Automating the handling of metal scrap and spent fluids is crucial to protecting your workforce.By Mike Hook, Sales & Marketing Director, PRAB Introduction In a report issued during the 2018 National Safety Council Congress & Expo, the Campbell Institute-a respected global thought leader on placing environment, health, and safety at the core of […]
A frequent question shops ask is whether they should spin their chips to send to a recycler, or if they should briquette. They ask questions like: How can we consolidate our chips to get the highest resale value? Would we maximize the value of our scrap by briquetting? Or is spinning the chips the best option? Assessing the Situation […]
Download Proven to Increase Scrap Value Up to 25% Exclusive Dual-Ram Compression Technology PRAB’s Dualpak™ Briquetter machines increase the value of metal chips, loose turnings and swarf by compressing them into near solid, dry briquettes to send to the recycler or feed to furnace. Unlike competing briquetting machines, the Dualpak uses two opposing hydraulic cylinders. These cylinders press […]
Download Proven To Reduce Metal Scrap Volume By As Much As 90% Documented Results Achieved by PRAB Customers: INCREASED REVENUE“We get $0.17 per pound more for our briquetted material over loose chips.”– Jack Rovan, Martin-Baker Plant Manufacturing Manager IMPROVED EFFICIENCY & SAFETY“PRAB has truly helped us get more money for our waste metal and improve our […]
According to the Aerospace Industries Association, few if any industries have done a better job of improving environmental performance over the last several decades than the aerospace industry. The AIA states that today’s aircraft and engines are considerably more efficient than those manufactured just 20 or 30 years ago, which has dramatically decreased fuel usage and harmful emissions. Additionally, […]
A worldwide manufacturer of complex metal components for the aerospace industry needed to achieve maximum recovery of its cutting fluids from scrap material that was being machined at its facility in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, the company wanted to receive a higher value for its scrap by removing the maximum amount of coolant possible from the material, as well […]
CHALLENGE By combining the briquetter with a crusher ahead of it, the company was able to efficiently and significantly reduce the bulk density of its scrap material. Instead of dumping the contents of the hopper directly into an outside container, the forklifts now deposit the scrap material into the briquetter, which uses dual compression technology to transform it […]
Wouldn’t it be great if you could have it all? With no more decisions about where to allocate your equipment budget or which purchases to prioritize, you could fill your facility with everything you need to maximize efficiency and increase profitability. Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as an industrial operation that has access to endless financial resources. At least we’ve […]
CHALLENGE Aerospace manufacturer needs a chip and fluid processing system to keep up with its machining demands by reducing the volume of metal turnings and to recover expensive cutting fluids for reuse. The goal was to transform their metal scrap and fluid into a viable source of revenue. CUSTOMER Martin-Baker INDUSTRY Aerospace PRODUCTS Dualpak™ Briquetter, Steel Belt […]
Briquetting compresses chips, turnings, and swarf into pucks up to 99% dry, squeezing out reusable coolant. If you’re generating wet chips and sending them straight to the recycler, you’re paying to have the extra weight removed. Briquetting helps you recover the cost of your cutting fluids. Sometimes gravity just isn’t enough. No matter how long you allow chips to drain, […]
