Health & Safety
Furnace feeders decrease scrap contact with operators and allow them to be distanced from high-temperature furnaces. Meter feeding provides for safer re-melt.
Low Maintenance
PRAB conveyors have the industry’s leading reputation as being dependable low-maintenance equipment with long service lives. The furnace feeder also offers no carry over issues and can run in batch or with continuous feed for limited operator involvement.
Heavy-Duty
PRAB conveyors are built tough to withstand the harsh conditions and materials moved in the metalworking industry.
