PRAB pneumatic conveyors use positive pressure or vacuum systems to move wet or dry metal chips and unmanageable scrap through flexible routing paths—ideal for complex plant layouts or overhead conveyance where traditional belt or screw systems aren’t practical. These systems can deliver material to wringers, briquetters, load-out areas, or centralized processing centers with efficiency and minimal manual handling. Their adaptability and ease of reconfiguration make them well-suited for machining facilities with evolving production needs.
Designed for reliability over long distances or tight layouts, PRAB pneumatic systems feature thicker housings, high-strength fans, and wear-resistant components to handle abrasive metal dust and chips. These systems frequently outlast their competitors by a factor of two, maintaining consistent suction and transfer performance. PRAB engineers and assembles pneumatic conveyors in both the USA and our Poland facility, providing global customers with precision-built systems and localized service.
Because there are no mechanical belts or chains, pneumatic conveyors are low-maintenance and can reach areas that traditional conveyors can’t – perfect for overhead routing or covering long distances. PRAB’s designs focus on reliability and efficiency: we engineer our blowers, piping, and separators to handle continuous duty in harsh machining environments (wet or dry chips).
By installing a PRAB pneumatic conveyor, you eliminate the need for manual chip hauling or multiple augers, reducing labor and keeping floors clear. These systems excel at conveying light materials, such as aluminum or cast-iron chips, and grinding dust.
Benefits and features of PRAB Pneumatic Conveyors include:
For manufacturers looking for an advanced, automated chip conveying method that is both efficient and durable, pneumatic conveying is an excellent choice to keep production humming
