This Weima HWV 3000 WL12 is a used wood chipper — sometimes referred to as a wood shredder — dating from 2008 and currently located in Austria. Wood chippers of this type are used to reduce timber waste into uniform chips suitable for energy production, biomass heating, or further processing such as briquetting. Weima is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in size-reduction machinery, including shredders, chippers, and briquetting presses, serving the wood processing, recycling, and waste management industries.
This particular machine is a two-stage system combining two separate units: a Weima HWV 3000 crusher and a Weima WL12 single-shaft shredder, designed to work in sequence. The intended workflow is pre-shredding of wood waste — such as pallets — followed by metal separation, and then re-shredding to a finished chip size. This two-stage approach maximises throughput efficiency and allows for cleaner end material by removing metal contaminants between stages.
The HWV 3000 handles the primary pre-shredding stage and is powered by a 37 kW motor. Its hopper measures 3,375 mm wide by 1,630 mm high, giving a large intake opening capable of accepting bulky timber waste. The cutting assembly consists of 58 knives arranged in two rows, providing an aggressive and even reduction action across the full width of the feed material.
The WL12 single-shaft shredder takes the pre-shredded material and produces the final chip size. It is driven by a 30 kW motor and features a rotor with a diameter of 368 mm. The machine is fitted with screens available in 15 mm and 20 mm sizes, allowing the operator to select the desired output particle size depending on whether the chips are destined for a heating system or a briquetting press. The manufacturer notes that the system operates at low noise levels relative to comparable machines in this class.
