Back to clients Sanoh UK Manufacturing Sanoh UK Manufacturing’s new shredding technology will pay for itself in less than 18 months, due to the cost savings it will achieve for the wider business. Automotive specialist Sanoh invested in an UNTHA RS40 shredder to tackle the surplus metal it generates during the production of brake and fuel pipes for the automotive industry. These component parts must be formed into specific shapes to suit the ergonomics of different vehicles, which naturally creates extremely obscure ‘offcuts’. With the metal collected in skips for off-site recycling – at a cost of £120 per week – this practice already ensured a robust environmental approach for Sanoh. But the diverse profile of the ‘waste’ meant that a large proportion of the skips were simply filled with fresh air. By shredding the material to a <40mm particle size, Sanoh can now load each skip with approximately 5 times more material, which will reap rapid cost savings.
