Swarf management

We produce tonnes of swarf a year of which the Aluminium is compacted into Weetabix sized briquettes which are then sold for scrap. By pressing the swarf, it reduces the volume as much as 20:1 – meaning fewer collections are required, helping to reduce our carbon footprint.

An added advantage to this process is the coolant (which is recovered from the swarf) is re-used in the CNC machines

Solar panels

East Anglia’s average annual sunshine hours exceed 1600 so we’re well situated for solar panels – situated on the factory roof, they are reducing demand from the grid by over 132,000kWh/year.
