WEIMA W5.22 shredder to premiere at K 2025
At K 2025, WEIMA will present the new version of W5 single-shaft shredder series for plastics and the revised C.200 Duo hydraulic press.

The new generation of the W5.22 with a PowRex drive system from Baumüller and a Tevox direct drive from Nidec Desch.
WEIMA W5.22 single-shaft shredder
The new generation of W5.22 sets new standards in throughput, ease of use and flexibility. It can process hard plastics, films and tear-resistant fibers, as well as a variety of other materials.
A rotor with a length of 2.200 mm and a diameter of 500 mm ensures effective material shredding. The redesigned swing arm pusher ensures better material guidance during the shredding process, while the redesigned table surface ensures even more aggressive material feed and increases power transmission by up to 20%.
A particular highlight is the significantly wider inspection flap, which offers more space for maintenance work.
In addition, access from the rear can now be opened fully automatically and the swing arm can be locked more conveniently, which speeds up maintenance considerably. The new diagonally mounted signal towers, which can also display the hopper fill level if required, ensure greater transparency during operation.
Maximum flexibility with multiple drive concepts
W5.22 shredder offers maximum flexibility with several drive concepts to optimally adapt the machine to their processes.
A hydraulic drive is particularly suitable for applications with frequently changing loads. The robust drive ensures high torques with a low kW output. The classic electromechanical direct drive ensures high energy efficiency and easy maintenance.
The measuring machine is equipped with a high-torque drive including servo controller – a new development from Baumüller in collaboration with Nidec Desch. This direct drive solution is specially designed for particularly demanding applications with difficult-to-shred plastic fractions. Thanks to a well-coordinated connection between the drive and the rotor shaft, the power transmission is optimally utilized and a higher drive power is achieved.
WEIMA C.200 Duo hydraulic press
Another highlight is the C.200 Duo dewatering press. It uses a hydraulic pusher cylinder to compact moist plastic flakes into almost dry pellets with a diameter of 200 mm. The low-maintenance compact machine can be used independently or in production lines.
WE.connect digital platform
WE.connect is a central platform that bundles all digital service offerings. The digital platform visualizes machine data, additional information and maintenance recommendations. Machine statuses, operating data and maintenance intervals can be tracked live using smart sensor technology and cloud-based monitoring.
The WE.shop enables customers to quickly purchase original parts around the clock. Thanks to the intelligent search function with the machine ID, precisely matching parts can be identified and ordered easily.
In-depth expertise is provided by the WE.know knowledge database, from step-by-step instructions and maintenance videos to technical documentation.
