How Much Can a Coolant Recycling System Save My Manufacturing Facility?
A coolant recycling system typically reduces new coolant purchases by 50 to 75 percent and cuts coolant disposal costs by up to 90 percent, while recovering 95 to 98 percent of metalworking coolant for reuse. Most manufacturers see full return on…
PRAB promotes testing programs for scrap processing, fluid recycling decisions
Testing metal chips, turnings, swarf, coolants and process fluids under application-specific conditions can provide empirical data to guide equipment selection, scrap value improvement, volume-handling capacity and projected return on investment…
Lowering Costs Through Optimized Waste Stream Management and Material Handling
Rising water costs and increasing shortages across several U.S. regions are making water management a critical priority for metalworking manufacturers. Shops that implement closed-loop systems are realizing significantly lower disposal costs…
How Do Chip Wringers Affect Coolant Concentration and Quality Upon Recovery?
A wringer uses centrifugal force to fling cutting fluid off metal chips, recovering fluid that would otherwise leave with the scrap. The recovered fluid is mechanically separated, not chemically cleaned, so it can carry fines and tramp oil and may…
The Real Source of Complexity in Industrial Metal Chip Processing and Coolant…
How does PRAB handle integration, commissioning, and long-term support for complex systems? PRAB provides system integration and support as well as engineering support from specification through startup, including system layout review, integration…
How Can Testing Fluids and Materials Reduce Manufacturing Waste?
Testing metal scrap and process fluids before purchasing recycling equipment removes the guesswork from a capital expenditure decision. Lab-based testing produces shop-specific data — reclaimable coolant volume, chip reduction potential, and…
How smarter waste handling can reduce waste and increase profits
PRAB Inc. shows how to reduce manufacturing waste by testing fluids and materials eliminating CapEx equipment guesswork. This in return improves flow and ROI.
Eliminating soluble heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater
Manufacturers can address the common treatment requirement of removing heavy metals from industrial wastewater through two methods: precipitation and ultrafiltration.
Metal Chip Processing Equipment
Your Metal Scrap Chips Are a Revenue Stream. Many Shops Treat Them Like Trash. Every ton of metal chips leaving your facility still saturated with cutting fluid is money you machined, paid for, and are now paying again to haul away. PRAB metal chip…
Old Faithful Retires - and PRAB Steps In Again
After almost five decades, 'Old Faithful' finally deserved retirement. But Zircoa didn't shop around. They didn't look at competitor brochures. They went straight back to PRAB. Why? Trust - The first conveyor paid for itself many times over…
What Is Centralized Coolant Management and How Does It Improve OEE?
Centralized coolant management is the practice of filtering, conditioning, and recycling metalworking coolant from one central system that serves every machine in a plant, instead of maintaining each machine sump by hand. The PRAB Guardian Coolant…
