Metal Scrap Processing and Fluid Recycling - Complete, Custom Systems

PRAB engineers and builds equipment solutions for the metalworking industry to increase scrap value and recover valuable fluids. Manufacturers use our equipment to move their scrap then shred/crush it to reduce its volume. The system separates metal from fluid and collects the chips for storage or recycling (returning to your scrap dealer). The recovered fluids are then filtered for reuse or disposal.

Each customer receives individual attention to help them increase productivity, get more value from their metal scrap, use less floor space for moving and storing, and create a cleaner, safer working environment.
