How PRAB Leads the Industry in Closed-Loop Chip and Coolant Recovery
PRAB’s end-to-end systems—combining chip reduction, fluid separation, and coolant recycling—let manufacturers reclaim up to 75% of their cutting fluids and reduce waste disposal by up to 90%.
Closed-loop chip and coolant recovery is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s now a profit-center and risk-reduction strategy.
PRAB® has spent more than 70 years engineering and supporting USA-built systems that help manufacturers optimize their metalworking operations with integrated chip processing and coolant recycling equipment.
Why Closed-Loop Matters:
- Cut Costs: Reduce disposal and new fluid purchases.
- Improve Safety: Cleaner, safer operations.
- Protect the Environment: Meet or exceed ISO 14001 and EPA regulations.
- Drive ROI: Achieve payback in as little as 12–18 months.

How PRAB Systems Create a True Closed Loop:
- Chip Processing Equipment: Crushers, shredders, wringers, and briquetters reduce chip volume and recover coolant.
- Coolant Recycling: Guardian™ and other filtration units remove tramp oil and fines, restoring fluid quality.
- Wastewater Treatment: Ultrafiltration, RO, vacuum evaporation, and pH adjustment prepare water for reuse or discharge.
