Customer in Somalia Ordered a Waste Metal Baler

In a world where recycling and waste management play a pivotal role in sustainability, the demand for efficient and user-friendly equipment has never been greater. This need extends to even the most challenging environments, where access to resources like electricity can be limited.

This customer case study from Somalia sheds light on how our company addressed the unique requirements of a customer from a region facing power shortages and a need for reliability in waste metal baling equipment.

The Customer’s Situation

Somalia, a country with a history of political instability and limited access to essential services, faces a multitude of challenges. One such challenge is the scarcity of reliable electrical power.

In this context, a local customer was looking for a waste metal baling machine that could operate efficiently, consume minimal electricity, and be easy to maintain in the absence of readily available technical support. Our waste metal baler, Model SL-135, proved to be the perfect fit for this customer’s needs.

Customization to Meet Unique Demands

Recognizing the need for customization in our product, we worked closely with the customer to ensure that the waste metal baler would meet their specific requirements. Here are some of the key customizations made to the machine:

Power Efficiency: The customer requested an 11KW motor, a lower power option compared to the standard configuration. This adjustment ensured that the waste metal baler would operate efficiently and consume less electricity, which was essential given the unreliable power supply in the region.

Manual Operation: While the standard model comes with hydraulic door openings, we customized the machine to have a manual door opening mechanism. The customer’s concern was valid; in case of machine failure, access to hydraulic repair services might be limited in their area. The manual operation feature addressed this concern, making maintenance and repairs more manageable.
