easy maintenance.
Any drive option is possible with the W5.22
The measuring machine is equipped with a high-torque drive including servo controller – a new development from Baumüller in collaboration with Nidec Desch. This direct drive solution is specially designed for particularly demanding applications with difficult-to-shred plastic fractions. The drive system with high-torque motor achieves a high torque even at low speeds. Thanks to a well-coordinated connection between the drive and the rotor shaft, the power transmission is optimally utilized and a higher drive power is achieved. The innovative drive system not only enables cost-saving operation, but also sustainable production.
WEIMA C.200 Duo hydraulic press: Dewatering and compacting in one
Another highlight at the WEIMA booth is the C.200 Duo dewatering press. Particularly for recyclers of post-consumer plastics, the economical separation of water and plastic residues (fines) is becoming increasingly important due to high disposal costs. The C.200 Duo dewatering press uses a hydraulic pusher cylinder to compact moist plastic flakes into almost dry pellets with a diameter of 200 mm. The low-maintenance compact machine can be used independently or in production lines.

WE.connect: The digital platform for WEIMA machines
With WE.connect, WEIMA offers a central platform that bundles all digital service offerings. WE.monitor visualizes machine data, additional information and maintenance recommendations. Machine statuses, operating data and maintenance intervals can be tracked live using smart sensor technology and cloud-based monitoring. WEIMA is constantly developing the tool and, thanks to early notification, enables downtimes to be avoided, service calls to be planned and productivity to be sustainably increased.
The WE.shop enables customers to quickly purchase original parts around the clock. Thanks to the intelligent search function with the machine ID, precisely matching parts can be identified and ordered easily. In-depth expertise is provided by the WE.know knowledge database. From step-by-step instructions and maintenance videos to technical documentation – you can find answers to frequently asked questions here.
