Equipment Built on Excellence

PRAB engineering knowledge is the result of our extensive experience in the industry and thousands of scrap handling equipment installations for the world’s leading OEMs and suppliers- each designed for the customer’s specific application and requirements. We are committed to quality engineering, problem solving, testing, servicing and improving metal scrap management processes and industrial wastewater recycling in a variety of industrial industries including automotive, aerospace, electronics, defense, energy, and more.

PRAB engineers and manufacturing staff do not just pull a previous idea off the shelf. The decision process starts by getting to know the processes, goals, requirements, and listening to the needs of each individual business. Our engineers will then work to design and build the best solution for you to manage your metalworking waste in a way that’s most beneficial- to ensure every hour of our customers’ production is optimized, so they can work more efficiently than ever, with no unplanned downtime and minimum operating cost.

We drive continuous improvement through the PRAB Production System with a blend of lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles with a laser focus on the needs of our customers.

We are culturally centered on the belief that our customers are our long-term business partners; achieving the goals of their business is the reason we must deliver on ours. Typically, customers who invest in PRAB equipment have a short return on investment and realize the benefits of a 20+ year equipment life span.
