Up to 4x the Metal Turnings Volume Reduction
Reduce Metal Turnings to Flowable Chips

PRAB Metal Turnings Shredders reduce volumes or metal turnings by shredding them into flowable chips for higher value when sending to the recycler. Units are a safe and cost-effective way to process all types of steel turnings and other metalworking scrap– using less space for storage and creating safer work areas. PRAB’s Metal Shredders are available as System-Integrated Shredders (SMD models) for use with chip processing or transporting systems or as stand-alone Horizontal Axis Shredders (HAS) unit for volume reduction at the source.
