PRAB expands scrap metal testing capability
- November 13, 2015
- News Release
- Metals/Materials
PRAB Inc., a global manufacturer of engineered chip processing and fluid recycling systems based in Kalamazoo, Mich., has expanded its on-site test laboratory to include complete infeed and discharge conveying volume reduction, fluid removal, and briquetting simulation.
The company has expanded its material test capabilities to provide a comprehensive analysis of metal processing and fluid separation before making a final equipment recommendation. The test facility allows engineers to evaluate the type and volume of tramp metals and bar ends; the variability of the shape, size, and bulk density of the machining scrap; and the fluid recovery rate and discharge storage options.
The test lab includes hoppers, automatic dumpers, and infeed conveyors to measure material movement; crushers and shredders to access volume reduction and required tramp metal removal; a wringer/centrifuge for separating fluids and drying chips; and the Dualpak™ Briquetter for metals that command a higher return for dry, pucked material. It also features an E-series chip processing system—a skid-mounted system designed for scrap loads of less than 800 lbs./hr.
