Save energy with WEIMA’s new 11 kW WL 4 shredder

If you’re worried about rising electricity costs, the new WL 4 shredder is just the ticket. The 11 kW motor reduces energy consumption by around 20% and delivers similar performance to the 18.5 kW version. 

WEIMA’s test results show significantly lower starting current peaks and reduced average power usage. Yearly savings can exceed £600 - enough to power 25 refrigerators for a full year.

Customer success story: firewood waste shredding with a WEIMA WLK 2000 at Brennholzwerk Trier

The WEIMA WLK 2000 single-shaft shredder is perfectly suited to handling waste generated by the  firewood production process. Here, sustainability is key: the shredder is powered by solar energy and a combined heat and power plant (CHP), which ensures an eco-friendly production process.

The shredded wood chips are repurposed to fuel a wood chip heating system, which in turn provides heat for the drying chambers at the firewood production facility.

A Steiner screw conveyor efficiently transports the chips from the shredder to the heating system, creating a seamless and energy-efficient recycling loop.
