PRAB’s pneumatic scrap conveyors harness the power of air to move metal chips, dust, and trim quickly through the tubing, making them a clean and flexible conveying solution for many plant layouts. These systems create a powerful vacuum or air flow that sucks up loose chips directly from CNC machinery discharge or collection points, then transports the material to a separator or central bin. Because there are no mechanical belts or chains, pneumatic scrap conveyors are low maintenance and can reach areas traditional conveyors can’t – perfect for overhead routing or covering long distances. PRAB’s designs focus on reliability and efficiency: we engineer our blowers, piping, and separators to handle continuous duty in harsh machining environments (wet or dry chips).
By installing a PRAB pneumatic conveyor, you eliminate the need for manual chip hauling or multiple augers, reducing labor and keeping floors clear. These systems excel at conveying light materials like aluminum or cast iron chips and grinding dust.
Benefits and features of PRAB Pneumatic Conveyors include:
For manufacturers looking for an advanced, automated chip conveying method that is both efficient and durable, pneumatic conveying is an excellent choice to keep production humming
