Metal Scrap Processing Equipment

PRAB's Vertical Axis Crushers efficiently reduce metal turnings and bulky wads into shovel-grade chips, optimizing storage and transportation. Designed for high-volume scrap reduction, these crushers enhance safety and reclaim cutting fluids, boosting operational efficiency. Metal scrap volume is reduced by up to 90%.

PRAB's Wringers/Centrifuges efficiently remove up to 98% of fluids from metal scrap, boosting scrap value and reclaiming cutting oils for reuse. Engineered for durability, these systems reduce haul-away costs, improve recycling processes, and maximize ROI. Ideal for wet machining operations, PRAB’s centrifuges offer precision fluid recovery and enhanced sustainability.

Shred bulky turnings into manageable pieces with our metal turnings shredders, which improve material handling, reduce space requirements, and enhance the effectiveness of subsequent processes like briquetting.

Protect your equipment with PRAB’s tramp metal separators, designed to remove unwanted metal contaminants from your chip processing systems, extending the life of your machinery. Remove bar-ends, broken tooling and other solids from chip flow to protect other metal scrap equipment. Available in 6 unique models.

Our industrial carts and dumpers streamline material handling, providing efficient transportation of scrap to central collection points for processing. Can be integrated before or after chip processing.

Heavy-duty conveyors move metal scrap and spent fluids quickly and automatically from point of production and through the entire scrap separation process.

PRAB’s Dualpak™ Briquetters compact loose metal chips into high-density pucks, reducing volume by up to 90%. These briquettes recover valuable cutting fluids while optimizing space and transportation costs. Uses two opposing hydraulic cylinders to press chips, loose turnings and swarf into near solid, dry briquettes.

Break down large bundles of scrap with PRAB’s bundle breaker, improving material flow and preventing costly downtime during processing operations. Installs in a conveyor’s in-feed hopper, where dual rotating cylinders agitate the material, tearing stringy wads of chips, turnings, and bundles apart.

Horizontal axis crushers efficiently process tough metal scraps into smaller, more manageable pieces, reducing storage space and transportation costs while improving recycling efficiency. These crushers are typically mounted on a stand or heavy-duty cart which fits on the discharge conveyor of a machining center.

The horizontal screw press is ideal for dewatering metal chips and filter cakes, then compressing the loose material into briquettes, helping recover cutting fluids and minimize waste. Can be used as a stand-alone unit or in combination with the Dualpak™ Briquetter
