WEIMA Maschinenbau GmbH will not only showcase its wide-ranging machine portfolio at LIGNA, but will also demonstrate how smart wood waste management and sustainable energy concepts can optimise daily operations for industrial and craft businesses.
Companies aiming to use their wood waste efficiently and sustainably can’t ignore the importance of powerful shredders and briquetting presses. For over 40 years, WEIMA has been developing custom solutions tailored specifically to the needs of carpentry shops, joineries, timber construction companies, furniture and interior manufacturers, sawmills, and other wood-processing industries.
Collaborative partnerships and tailored solutions
WEIMA emphasises close, cooperative relationships with its customers to deliver not just individual machines, but complete system solutions, including conveyor technology. The company proves that modern manufacturing processes are only truly effective when all components are perfectly aligned.
“The LIGNA is one of the most important platforms for us to engage in direct dialogue with our customers,” says Fred Haller, Sales Director for Wood at WEIMA. “It’s a place where we can not only showcase our latest machines, but also develop increasingly complex, customised solutions to meet specific requirements.”
Boosting Energy Efficiency with the WEIMA WL 4
With rising energy costs and increasing environmental regulations, reducing operational expenses is becoming ever more critical for businesses. WEIMA is committed to continuously improving the energy efficiency of its machines.
At LIGNA, the company will unveil a new 11 kW drive option for its popular WL 4 shredder. Thanks to the optimised motor, it’s now possible to achieve similar shredding performance (compared to the 18.5 kW version) while using significantly less energy—making operations more economical. This solution is particularly appealing for small to medium-sized craft businesses looking to cut costs in the long term.
From Craft to Industry: WEIMA Offers Versatile Machines
Alongside the WL 4—perfectly suited for carpentry shops, joineries, and timber construction—WEIMA will also present the powerful WLK 1500 single-shaft shredder and the TH 1200 briquetting press at LIGNA, showcasing how even industrial applications can be handled efficiently.
While the WLK 1500 is specifically designed for high throughputs and coarse pre-shredding, the TH 1200 allows customers to compress large volumes of wood waste into high-quality briquettes—ideal for companies wanting to reuse production waste economically or as fuel.
At LIGNA 2025, visitors will have the opportunity to see firsthand the benefits of modern, sustainable wood shredding and briquetting technologies.
