Skid-Mounted Chip-Processing System for Low-Volume Applications

PRAB’s E-Series skid-mounted chip-processing system enables efficient processing of scrap metal volumes less than 1,000 lbs. The skid-mounted system is forklift-compatible and can occupy a footprint as small as 8.5 × 4 ft. The system handles aluminum, brass, cast iron and steel chips, among others. It is said to increase the value of scrap, enhance safety and environmental compliance, and improve productivity when chip- and fluid-handling are automated.

The system is equipped with a reversible, diagonal-shaft wringer for increased efficiency and low maintenance. A screw conveyor meter feeds the system to prevent binding and clogging, and a discharge screw conveyor elevates dry chips for disposal. According to PRAB, the system produces 98 percent dry chips with the centrifuge/wringer. It is equipped with a 50-gallon fluid recovery tank, PLC controls and a touchscreen HMI.
