Hitting the Road: WEIMA’s versatility on full display in 2023

The Indiana Hardwood Lumbermens’ Association hosts a conference each year in February. The show is full of woodworkers who understand the burden of space that bulky wood waste takes up. The WEIMA team is happy to be a resource for those operations that are looking for in-plant size reduction machinery that can save them on floor space, handling costs, time, and labor. From hopper-fed shredders to horizontal grinders, WEIMA has a viable solution for these operations.

WEIMA offers robust shredders for the waste industry with a variety of custom options. This means that each application—from packaging to production waste and even mixed waste streams can be shredded to certain specifications prior to reaching sorting equipment or other auxiliary machinery. The systems engineers at WEIMA pride themselves in their ability to design machines that fit in pre-existing or new production lines.

The versatility of these machines within the plastics industry should not be understated. Manufacturers with specific waste streams, as well as plastic recycling facilities that have multiple lines to process a variety of plastic types, can benefit significantly from a WEIMA shredder. There is no one-size-fits-all machine, especially in the plastics recycling industry. From film to purge to nonwovens to blow-molded pieces to foam, WEIMA has a machine that is right for the job.

The Plastics Recycling Conference has become one of the busiest plastics-related shows in the country. This is especially true in the off years of NPE: The Plastics Show, which is a massive triennial trade show held in Orlando, Florida. The PRC booths are consistently sold-out year after year, and the quality of the exhibitors is top notch. WEIMA is excited to return as a silver sponsor of the event in National Harbor, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
