Spider 1000 – Shredder

The Spider Series is a new breed of shredder. Spawned from the WLK range, incorporating a number of innovative shredding machinery technology developments, in particular the exchangeable pressing system. The basic system consists of two modules: the cutting system, with a single shaft rotor and robust knives, available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the modular pressing system employing smart ram technology, through three different WEIMA options. The horizontal hydraulic pusher option is the universal solution for all plastics, while the round curved pusher is the preferred solution for foils, fibres and filaments. The third option is the sloping pusher, ideal for hollow articles (e.g. containers with residual fluids). This unique modular pressing system can be quickly and easily exchanged, making the WEIMA Spider series suitable for processing a wide variety of materials. The screen surface has been greatly improved, increasing material discharge rates considerably; individual screen elements facilitate screen changing.
