Reduce metal turnings and bulky wads into shovel-grade chips with a vertical axis crusher. The PRAB vertical axis metal crusher provides continuous, positive feed operation for high volume scrap reduction on the plant floor. Nested wads of metal turnings take up valuable floor space, are a safety hazard and have reduced scrap metal recycling value due to added processing costs. The PRAB vertical axis crusher is one of the most effective pieces of scrap metal processing equipment for quickly and safely creating flowable, thumbnail-sized chips from wads of turnings. Turnings are fed into the crusher’s feed hopper either by self-dumping hoppers, a plant-wide conveyor system, or an automated dump system with standard barrels or chip carts. The crusher’s feed hopper housing -with fixed cast cutters and rotating cutter- then directs the material down into the fixed and rotating cutter rings, where the material is reduced to flowable thumbnail sized chips.

Industrial metal shredders for reducing light to moderate wads of metal turnings to flowable chips. Reduce volumes by shredding metal turnings into flowable chips for higher value in scrap metal recycling. PRAB’s industrial metal shredders are a safe and cost-effective way to process all types of steel turnings and other metalworking scrap. They use less space for storage prior to scrap metal recycling and provide safer work areas. Available as a system integrated unit for use with chip processing/scrap removal equipment or as a stand-alone unit for volume reduction at the source. The development of automated scrap removal systems begins with reducing the volume of metal turnings. Milling, turning, screw machining, and swiss machining operations all produce waste that varies in size, length, hardness, and configuration depending on the tool, operation, and material characteristics.

Protect your scrap removal and processing system from metal solids. The tramp metal separator is primarily used with a PRAB Chip Processing system for removing bar-ends, broken tooling and other solids from the chip flow. This protects the scrap metal equipment from damage- reducing downtime and costly repairs. PRAB offers a complete line of tramp metal separators and scrap removal systems to remove bar-ends, broken tooling and other solids from chip flow protecting scrap metal equipment from damage. This reduces downtime and saves money on costly repairs.

Reduce low volume turnings to flowable chips- at the source. Continuous low volume metal scrap reduction at the source. Metal crushers are the economical solution for processing stringy and bulky turnings into flowable chips. This piece can be integrated into existing equipment or free-standing. PRAB’s automated scrap removal systems are designed for volume reduction of metal turnings. The comprehensive focus on chip processing provides metalworking companies with an automated, safe and cost-effective way to process all kinds of metal scrap. The first step in this operation is to create flowable chips from metal turnings with scrap handling equipment. The Horizontal Axis Crusher processes low volumes of stringy and bulky metal turnings. This scrap metal recycling equipment is typically mounted on a stand or heavy-duty cart which fits on the discharge of the conveyor off the machining center

Move or dump more scrap with heavy-duty dumpers and industrial carts. PRAB’s line of industrial carts and automatic dumpers help move wet or dry metal chips, turnings and die scrap, safely and easily to and from scrap metal equipment. Customize the model and capacity cart you need with tow links, dumping frames, pouring baffles (contains cutting fluids), drain plugs, drain racks and casters designed to meet your floor conditions. Mechanical or automatic hydraulic dumpers help simplify the process of unloading carts. Improves housekeeping with efficient one-person operation Minimizes scrap handling costs Reduces production downtime

Remove up to 85% of fluid from swarf and filter cake. Separate liquid from filter cake and swarf for optimal coolant recovery and savings on material disposal costs. Disposing hazardous grinding swarf or filter cake can be difficult and expensive. PRAB’s horizontal screw press processes material that is 40 to 50% wet with coolant or cutting oils to remove up to 85% of fluid. Can be used as a stand-alone unit or in combination with the Dualpak™ Briquetter for coolant recovery and retainment of up to 95% of fluids.

During metal scrap processing, conveyance systems using augers or steel belts frequently fail to consistently move bushy bundles of metal scrap because the augers and steel belts are unable to grab hold of the stringy wads. This limitation causes the bundles to bounce around the in-feed hopper until an operator manually breaks them up, or forces the bundle up the conveyor. This practice is both inefficient and unsafe. The PRAB Bundle Breaker installs in a conveyor’s in-feed hopper, where dual rotating cylinders agitate the material, tearing stringy wads of chips, turnings, and bundles apart to allow for effective processing in downstream equipment. The PRAB Bundle Breaker may be added to an existing conveyor or incorporated into a new PRAB metal scrap processing system.

Reduce coolant waste up to 90%. The effective solution to coolant recycling. The PRAB Guardian™ is a centralized system for recycling used coolants, reducing waste fluids up to 90%, and eliminating concerns about wastewater haul-away liabilities. Typical payback in six to nine months. These versatile and centralized coolant recycling systems remove tramp oils and suspended solids from contaminated coolant, control bacteria and can adjust fluid concentration for fluid recovery. Each turnkey system is designed for easy installation, quick start-up, and simple, efficient operation- clearly making it the best coolant recycling solution on the market today.

Low-profile, cost-effective filtration technology for solids filtration. Low-profile solid/liquid separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals perfect for grinding applications with flow rates up to 130 gpm. Paper bed filters remove particulate down to 5-microns, prolonging coolant and tool life. Filtered fluid can be reused or recycled lowering operational costs. Standard units ship in 5 days or less. Extend tool life by an average of 27%, improve surface finish and prolong coolant life with PRAB’s line of paper bed filters. Standard paper bed filtration systems are available with flow rates up to 130 gpm with different classes of filter fabric allowing for adjustments of micron clarity. The disposable filter rolls are suitable for applications of low to medium stock removal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as organic and inorganic contaminants, such as glass, rubber and plastic. Drum-type models occupy one-third the floor space and can process up to 500 gpm of fluids

Cost effective fluid clarification for removing ferrous material. Remove ferrous material, including sludge and chips, from both water soluble and neat oils with high intensity ferrite or rare earth magnets. Typical applications include centerless and heavy stock removal grinding machines, honing, and gear cutting machinery. PRAB’s line of magnetic separators employ high-intensity ferrite or rare earth magnets within a fully energized rotating drum to continuously remove ferrous particles from the flow of liquid. These systems are often used as a pre-filter to limit contaminants reaching subsequent filtration equipment. Magnetic separators are well suited to processes where ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants are mixed with water-based coolants or straight cutting oils. They can also be used to enhance chip processing tasks and help you get the most out of your industrial filtration equipment
