Magnetic Conveyors

What Is a Metal Scrap Conveyor? In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, efficient material handling isn’t optional; it’s essential. For metalworking facilities that handle chips, turnings, stamping off-cuts, and other scrap, the right conveyor system can drastically improve safety, uptime, and overall operational costs. But not all metal scrap conveyors are created equal. Choosing the right option depends on understanding scrap […]

Manufacturers across metalworking, machining, die casting, and foundry operations face continual pressure to reduce operating costs, improve equipment uptime, recover valuable materials, and meet environmental requirements. As these pressures increase, many facilities—large and small—look for systems that deliver measurable results without adding complexity or requiring major infrastructure changes. PRAB provides Scalable Solutions for Manufacturers of any size. PRAB designs equipment […]

How to Choose the Right Metal Scrap Conveyor Selecting the right metal scrap conveyor isn’t just about moving chips from A to B—it’s about reliability, throughput, coolant carry-over, maintenance load, and long-term total cost of ownership. With modern machining, stamping, and foundry operations running at higher speeds and volumes than ever, the wrong conveyor can become a hidden bottleneck. That’s […]

The Role of Pneumatic Conveyors in Metalworking Operations Metal chips and turnings are byproducts of nearly every machining, milling, and grinding process. Efficient removal of these chips is critical, not only to maintain productivity but also to prevent safety hazards, coolant contamination, and equipment damage. While many facilities rely on mechanical conveyors such as steel belt, drag, or screw-type conveyors, […]

Metal Scrap Conveyor Selection Guide: Match Your Scrap, Coolant, and Throughput for Long-Term Performance Selecting the right metal scrap conveyor isn’t just about moving chips from A to B —it’s about reliability, throughput, coolant carry-over, maintenance load, and long-term total cost of ownership. With modern machining, stamping, and foundry operations running at higher speeds and volumes than ever, the wrong […]

Metalworking Manufacturers: Navigate Tariff Challenges In March 2025, the United States instated a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum to bolster domestic production and protect national security interests. While these measures intend to support U.S. industries, they have increased raw material costs for automotive, aerospace, construction, and heavy manufacturing sectors. This cost escalation presents challenges and opportunities for metalworking […]
