The family business. The young entrepreneur and visionary, Peter Rössler, recognized the potential of waste recycling early on and founded Weinsberg Maschinenfabrik – or WEIMA for short – in 1980. After the turn of the millennium, Martin Friz succeeded in bringing about the generation shift and has now been running the business since 2003. Global leader. WEIMA produces more than 1,200 shredders, briquetters and drainage presses per year on a production area of approx. 65,000 sqm with more than 300 employees worldwide. Since its foundation, about 40,000 machines have been delivered worldwide....

WE COMPRESS WASTE MATERIALS.

REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE. WEIMA stands for active environmental protection and for robust shredding technology that’s “Made in Germany”. Our machines lay the foundation for a resource-saving future and are at the beginning of many recycling processes. AN APPRECIATION FOR WASTE MATERIALS As a recycling specialist, we see it as our duty to contribute to a clean planet. WEIMA shredders, granulators, briquetting and drainage presses are thus becoming ever more sophisticated, productive, and above all – energy-efficient. SUSTAINABLE FOR INDUSTRY AND TRADE The wide selection of machines and options gives...

COMPRESSING TECHNOLOGY WE MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR WASTE. In addition to the shredding of waste materials, compression has been an integral part of our range of services for many decades. WEIMA briquette presses, drainage presses and packaging presses are in proven use thousands of times around the world. Loose, voluminous wood and metal chips, or shredded paper, for example, are turned into handy briquettes that can be used for energy production where possible. Pressed packaging such as aluminum cans or PET bottles and their drained contents in turn form the basis for a wide range of recycling...

GOOD REASONS FOR COMPACTION: Volume reduction of up to 95 % Reduction of disposal costs Minimized transport and logistics costs Energetically sustainable use of briquettes Additional revenue from the sale of briquettes or pressed discs Recovery of coolant, emulsion, or cutting fluid Reduced burn-off during the smelting process (e.g. with metal chips) Reduction of the explosion risk of loose dusts Increased cleanliness in the workplace

Wood Briquettes made from wood waste are the classics among compressed energy bundles. Wood chips, shavings and even dust from chipboard, plywood, multiplex, OSB and MDF can be burned in briquette form in a particularly energy-efficient way or sold at a profit. This is ideal for carpentry and joinery shops, sawmills and planing mills, and the entire furniture industry. Briquetting also increases safety and cleanliness in wood shops nationwide. 8 - 14 % is typically the ideal moisture content for material to be briquetted in wood applications.

Paper Confidential files and documents, labels, cardboard, filter dust and even banknotes – all these materials can be briquetted if they have been suitably shredded in advance. Briquettes increase operational safety, protect the health of employees and reduce the risk of explosion and dust emissions. 50,000 EURO briquettes Did you know? Federal banks regularly shred and compress discarded banknotes into compact briquettes – also with WEIMA machines. On average, the volume corresponds to about 50,000 EURO per briquette. Putting them back together? Impossible.

Metal The briquetting of shredded metal chips and milling waste from aluminum, steel, copper, brass or titanium offers numerous advantages: Volume reduction, space savings, better smelting properties, recovery of expensive cooling lubricants and emulsions, and safer handling of sharp metal scrap, for example. Biomass Use the energy contained in straw, hay, tobacco, peat, cotton, flax or legumes! The calorific value of highly compressed briquettes is much higher than that of loose materials, and their combustion properties are ideal. Biomass has also become an indispensable, low-cost alternative...

BRIQUETTE SHAPES AND SIZES With us you can choose between round and rectangular briquettes in different shapes and diameters. The respective lengths can be flexibly adjusted. In this way, you produce the optimum briquette for every task and desired throughput rate. ROUND No two applications are alike. For this reason, we offer round briquettes in the diameters of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 mm – depending on the required throughput. For example, wood briquettes of this size are ideal for use as fuel for heating systems in wood-processing plants.

DID YOU KNOW? WEIMA briquettes are free of additives such as adhesives or binders. Compaction is achieved by hydraulic pressure alone. Actual size For industrial requirements The rectangular shape is reminiscent of bricks and measures 150 x 60 mm. The briquette length can be variably adjusted at WEIMA and is certainly one of the briquette classics worldwide. You can find them in hardware stores and supermarkets, where mostly compressed wood chips are offered for domestic combustion. While wood companies use briquettes for burning or storage, companies where metal chips, paper scraps or biomass...

To produce a dense briquette, WEIMA gives you the choice between so-called clamping presses or matrix presses. Which technology is the most suitable depends on your application and the goals you are pursuing. In both cases, you benefit from efficient volume reduction. Our machines, all of which are produced in Germany, are compact, durable, easy to maintain and robust when it comes to foreign materials. DID YOU KNOW? The maximum press force for matrix presses is up to 3,900 kg/cm2. That would be like placing the weight of a small car on a peanut. Clamping presses For more than four decades, WEIMA...
