It may sound like the latest film from Samuel L Jackson, but ‘shredder on a plane’ actually describes a recent UNTHA UK project.
Our team of shredding specialists is no stranger to unusual enquiries. In fact, with more than 500 UNTHA shredders now in operation throughout the UK – and over 9,000 installed worldwide – a number of contracts to date have included confidential specifications that required the highest level of discretion and security.
So when UNTHA UK was approached by a government department to help with a top secret project, we were well equipped to step in.
Having liaised with the client to understand exactly what the shredder may be required to do, we’ve built an RS40 – a robust four shaft shredder capable of handling virtually any eventuality. The machine has been carefully packaged and shipped as air cargo to a destination thousands of miles away, and whilst the exact location remains unknown, we’re told it’s now in position and ready to shred.
Commenting on this unusual contract, UNTHA UK’s chairman Chris Oldfield said: “Sometimes we are approached at the very start of a project, before clients even start designing their plant. This means we can support them every step of the way, throughout the commissioning and training phases, and way into the future with ongoing service, maintenance and spare parts.
“But there are occasions where the client knows exactly what they need, and the details of the contract must remain undisclosed. This is certainly one of our more curious assignments, but the RS40 will prove the perfect solution, so we’re only too glad to have helped!”
UNTHA’s shredders can handle a vast array of everyday materials such as MSW, C&I waste and metals, through to more complex products including hazardous waste, animal carcases, police uniforms, bank notes and even teddy bears!
