Prab Aluminum Chip Processing System

Prab Metal Chip Processing Case Histories

Application: Aluminum
This respected Canadian automotive manufacturer produces aluminum components for use on their own vehicles. The chip processing system designed by Prab reduces the bush turnings to shovel-grade chips and extracts the cutting fluids before pneumatically conveying the dry chips to a screw conveyor distribution system.

Designed Capacity: 1,200 lbs/hr

Aluminum System Includes:

•	Model VACII Crusher
•	Steel belt elevating conveyor
•	Model-R parts separator
•	CD (conventional discharge) Chip Wringer
•	Screw Feeder
•	Pneumatic chip fan (conveys 240 ft)
•	Target box
•	Distribution screw conveyor with multiple
	discharge gates
•	Controls

Proven Benefits:

•	Volume reduction of bushy turnings into
	shovel-grade chips for efficient processing
	and storage
•	Maximized scrap density to increase resale
	value of dry chips and to minimize on-site
	storage space requirements
•	Increased resale value of chips due to
	extremely low moisture content of
	processed chips
