At the RWM exhibition this year, we didnt just spend our time talking to potential new clients. It was a great opportunity to catch up with some of our long-standing customers too. One such visitor to our stand was Mark Cruttenden, founder and director of pipe protection specialist Norkram. As part of the companys commitment to the environmentally responsible supply of products to the oil and gas industry, this Peterhead-based business also offers a related recycling service. When used/reject protectors are returned to Norkram from offshore rigs, they can be processed to strip them back to their composite form high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic and steel. This is no mean feat of course. They must be rigorously washed, guillotined and quartered, to liberate the materials. The steel is sold to scrap merchants, before an UNTHA LRK shredder gets to work shredding the plastic waste down to 25mm shreds. A granulator then completes the process by achieving an even finer 12mm chip size, before the HDPE is sold back into the plastics industry as 500kg bags of raw material. This circular system is certainly impressive, and its great to learn that one of our shredders is a crucial piece in the closed loop jigsaw. But what is even better to hear is that, in 10 years of operating this machine, Norkram has not experienced any problems whatsoever. Mark Cruttenden explains: This HDPE shredder is the best Ive seen. Weve not had a single mechanical issue or breakdown, it never goes wrong. Its amazing. The story becomes even more interesting when UNTHA UKs managing director Chris Oldfield advises that this very machine was supplied to Norkram all those years ago as a refurbished shredder. Whats more, it was the first LRK UNTHA ever built! Chris comments: In todays modern, somewhat throwaway society, there unfortunately arent many things that are truly built to last. However, our shredding technology is, by design, engineered to deliver long term ROIs, as the Norkram project proves. Its great to hear of such stories. Are you a long-standing UNTHA customer, and would you like to share your shredding story with us? If so, please or call 450 to tell us more.

Concealed and usually laid underground, they transport huge quantities of resources every day - for example, wastewater and drinking water for sanitary systems, households, agriculture, and municipal sewage treatment plants. Or gas for heating systems. Plastic pipes are also regularly used as cable protection.
In particular, plastic pipes made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) are considered to be especially resistant and flexible in use, which is why they are available in a wide variety of diameters and shapes. As with all goods and products, however, the question of proper disposal also arises at the end of their service life. In addition, the production of HDPE pipes regularly generates production waste, for example during extrusion. The good news is that this plastic is ideally suited for in-house recycling and must be shredded in the first step. Here, WEIMA can draw on decades of experience in pipe shredding.
