PRAB engineers will be on hand at IMTS to discuss and demonstrate the efficiency and benefits of modular chip processing systems, stamping scrap handling and fluid filtration and recycling.
Featured in the booth will be a working demonstration unit of the new Quick Return (QR) Conveyor, PRAB's redesigned horizontal motion conveyor. The conveyor features a single drive that allows it to easily fit into existing pits. According to the company, its smooth push/pull motion delivers quieter operation in comparison to other conveyors that move material using a throw/pull action.
Equipment being displayed in PRAB's booth will include:
Modular Chip Systems
Visitors will see a 3D animation of a full-scale chip processing system, highlighting the details of processing scrap and collecting fluids. The animation takes viewers through the system, seeing efficient scrap metal processing from initial separation to final load out. According to the company, PRAB's modular chip processing system is engineered in prewired modules, allowing OEMs and large tiered suppliers to have a system up and running in a few weeks, as opposed to the months it can take for traditional systems.
Quick Return Conveyor
This newly redesigned conveyor is designed to provide durable, reliable operation in the removal of scrap away from a press or other cutting and stamping operations. The QR Conveyor uses horizontal motion that gently propels material forward without vibration or springs. The single drive design allows for adaptive layouts that will fit into existing pits. It is suitable for use with laser, plasma, single press dedicated units, or as a transfer system for plant-wide application over long horizontal distances.
Diagonal-Shaft Wringer
PRAB's heavy-duty wringers use up to 700 Gs of force to reclaim up to 98% of valuable coolant and cutting oils from aluminum, brass, cast iron, steel, stainless steel and other metal chips.
Paper Bed Filter
PRAB's Paper Bed Filter is designed to extend coolant and tool life, increase surface finish an average of 27% and control bacteria with flow rates of 130 gpm or more. The Paper Bed Filter is suitable for applications of low to medium stock removal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals with a clarity of one micron. It features automated self-cleaning for continuous operation. It is available with an optional magnetic separator for trapping ferrous material, and integral chiller for removing heat from coolant and extending tool life.
