Balers boost productivity at Sauer-Danfoss
Immediate removal of waste from production lines
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
Implementation of LEAN principles
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 increase safety in the production area”, says Henning Sørensen, strategic purchaser at Sauer-Danfoss.

Secure with leasing
Increased safety
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. “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.
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. Sauer-Danfoss knows the monthly costs, and there are no additional invoices.

We wanted to optimize the production area and have less waste collections, but also to increase safety.
