Maximize coolant recovery and reduce material disposal costs by efficiently separating liquids from filter cake and swarf.
Disposing of hazardous grinding swarf or filter cake is often challenging and costly. PRAB’s Horizontal Screw Press is designed to process materials with 40-50% coolant or cutting oils, effectively removing up to 85% of fluid content.
This press can operate as a stand-alone unit or be integrated with the Dualpak™ Briquetter, enabling coolant recovery and retaining up to 95% of fluids.
The PRAB horizontal screw press can be used as a stand-alone unit or in combination with Dualpak™ Briquetter coolant recycling systems for coolant recovery and retainment of up to 95% of fluids. Recycle fluids with one of PRAB’s fluid filtration and recycling units for even greater savings.
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.

Material is fed into an opening on top of the press, passing through a variable pitched auger screw and then compressed against the end plate (held in position by an air cylinder). As the material is squeezed, the extracted fluid passes through a perforated screen where it is collected for safe disposal and coolant recovery.
Material then presses against the endplate, forcing the endplate to open and allow the dewatered-material to discharge. The resistance of the endplate can be adjusted as required to enhance your fluid filtration needs.

After World War II, the United States underwent a rapid transformation from an agricultural to an industrial society, marking the beginning of the modern environmental movement. In the first 25 years of this movement, the US has spent more than $1 trillion addressing environmental threats caused by commercial activities. Since that time, being environmentally responsible has been an ever-growing […]
Accidents and injuries in the workplace are going down in the US, but the costs associated with them continue to go up. There is a long way to go in reducing these costs, especially in certain areas of the metalworking industry. Fortunately, there are solutions available to decision-makers when they choose to seriously consider the application and benefits provided […]
