Shredder on Wheels

A specialist plastics recycler, keen to improve efficiencies and increase profits in the collection and transportation of waste plastic pipe from numerous sites, elected to make best use of size reduction technology at the waste stream source.


Weima UK, part of Fercell Engineering of Aylesford, KENT are accustomed to such challenges. We pride ourselves of the highest possible standards in the design, manufacture, installation, and after sales customer support services. Our size reduction technology has now benefited some 20,000 clients globally and a more than 900 in the UK.

Collecting and transporting varying diameters and lengths of waste plastic pipe can become financially uneconomic when compared to the alternative Weima UK solution of a shredder on wheels, transporting the 40mm fraction to base for further processing.

Visiting our dedicated test facility with some of the most advanced shredding briquetting and granulation machines available in the UK and conducting a successful materials trial this was followed by detailed discussions with our designers and engineers. It was agreed a two wheeled trailer system was the sensible solution; one for the shredder and the other housing the generator and ancillaries.

Shredder: WEIMA 4 shaft Model ZMK40 (2 x 18.5Kw drives).
Throughput capacity: 800 -1500 kg/hr (screen size 40mm)
Shredder weight: 2500kg (approx)
