A Manitowoc-owned company made a $1.5 million investment to reduce environmental waste.
Wabash Castings Inc., owned by the Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry in Manitowoc, has installed a new JOEST Complete Shaker System that will “improve operations and reduce landfill waste.”
The product will allow the manufacturer to recover substantial amounts of sand used in the production process.
Sachin Shivaram, the CEO of Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry, said, “We are continually seeking operational improvements that not only create production efficiencies but, equally important, reduce our environmental footprint.”
The new process is said to reduce the amount of sand needed in half and cut sand deliveries from every day to less than ten times per month.
