WEIMA Beaver – Compact shredder for long wood scraps – Wood waste

A powerful drive ensures a consistently high feed rate. The rotor is driven by an electric motor via a V-belt, which efficiently transmits torque. The absence of a gearbox and clutch reduces mechanical complexity and points of wear. This enhances operational reliability whilst ensuring a maintenance-friendly design.

A robust design ensures reliable continuous operation under load. The rotor bearings are separated from the machine housing and protected against dust and fine particles. The sturdy machine frame absorbs process forces in a controlled manner and reduces vibrations. This extends maintenance intervals and the service life of key components.

A consistent particle size is essential for stable downstream processes. A bolted round-hole screen with hole diameters ranging from 10 to 80 mm is installed beneath the rotor. The material remains in the cutting chamber until it reaches the specified screen size and is discharged. This allows for precise adaptation to the varying requirements of further processing.

A continuous feed system increases the plant’s productivity. The robust V-rotor, featuring two rows of blades, operates in conjunction with a controlled feed roller. This ensures that the material is picked up evenly and fed into the cutting process. This reduces load peaks, minimises blade wear and enables high throughput rates whilst maintaining stable energy consumption.

Stable process control ensures consistent grinding results during continuous operation. The Siemens PLC controls all machine functions centrally and is housed in a separate control cabinet. Parameters such as running times, load conditions and peripheral devices can be configured to suit specific applications and integrated into higher-level production lines. The result is a reproducible output material combined with high system availability.

Continuous discharge stabilises the overall process. The crushed material is discharged either via a suction connection into a central silo or via a screw conveyor. The enclosed system reduces dust emissions in the working environment. This improves health and safety and minimises the risk of explosive atmospheres.

Short transport distances boost efficiency in day-to-day production. Thanks to its compact design, the horizontal shredder can be positioned right next to processing machines. Waste material is collected and processed immediately. This reduces internal transport requirements, keeps the workplace tidy and supports a continuous flow of materials.
