PRAB Pivot Belt Conveyors

Elevate oily, thin gauge scrap without carryover.

PRAB’s Pivot Belt Conveyors with Rigidized^™ belt surface prevents scrap from sticking to the belt, and its exclusively-designed pivoting hinges flip scrap into hoppers.

PRAB pivot belt conveyors have a Rigidized™ belt surface that prevents scrap from sticking to the belt, and the exclusively-designed pivoting hinges flip scrap into your hopper. This scrap conveyor includes a seamless one-piece pan that collects oily fluids below, reducing housekeeping headaches while keeping workers safer and more productive.

Advantages of the PRAB Pivot Belt Conveyor includes:

• Minimizes carryover of oily slugs, knockouts and thin-gauge scrap
• Keeps plant floor clean and safe by collecting oily fluids in the seamless pan
• Torque-limiting protection shuts down the conveyor when loads become too heavy, preventing scrap handling equipment damage
