38 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 09/21 www.petpla.net Weima - hall A6 booth 6201 Focus on circular economy After more than one and a half years without events and personal interactions, the anticipation of face-to-face trade shows is palpable. Weima will present fundamental process steps on the way to ef fi cient recycling of plastics at a joint booth with its long-standing partner Neue Herbold. The topic of the circular economy will also be in the foreground at the booth of the German Ilsfeld-based shredder specialist. After all, a functioning recy- cling economy can only be realised with high-quality recyclate. To meet the strict quality criteria, the best possible process- ing of the plastic is necessary. Weima WLK 1000: Single-shaft shredder for large-volume plastic parts, fi lms, and fi bres At the booth, Weima will present the versatile WLK 1000 single-shaft shred- der. It stands out for its high throughput and fl exibility in daily use. The WLK 1000 shreds not only massive start-up lumps, production waste or large-volume plastic parts made of PE, PP, PVC, PU or PET, but also tear-resistant fi bres and fi lms to a homogeneous size; the fi rst step on the way to producing high-quality recyclate. Shredding results The shredder can be optimally adapted to any application with various equipment options. The V-rotor, with a working width of 1,000mm and a diameter of 370mm, delivers fi rst-class shredding results. For fl exible materials such as fi lms, fi laments, and fi bres, Weima also offers the F-rotor for a particularly precise cut. The counter knives of the WLK 1000 are manually adjustable and reversible. This allows the appropriate cutting geom- etry to be optimally con fi gured for each material stream. As a result, shredding remains energy-ef fi cient, wear costs can be minimised, and knife service life can be signi fi cantly extended. Flexible for varying material fl ows The speed of the rotor can be continu- ously adjusted via the optional frequency converter. This makes the machine par- ticularly fl exible, especially with changing material fl ows. The large-volume hopper with the innovative log spacer shape pre- vents the formation of material bridges even when shredding particularly large parts. Direct fi lling takes place via the low loading edge by conveyor belt, gripper, wheel loader or manually and is therefore convenient to operate. Two-stage processing of plastic waste A two-stage processing system is often required to achieve particularly fi ne particle sizes. In cooperation with the granulator specialist and long-standing partner, Neue Herbold, Weima has already implemented many joint customer solutions. Shredders fromWeima can be precisely operated and controlled via Siemens PLC control. They have common interfaces (such as Pro fi bus or Profinet) and can thus be integrated into existing production systems. This also includes peripherals such as extraction, metal detection and secondary crushers. This optimises the use of downstream pro- duction machines (such as washers and extruders) and increases the ef fi ciency of the recycling line. www.weima.com Two-stage shredding solution with Weima shredder and Neue Herbold granulator Enhanced cavitation Superior tool steel Balanced HR system Acme Drinktec Solutions LLP Email: [email protected] Website: www.acmedrinktec.com Phone +91-9810418975 +91-9819020785 +91-9810631426 SINGLE STAGE ISBMMOLDS CREATING MOLDS WITH A DIFFERENCE
