WL 600 – A robust shredder for woodworking businesses

  • Suitable for all wood-based materials
  • Powerful drive
  • Flexible interchangeable screen
  • Simple and intuitive operation
  • Compatible with extraction and conveying systems

The WL 600 single-shaft shredder is a powerful yet versatile industrial shredder designed for the efficient shredding of all types of wood-based materials – from chipboard and MDF to solid wood and particularly hard wood waste. Designed for small and medium-sized woodworking businesses, the WL 600 combines solid, proven technology with a high throughput tailored to practical needs, and represents the entry-level model in the WL series. Thanks to its robust drive, flexibly selectable screens and durable components, the machine ensures consistent shredding results even with demanding materials.

As a standard production machine, it offers excellent value for money and high investment security for wood waste recycling and material preparation. It can be optionally integrated into existing conveyor and extraction systems.

Below is an overview of the key product USPs and the main technical features of this proven single-shaft shredder.

Product features

Powerful electric motor with a robust gearbox

The WL 600 comes as standard with a powerful electric motor that drives the rotor via a durable gearbox and drive belt. This combination ensures consistently high shredding performance – ideal for continuous operation in woodworking businesses.

Reliable material feed with a load-dependent slide valve

The slide, which moves horizontally back and forth via a hydraulic system, feeds the material to the rotor. With WEIMA, it can be controlled or cycled fully automatically, depending on the load. It can, of course, also be operated manually if required. For even more aggressive feeding, we recommend additional serrated plates and hold-down devices, which keep even bulky and long parts securely in place. A shock valve fitted to the hydraulic cylinder absorbs any impacts from the drawer, thereby ensuring a longer service life.

Effectively absorb vibrations with sturdy rubber feet

Vibration-damping machine feet ensure stability and help to significantly reduce disruptive vibrations in the surrounding area. As the machine does not need to be anchored to the floor, installation is particularly flexible and convenient.

Screwed interchangeable strainer from WEIMA

Consistent grinding results thanks to a flexible interchangeable screen

Adjust the screen to suit your needs. The smaller the hole diameter, the finer the crushed material that is discharged. Screens can be easily swapped and are bolted in place as standard.

Discharge the material cleanly using suction, a screw conveyor or a conveyor belt

Depending on your requirements and the frame design (raised machine with a conveyor belt opening or side outlet), you have the option of discharging the shredded material via air extraction, a discharge screw or a conventional conveyor belt. With experience gained from many thousands of machines on the market, we are also experts in conveyor technology and can provide you with a turnkey solution from a single source.

Hydraulics with optimum protection, integrated into the machine frame

Integrating the sensitive components of a hydraulic system into the machine frame offers many advantages. Not only is the system protected from dust, dirt and other external factors such as the weather, but it also makes the machine even more compact when installed. A separate service access panel ensures easy access for maintenance.

Making good use of wood waste: Carpentry firm heats workshop and homes with the WL 6 shredder
At Sucker Holzbau GbR, a large amount of wood waste is generated every day. Instead of disposing of this material, it is reused in a sustainable way: the wood waste is shredded using a WL 6 shredder and then used to generate energy in a wood chip heating system. This provides efficient and sustainable heating not only for the workshops and offices, but also for three detached houses. The project demonstrates how wood processing, energy efficiency and the circular economy fit together perfectly.
