PRAB designs and builds comprehensive metal scrap processing solutions that increase the value of your waste metal. Our metal chip processing systems reduce metal scrap volume by recovering valuable coolant fluids, streamlining recycling processes, saving haul-away costs, increasing metal scrap value, and promoting sustainable production.
Our systems separate the metal chips from coolant fluids to produce dry, reduced-volume scrap.
Spent fluids are captured for disposal or recycled for reuse using PRAB’s industry-leading fluid recycling systems.
Because of our experience and extensive testing capabilities, we can guarantee results like this. Our lab is equipped with the equipment we recommend. You can watch your material run in person or remotely. When you’re ready to start, contact us or request a material test.
PRAB’s Dualpak™ Briquetters are designed specifically for metal chip briquetting, utilizing dual-compression technology to produce high-density metal pucks. This innovative approach can help you:
The briquetter uses two opposing hydraulic cylinders to compress metal chips, loose turnings, and swarf into near-solid, dry metal briquettes. The metal briquettes are high-density and easy to re-melt, transport, and store.
Key benefits include:
– Increased scrap value by up to 25%
– The ability to reclaim up to 99% of fluids
– Compatibility with various materials, including Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Magnesium, Steel, Stainless Steel, and Titanium.
With PRAB’s Dualpak™ Briquetters, you can efficiently manage your metal waste while enhancing your operational effectiveness.
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%.

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

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.
Learn More >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.
Learn More >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.
Learn More >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
