Weima Maschinenbau GmbH has further developed the rotor of its single-shaft WLK-type shredder, especially for shredding textile filaments, tapes and films.The F-rotor has a novel blade separation and cutting geometry for optimal shredding with a high level of energy efficiency.
When shredding films and filaments, those materials tend to wrap themselves around single-shaft rotors. On the F-Rotor, the full extent of the rotor engages with the stator blade, quickly shredding the material. A much narrower gap than earlier rotor versions guarantees controlled feeding of the material to be shredded, according to Weima, of Ilsfeld, Germany.
The firm's U.S. operation, Weima America Inc., is in Fort Mill, S.C.
