NPE2024: The Plastics Show is right around the corner and WEIMA is hoping to see you there! As a leading provider of size reduction machinery and systems, WEIMA is excited to demonstrate its cutting-edge technology and sustainable solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of the plastics sector this May in Orlando, Florida!
At the main WEIMA booth, visitors can explore the latest advancements in plastic shredding, recycling, and waste management, all aimed at enhancing efficiency, increasing circularity, and maximizing value throughout the plastics lifecycle. WEIMA will have more employees at this show than any other show before, with English, Spanish, and Chinese speakers available.
You can’t miss us!
From compact shredders to high-capacity granulators, WEIMA has a comprehensive range of solutions tailored to address the challenges faced by plastics manufacturers, recyclers, and processors. The size reduction machinery manufacturer is bringing the WLK 10, WLK 800 F+, and WKS 2200 single-shaft shredders for display on the show floor. With two booths positioned in the main hall in the Recycling & Sustainability Solutions zone in the West Hall as well as a full line of machinery operational outside in the Recycling Zone, WEIMA's presence will sure be a memorable one!
The WLK 10 single-shaft shredder stands out as a versatile solution for processing a wide range of plastic materials. With its robust design and V-rotor technology, this shredder efficiently tackles plastic lumps, pipes, automotive parts, PET bottles, PE/PP bottles, canisters, buckets, and more.
Equipped with a 1000 mm rotor and a lift-up screen basket for easy maintenance, the WLK 10 offers added convenience and accessibility for operators. Its adaptable configurations ensure optimal performance tailored to each specific application, while its seamless integration into a two-stage solution further enhances its versatility and efficiency.
Like the WLK 10, the WLK 800 F+ is built to handle a wide range of materials, but it is focused on materials that are prone to wrapping. This shredder’s hopper is designed so that it can handle large volumes of material with ease. The WLK 800 offers easy access for maintenance and cleaning, ensuring uninterrupted operation and minimizing down time.
Its variable-speed drive system allows for precise control over the shredding process, while its durable F+ rotor—designed specifically to process film, fiber, and filaments—ensures consistent performance and reliability while preventing material wrapping. The WLK 800 F+ is the ideal solution for businesses looking to optimize their material processing operations and maximize productivity.
WKS 2200: Up Close and Accessible
The WEIMA WKS 2200 stands out for its exceptional versatility, efficiently processing plastics, paper, textiles, and more. Its adaptable design seamlessly integrates into diverse manufacturing and recycling processes, offering businesses a flexible waste management solution. The user-friendly control panel with touchscreen PLC ensures swift operations and energy-efficient material processing.
Its massive rotor, with a diameter of 500 mm and a length of 2,200 mm, will be visible on the show floor. The built-in inspection flap provides easy access to the cutting chamber for maintenance tasks, and the lift-up screen allows for effortless cleanup and knife rotations. Attendees at NPE2024 will have the opportunity to witness firsthand how these features contribute to the machine’s performance and maintenance efficiency.
Behind the West Hall, a WEIMA WLK 15 single-shaft shredder and two LM 600/1000 granulators will be operational as part of WEIMA’s Destroy Responsibly (TM) program. At NPE2024, WEIMA’s size-reduction machinery will be shredding plastic scrap in real time. The material will then be transported off-site and reintroduced into plastic production processes by Commercial Plastics Recycling, Inc. The goal is simple—WEIMA and the other Official Recyclers who are participating in this program are aiming to recycle 100% of the plastic scrap generated on the show floor in 2024!
By emphasizing sustainability and resource conservation, the Destroy Responsibly (TM) program aims to reiterate the significance of practical and environmental waste management options within the plastics industry. Through its showcased solutions, WEIMA hopes to empower businesses to optimize recycling endeavors, aligning with the broader goals of promoting environmental stewardship and circular economy practices.
Alternative Options for Size Reduction: Compression!
While shredding remains WEIMA’s core focus within the plastics industry, its expertise extends to draining and compressing processes as well. Size reduction through compression plays a crucial role in facilitating transportation of bulky goods and resale of valuable materials for reintegration.
WEIMA boasts a diverse range of briquetting, packaging, and drainage presses, offering comprehensive solutions for waste management. The range of compression machinery excels in converting surplus waste into valuable forms. WEIMA’s compression solutions for the plastics industry include the compression of shavings or swarf for the recovery of valuable cutting fluids as well as post-industrial plastic packaging and plastic fines.
