The W8.30 FineCut from WEIMA is the most powerful shredder in the FineCut series and has been designed for the industrial secondary shredding of large volumes of waste in the production of substitute fuels. As the flagship model in the series, it is primarily used in recycling plants with high material throughput and the most stringent requirements for consistent fine shredding. The shredder reliably processes pre-shredded material and ensures reproducible particle sizes, which are crucial for industrial waste recycling and thermal utilisation.
The robust construction, automated maintenance support and flexible adjustment of cutting parameters ensure high plant availability in continuous operation. For large-scale recycling solutions, the W8.30 offers a particularly secure basis for investment.
The technical details and optional equipment are described in detail below.

Reproducible process control via Siemens PLC control
The FineCut achieves high process stability and a configurable throughput thanks to a Siemens S7 controller with a touchscreen display and adjustable settings for rotor speed and slide cycle. This technical design enables rapid adaptation to different material characteristics and reduces waste as well as fluctuations in the shredding process.

Consistent fine fraction thanks to SuperCut cutting gap adjustment
An externally adjustable counter-blade system, which can be adjusted via a screw mechanism and utilises angled protective cover plates, ensures the production of defined fine fractions. This design guarantees consistently repeatable cutting gaps, improves material homogeneity and enhances the quality of the end product in downstream processes such as RDF production.

Efficient material feeding via a swing gate
The load-dependent swing gate feeder directs the material precisely into the rotor chamber, with an optional pusher and turbo-hydraulics to increase the gate speed. This technical solution increases effective throughput, reduces blockages and optimises energy efficiency with varying waste streams.

Minimal maintenance thanks to automatic central lubrication
The automatic central lubrication system, mounted on the side of the machine frame, continuously supplies grease to all relevant bearing points. This eliminates the need for manual lubrication intervals and reduces the frequency of unplanned downtime, thereby improving operational reliability and extending the service life of moving components under industrial loads.

High precision performance thanks to the FineCut rotor with up to seven rows of blades
With the characteristically designed FineCut rotor made from solid material, you can achieve particle sizes of up to 15 mm at high speeds of 160 to 380 rpm. The cutting blades can be re-sharpened multiple times. The rotor features up to seven rows of blades, enabling very high throughput rates. A splinter guard is also fitted as standard. A multi-spline shaft pin is fitted on the drive side to ensure a secure fit. The compact design also provides ample lateral expansion space for the material. This technical configuration enables high shredding performance whilst reducing the need for reworking and energy consumption.

Stable machine base thanks to adjustable heavy-duty feet
Adjustable heavy-duty feet on the base frame stabilise the machine even on uneven surfaces and ensure low-vibration operation. This reduces mechanical stress on the rotor and bearings and contributes to process reliability and long-term machine availability.

Optimised drive system with an electromechanical or high-torque option
The choice is yours: our FineCut 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.

Seamless integration into conveyor and process lines
Standardised interfaces and a raised machine frame height facilitate integration into existing conveying and processing lines. This enables users to create flexible system designs with reduced planning time and high line availability thanks to simple mechanical and electrical connections.

Flexible adjustment of particle size thanks to a hydraulically tilting screen basket
Users benefit from short changeover times when switching between different material flows, thanks to a screen basket that can be swung upwards hydraulically. The bolted-on, wear-protected screen segments can be changed quickly and, in combination with secondary crushers, allow the final particle size to be precisely set between 15 and 80 mm. In industrial operation, this increases plant flexibility, reduces downtime and enables reliable adaptation to varying output requirements.

Quick access for servicing via a hydraulic access panel
Hydraulically operated inspection hatches at the front and rear provide direct access to the screen and rotor chamber for maintenance, blade replacement and the removal of foreign objects. This design reduces inspection times, simplifies on-site operation and minimises average machine downtime.
