How does a bundle breaker work?

A bundle breaker conditions large clusters of stringy metal chips, preventing clogs and ensuring consistent downstream metal processing.

PRAB’s bundle breakers are used upstream of metal chip processing systems to improve throughput and prevent clogging. Especially useful for operations producing long, stringy turnings, these devices de-cluster bundles and create more uniform flow into shredders or wringers.

• Key Benefits of a PRAB Bundle Breaker:
  • Breaks apart tangled, stringy chip bundles
  • Prevents equipment jams and bridging in shredders or wringers
  • Improves chip metering and material flow
  • Supports high-volume production lines

Q: When should I use a PRAB bundle breaker?

A: Use bundle breakers when handling long, stringy turnings or tightly packed chip nests to prevent damage.

Q: Will a bundle breaker increase throughput?

A: Yes. It conditions material for consistent feed into downstream equipment, such as shredders or crushers.
