High-torque drive
In addition to the electromechanical drive with belt or WAP gearbox and the hydraulic drive, the high-torque drive is a powerful drive option for WEIMA shredders that has proven itself with customers all over the world.
The high-torque drive used by WEIMA comes from Baumüller. As a specialist in the recycling sector, WEIMA relies on close cooperation with Baumüller, a leading provider of innovative drive technologies. This partnership enables WEIMA to offer powerful and reliable shredding solutions for demanding applications.
When shredding hard plastic parts, for example, enormous forces are exerted on the shredder. To ensure that the machines are constantly operational, the key components must be particularly robust. This is where the high-torque drive from Baumüller shines: there are fewer wear parts, as there are no hoses or gears.
Robust technology for maximum service life
Low energy consumption thanks to direct drive
By using direct drive technology, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 30 percent. In addition, the drive is very easy to regulate and control. As the speed decreases, the torque increases – an enormous advantage for the shredding process. The low noise level also speaks in favor of the drive from Baumüller.

Belt drive for optimum power transmission
A belt is used for the transmission of the direct drive, which transfers the power to the rotor and thus drives the cutting unit. Due to the connection of the rotor shaft via the belt, the Baumüller motor must be able to absorb radial forces of up to 40,000 N. This can be easily guaranteed thanks to a special bearing and the corresponding validation based on vibration measurements. In this way, vibrations can be compensated for and maintenance costs greatly minimized. The high-torque motor is ideal for shredding systems due to its good concentricity properties.
