Client Background:
In the manufacturing sector, effectively managing solid waste generated during operations while maintaining a clean workshop environment is a common logistics challenge. This case study evaluates the five-year performance of a metal scrap system custom-designed by AUPWIT for KOSO Control Engineering (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. The system was commissioned in January 2021 and features a synchronized automatic hoist, extra-high skip hoppers, and a Y81PTZ metal baler integrated with an advanced fluid drainage system. After more than five years of heavy-duty operation, the solution has fully automated the customer's scrap iron handling, achieved liquid-solid separation, and maintained optimal uptime with no major component failures.
The Challenge:
Wuxi KOSO Control Engineering Co., Ltd. is a recognized, high-efficiency leader in the production of industrial control valves and automated instrumentation systems. The company serves heavy industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation, where production processes require ultra-precision machining and large-scale metal cutting. These operations generate substantial volumes of iron filings and metal turnings every day. To sustain production efficiency, the company needed a safe, reliable, and sustainable method for handling industrial solid waste.
