Every day, PRAB helps manufacturers eliminate metalworking waste and improve the efficiency, safety, and profitability of their operations. Here’s what our customers have to say: Testimonials in their own words.
“Costs were killing me before I received the new PRAB system. I knew recycling was important to the environment, but I never considered it from the standpoint of efficiency and cost savings. But now, I realize it should be one of the first pieces of equipment you look at to solve problems in those areas. It just makes complete sense. In six weeks, I was buying 12 totes worth $27,000. Now, in the same six weeks, I buy one tote worth $2,250. That is a savings of 11 totes, or $24,750 in six weeks alone. Over $212,000 a year in oil savings. I am in shock along with everyone else in my plant.”

“On average, the scrap dealer is giving me an additional 15% in value for dry chips instead of wet chips. That adds up to roughly $24,000 to $28,000 per year.”

“With the new system we have around a 75% saving on coolant recycling. I would recommend this equipment to any other customer who is producing parts or having similar issues that we were. We received the exact system and results we were promised and are very happy with the system.”

“I would say that if a company is producing in the neighborhood of a million pounds of chips each year, they need to seriously consider looking into this type of system. Because if they haven’t, it’s likely that they’re throwing money away.”

“I order less oil now for eight machines than I was ordering for three before we purchased the PRAB system. In addition to cost savings from oil reclamation, the system requires very limited manpower to operate.”
— Machining Operation Customer | Fluid Filtration
“We saw an immediate increase in uptime of between 10 and 15 percent. We also eliminated a safety hazard, were able to secure a better price for recycled metal due to a higher density and reduced bin changes 60 percent per shift.”

“I used to work in a shop that had PRAB equipment and it ran 24/7, with very little maintenance. When it came time to look at scrap handling systems, I wanted to go with what I felt was the best.”

“I respect a supplier that takes responsibility for its product’s performance and system design and making certain that it is functioning as intended. This custom designed scrap handling facility is a valuable resource for us and it’s working as projected. Furthermore, we have confidence that PRAB will be there to ensure its continued performance.”
— George Trask, Project Manager, Walker Manufacturing | Automotive Manufacturing
“Our process of disposing metal scrap has become more ergonomic and safer.”

“We could do a die change and not have all that external equipment to move, potentially break, or hurt someone.”

“Before the new system, I was gravity-draining the chips, and we had a lot of extra dumpers hanging around taking up space — at least a total of 70 dumpers instead of 30. Plus, we had to dump the chips daily into an open bin outside. The handling of the chips was costly and making a mess. With fewer bins sitting around, customers always comment about how clean our operation is.”

“When we built our new facility, we needed to look at a new way to process our chips. When you’re thinking about putting in a scrap system, it needs to have the right volume. We accumulate right around a million pounds of scrap a year and we needed a better way to combat messes and safety hazards while making the process more convenient.”
— Scott Jenkins, Machine Shop Manager, Mathews Archery Inc. | Sporting Goods Manufacturing
“PRAB has truly helped us get more money for our waste metal and improve our process efficiency and safety.”
