Sauer-Danfoss used to have containers standing outside, and the
employees had to leave their working area to go outside with all
waste. Now balers are placed close to the waste source, and time is
saved in the daily routines.
MORE TIME FOR WHAT REALLY MATTERS
After Sauer-Danfoss installed balers from Bramidan, the efficiency in the production increased considerably. At the same time they have gained more space in the production, less collections of
waste, and increased safety for the employees.
The Danish company Sauer-Danfoss
is a global producer of hydraulic and
electronic systems for mobile equipment, such as forklifts, tractors, cranes and contractor equipment. At the
factory in Nordborg components and
spareparts from sub-suppliers worldwide are unpacked and assembled
in the fitting area.
The components are delivered, safely
wrapped in cardboard, paper and
plastic to protect the contents
against rust. When repacked for use
at the assembly line, all packaging
must be removed immediately.
Therefore the waste is compacted in
Bramidan balers.
Efficient workflow
Four years ago Sauer-Danfoss introduced the balers, when the company
reorganized the working routines in
the factory, using LEAN principles.
“The balers had to fulfil four main
purposes. We wanted to increase the
production area; to have less waste
collections, no containers at the
exits, and finally we wanted to in-
crease safety in the production area”,
says Henning Sørensen, strategic purchaser at Sauer-Danfoss.
and there are no additional invoices.
Four of the 10 balers were installed in
the section, which manufactures control units. The balers are placed strategically in the fitting areas where all
received parts are unpacked. Placing
the balers so close to the waste
source, saves time in the daily routines.
“At Sauer-Danfoss we have a principle – we only do what we are good
at. We buy services, which are outside our core business. A leasing
agreement is the best solution for us,
because we do not have the resources to maintain the machines ourselves,” says Henning Sørensen, who
expresses great satisfaction with the
balers.
“We used to have containers standing outside, and the employees had
to go outside with waste. Now they
throw it directly into a baler. The
compacted bale is picked up by a forklift, which takes it away for
recycling,” tells Henning Sørensen.
“We have really good experience
with the machines from Bramidan,
and I do not remember any break
downs at all. This is probably due the
continuous service agreement, but
it’s also a proof of quality pro-ducts,”
he adds.
Secure with leasing
All balers are leased with a full service agreement. This means that adjustments, repairs and maintenance
are done automatically. A technician
from Bramidan visits the company
once a year and carries out a service
check on all the machines. SauerDanfoss knows the monthly costs,

Business advantages
· Cut total waste handling costs
· Better internal logistics
· Improved productivity
INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES
Typical industrial companies receive large amounts of goods to be used in their daily operation,
leaving bulks of empty packaging materials to be dealt with. Lean waste handling lands directly on
the bottom line.
Too much internal transport
Various raw materials and spare parts are often supplied on pallets, carefully protected by cardboard and wrapped
in soft plastic. Once unpacked the empty packaging is collected and transported to large containers outside. But
handling uncompressed waste takes time and is expensive in collection and rental fees.
Optimize your processes
Place a baler close to the production line and directly at the waste source. Collection of highly compacted bales is
easier, less frequent and far more cost efficient. And your staff need no longer cut and fold empty cardboard boxes
or handle bulky plastic. They can spend more time on core activities and become more productive.
