WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS – PUEHLER MACHINE SERIES A , E AND G
3-IN-1 : EMPTYING . SEPARATING . COMPRESSING – RECYCLING INSTEAD OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Rejects or faulty batches are often disposed of expensively as hazardous waste because the contents are still in the packaging . This is neither environmentally conscious nor economical . Even if emptying is already done manually , this ties up additional personnel who have to perform a high proportion of manual work . With presses of the PUEHLER A , E and G series , one receives the complete package . Filled containers or
packages can be loaded automatically into the machine by conveyor belt , forklift , or a lifting and tipping device . After emptying and compacting the packaging into compact discs in just one step , waste streams are separated from each other and can be disposed of properly .
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION INTO PRODUCTION LINES – INDUSTRY 4.0 READY
At WEIMA , a customer does not receive a machine off the shelf . Each delivered PUEHLER press is individually configured and handed over to the user as a turnkey plug-and-play solution . State-of-the-art data interfaces guarantee seamless integration into any production line so that the machine can be controlled and monitored in fully automatic operation . There ’ s another advantage that is unique to WEIMA – as a recycling specialist , WEIMA also offers upstream and downstream system
With hydraulic PUEHLER presses , all common packaging and containers can be drained and compacted . These include soft packaging , plastic bags , tinplate or aluminum cans , foil-wrapped cardboard , plastic cups , plastic bottles and mixed food waste . Due to their complete stainless-steel construction , they are appreciated not only by breweries , dairies , soft drink producers and bottling plants , but also by operators of biogas plants , plastic processors and food manufacturers . In addition , WEIMA offers the PUEHLER A series , a fully automatic and costeffective compaction solution for used labels and caps . The pressed-out lye is collected and can be returned to the cleaning machine .
SUPERIOR MACHINE DESIGN – WEIMA RELIES ON STAINLESS STEEL
Especially for ReWork applications in food production , the avoidance of microbial contamination is of central importance . For this reason , WEIMA relies on Hygienic Design , which takes into account hygiene-critical specifications for food safety . This includes machine bodies made of stainless steel , special welding seams against contamination and , above all , a low-maintenance , cleaning-friendly overall concept . PUEHLER machines can be perfectly integrated into the automated cleaning system ( CIP ) of a filling line . Here , all surfaces in contact with the product are cleaned in defined cleaning cycles . In addition , we use food-grade oils in ReWork machines . The machines are HACCP-compliant and can be easily integrated into a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point ( HACCP ) concept .
