PRAB offers a diverse range of Fluid Filtration Systems, each engineered for specific industrial applications and material types. Choosing the right conveyor system can significantly impact operational efficiency, safety, and profitability in metalworking environments. Let’s explore the main types of PRAB scrap conveyors and how they’re used across industries.

1. Steel Belt Conveyors

PRAB's steel belt conveyors are a staple in heavy-duty applications. Designed to move solid and bulky metal scrap, these conveyors feature hinged steel belts that withstand extreme impact and high temperatures. Ideal for die casting, stamping, and machining operations, they excel in transporting turnings, chips, and parts with minimal maintenance.

2. Drag Chain Conveyors

Drag chain conveyors, also known as drag flight conveyors, are perfect for handling wet or dry metal chips and bushy wads. These systems use a chain-driven mechanism to pull metal scrap along a trough. The enclosed design helps contain fluids and airborne particles, making them especially useful in coolant-rich machining environments.

3. Oscillating Conveyors

For facilities with limited space or specific vibration handling needs, PRAB offers oscillating conveyors. These conveyors use a slow, back-and-forth motion to move scrap horizontally. They’re ideal for small to medium-sized loads and are particularly suited for operations where scrap must be gently moved without damage or excessive noise.

4. Magnetic Conveyors

Magnetic conveyors are designed for handling ferrous scrap, such as steel and iron. These systems use magnetic elements to move scrap securely without the need for mechanical belts or chains. This not only ensures cleaner operation but also minimizes wear and maintenance, especially in environments where fine chips are common.

5. Pivot Belt Conveyors

Pivot belt conveyors combine the best features of steel belt and magnetic conveyors. The system allows for the automatic separation of scrap and coolant, enhancing fluid recycling efficiency. These conveyors are used in machining centers where metal scrap and fluids must be handled together and then separated for reuse or disposal.

Each of these systems can be customized with features such as inclines, hoppers, and discharge chutes to suit specific facility layouts and operational requirements.

In conclusion, PRAB’s versatile conveyor lineup ensures that metalworking facilities can find a precise match for their scrap handling needs. Whether the goal is to save space, reduce maintenance, or improve automation, PRAB has a solution tailored to every challenge.
