Bins are ubiquitous . If you think about all the places you find them , you very quickly come up with a lengthy list . In and around the home , of course , then offices , commercial kitchens , hospitality and entertainment venues , spas and gyms , public transportation and so on . And then there are all the different purposes bins are put to . Some for general waste , some for food waste , and increasingly common , different bins for different categories of recyclable waste . And then there are bins for sanitary and hazardous waste , too , such as those found in public toilets or the medical waste bins in hospitals and clinics . Bins in so many different places for so many different purposes mean they also come in all manner of different shapes and sizes . And so too do bin lids . It is easy to take what a bin lid is and what it does for granted . Reflecting the wide variety of types and uses , Sugatsune manufactures more than 50 different multi-purpose bin lids and covers . Each type is meticulously designed and precision engineered to be a cut above the ordinary in terms of style , function and reliability .
All of our bin lids and covers are made of high quality stainless steel with an emphasis on pristine appearance as well as durability . One thing that makes the Sugatsune range stand out from other vendors is our manufacturing process . We have invested significantly in tooling capabilities that allow us to produce all of these different products in large volumes with an impeccable degree of precision and consistency . By contrast , many competitors still finish bin lid components by hand , which leads to slight variations and long lead times for bulk orders . We also use techniques such as stud bolt welding that not only creates an attractive and durable finish , it also improves safety . Having all the edges on all lips around lids and covered smoothed precisely in this way avoids the risk of cut fingers . Our hinged bin lids range includes both horizontal and vertical flaps . Our top-mounted horizontal lids are available in both round and square varieties , ranging in size from 106mm in diameter to 276mm . Our side-mounted vertical lids are larger and rectangular in shape , ranging from 182mm in width to 310mm , and come in top-opening , bottom-opening and dual side-opening options . Many of our lids benefit from being fitted with a balance weight and our patented soft close damper technology , which ensures the flap closes automatically but also smoothly and silently , avoiding the risk of trapped fingers . In addition , our top-opening vertical lids , which are conventionally pulled forward top open . can be customised by adding a magnetic catch to hold them closed and a push-to-open mechanism which means no external handle is required . We also offer a lockable vertical lid , a useful security feature for any external bins to mitigate against things like fire and bomb risks . As well as hinged lids , we also manufacture open bin covers . Again , these come in a variety of shapes and sizes . A common use for covers with different size apertures is to sort waste for recycling , as different covers will only allow objects of a certain size to pass through . One specific adaptation of our open bin covers is a funnel designed for disposal of liquids , for example throwing away drinks in a restaurant , which can be paired with additional components such as a PVC hose and strainer .
