Efficiency is the backbone of manufacturing. A well-designed system seamlessly moves parts and metal scrap, recycles valuable fluids for reuse, and reduces labor costs, all contributing to a stronger bottom line.
Unlocking Efficiency in Metalworking Operations
An important yet often overlooked factor in achieving this efficiency is proper metal scrap handling. Keeping fluids off the shop floor, out of dumpsters, and away from parking lots or scrap yards is key to maintaining a cleaner, more compliant, and cost-effective operation.
This is where conveyors prove their worth. More than just material movers, these automated workhorses optimize fluid recovery and metal scrap handling—helping manufacturers reclaim resources, reduce waste, and streamline operations.
Enhancing Fluid and Coolant Recycling with Conveyors
Investing in fluid recycling equipment provides significant cost savings by reducing new coolant purchases. However, the benefits go beyond cost reduction:
Effective fluid filtration systems rely on conveyors to efficiently transfer metal scrap while capturing and redirecting residual fluids to filtration and recycling equipment. This reduces on-site solid waste, lowers disposal costs, and improves sustainability.
For example, PRAB’s Guardian Coolant Recycling System can cut new coolant purchases by up to 76% and reduce fluid disposal costs by about 91%—delivering a typical return on investment in just six to nine months.
Selecting the Right Conveyor for Fluid Management
No two manufacturing facilities are alike, and choosing the right conveyor is essential for optimizing fluid recovery. A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to operational inefficiencies, increased downtime, and missed cost-saving opportunities.
Manufacturers must consider:
