PRAB’s USA engineering team and Poland-based EU facility collaborate to ensure that every unit meets the same rigorous standards, providing responsive regional support to manufacturers worldwide.

PRAB ScrapVeyor conveyors provide heavy-duty, leak-proof scrap handling specifically engineered for stamping scrap, slugs, trim, and chips. Built to retain 100% of cutting fluids during conveyance, these systems reduce shop-floor cleanup, enhance safety, and help extend coolant life while efficiently elevating and unloading metal scrap into bins or loaders. Their rugged construction and positive discharge capabilities make them ideal for high-volume stamping and fabrication environments where reliability and fluid containment are critical.

Thanks to this system’s efficient, advanced engineering, manufacturers report dramatic reductions in downtime—what used to take hours of cleanup now takes minutes.

Advantages of the PRAB ScrapVeyor:

  • Improve pressroom productivity
  • Maximize uptime and increase asset utilization
  • Mitigate safety risks through automated scrap handling
  • Decrease forklift traffic

PRAB ScrapVeyor II conveyors effortlessly elevate and discharge stamping slugs, chips, and trim scrap into bins or loaders while keeping fluids contained.

By choosing this leak-proof conveyor, you’re investing in a rugged, reliable metal scrap-handling solution that improves safety (eliminating oily puddles and slipping hazards), boosts productivity, and extends coolant life. This is heavy-duty scrap, conveying an ergonomic, cleanup-free advantage.

A metal scrap conveyor is a system used in manufacturing to transport metal chips, turnings, swarf, and other waste for recycling or disposal. Common types include steel belt, oscillating, drag chain, magnetic, pneumatic, and specialty conveyors—each chosen based on scrap size, abrasiveness, coolant content, or temperature. These systems improve efficiency, safety, and the value of metal scrap while preventing downtime.

Metal Scrap Conveyor Types and Applications:

  • Steel Belt Conveyors: Heavy-duty, designed for wet or abrasive scrap such as stamping, machining, and die-casting operations.
  • Oscillating Conveyors: Reliable for hot, wet turnings with minimal maintenance, proven to achieve over 98% uptime in stamping operations.
  • Drag Conveyors: Built for highly abrasive materials like cast iron, with enclosed designs to control dust and contaminants.
  • Magnetic Conveyors: Move ferrous chips and fines without carryover, ideal for CNC machining and grinding.
  • Pneumatic Conveyors: Flexible for plant layouts where scrap must be routed over long distances or overhead.
  • Specialty Conveyors: Includes pivot belt conveyors, quench conveyors, roller bucket conveyors, casting coolers, and load-out systems designed for specific applications such as foundry scrap, hot-material quenching, and scrap load-out.

Benefits of Metal Scrap Conveyors

  • Efficient Fetal Scrap Handling: Automates chip and scrap removal, improving plant efficiency.
  • Material Separation: Separates cutting fluids and integrates with shredders and fluid filtration systems.
  • Customization: Configurable for layout, volume, inclines, and curves.
  • Reduced Downtime: Prevents scrap buildup and production interruptions.
  • Improved Safety: Limits manual metal scrap handling and injury risk.
  • Profitability: Maximizes scrap value by improving processing and load-out efficiency.

PRAB metal scrap conveyors are engineered for 30+ years of continuous operation—with documented installations exceeding 40 years. Systems handle up to 2,000 lb/hr of scrap and integrate seamlessly with metal chip processing and coolant recycling systems. Known for their low maintenance and durability, PRAB metal handling systems are trusted by automotive, aerospace, die-casting, CNC, and heavy manufacturing plants worldwide.
