WEIMA America

WEIMA offers a variety of industrial size reduction machinery to recycle packaging where it’s produced!

WEIMA shredders and compression machinery offer packaging manufacturers full control over how their scrap is recycled or reintegrated. With over 40 years in the recycling industry, WEIMA is no stranger to the plastics, paper, corrugate, aluminum, and canning sectors. What do these industries have in common? All these packaging materials are necessary for transporting various products effectively, and all of them create waste streams with unique requirements for recycling.

Industrial shredders from WEIMA are easily integrated into production lines, making size reduction a manageable process for all packaging manufacturers. These shredders are ideal for the paper and corrugated industries, as well as for processing plastic film packaging and hard plastic scrap. With a variety of rotor widths and cutting geometries, WEIMA knows what it takes to effectively size reduce specific waste streams with ease.

Whether empty and dry or filled and wet – WEIMA has the right pressing solution for recycling packaging waste. With WEIMA drainage presses, all common packaging and containers can be drained and compacted. These include soft packaging, plastic bags, tinplate or aluminum cans, foil-wrapped cardboard, plastic cups, plastic bottles and mixed food waste.

Packaging that is no longer usable is occasionally still filled with fluids. These filled items, require proper separation, if only for reasons of volume reduction and cost-effective disposal. Due to their complete stainless-steel construction, they are appreciated not only by breweries, dairies, soft drink producers and bottling plants, but also by operators of biogas plants, plastic processors and food manufacturers.

No matter the type of packaging you manufacture, WEIMA wants to help your operation Destroy Responsibly™!

WEIMA America provides shredders and drainage presses that give manufacturers control over post-industrial packaging waste. These systems efficiently process cardboard, paper, aluminum, film, and other materials for recycling and reintegration into new products. The company’s drainage presses also compress and drain filled or empty packaging, reducing waste volume and optimizing storage. By helping manufacturers manage waste responsibly, WEIMA supports circular economy initiatives while preventing materials from ending up in landfills.
