Extrusion International USA 2-2022

49 Extrusion International 2/2022 applying for EU funds, WEIMA was on hand to provide expert advice as a partner. SuperBon Commercial Man- ager, Ancu ě a Magda, comments: “In the near future, we will try and use more funding to invest in high-qual- ity equipment. We want to become even more produc- tive.” To achieve the ambitious output targets on a day-to- day basis, the universal WEIMA WLK 1000 single-shaft shredder with a working width of 1,000 mm and a rotor diameter of 370 mm is the ideal machine. With the help of a powerful and low-maintenance electromechanical drive, plastics, as well as wood waste, paper and light alloys, can be shredded to a uniform grain size. Meeting demands for high output and service The recently commissioned WEIMA WSM 450/600 cut- ting mill has a drive output of 45 kW. It granulates pipes and plastics from the automotive industry, PET bottles, containers, fi lms and fi bers as well as granulated plas- tics to a grain size of 3 to 12 mm. The machine, just like the WNZ granulator, is characterized by low energy and maintenance costs. The noise level is reduced to a mini- mum due to the machines’ design. This is not the only reason why Magda draws a positive conclusion: “We used to mainly purchase second-hand equipment from other manufacturers. The output we can now achieve with WEIMA shredders signi fi cantly reduces our production costs. The quality of the machines is what convinced us. As well as the service. The ordering of wear parts is a particularly customer-friendly proce- dure.” www.smart-extrusion.com Germany Austria and Switzerland Italy Eastern Europe Benelux countries Scandinavia Other Asia Russia South America North America Other Europe 34 600 + average monthly visits Geographic distribution of Smart_Extrusion readers, % The onl y website collecting information about smart technologies of extru sion 19 8,5 7,8 9,3 1,1 0,8 1 2,2 2 17,9 11,6 18,9 WEIMA Maschinenbau GmbH Bustadt 6-10, 74360 Ilsfeld, Germany www.weima.com WEIMAWSM cuttingmill with air extraction and big bags for regranulate collection
