PRAB METAL TURNINGS SHREDDERS UP TO 4X THE METAL TURNINGS VOLUME REDUCTION Reduce Metal Turnings to Flowable Chips PRAB Metal Turnings Shredders reduce volumes or metal turnings by shredding them into flowable chips for higher value when sending to the recycler. Units are a safe and cost-effective way to process all types of steel turnings and other metalworking scrap- using less space for storage and creating safer work areas. PRAB’s Metal Shredders are available as System-Integrated Shredders (SMD models) for use with chip processing or transporting systems or as stand-alone Horizontal Axis Shredders (HAS) unit for volume reduction at the source. Horizontal Axis Shredder (HAS) System Features: • Low-speed operation generates less heat and increases safety • Low noise level for a quieter work environment • Low speed/high torque reduces energy costs • Friction clutch protects drive-train components • Dual counter-rotating shafts with cast cutter disc and spacer combinations produce shearing, ripping and tearing action • Cutter discs and spacers are case-hardened steel • Automatic reversing feature • Externally mounted, standard T-frame motor • Shafts secured by double bearing housings • Bearings are non-self-aligning to prevent shaft flexing Provides uniform, high density, flowable chips Reduces turnings volume up to 4x Improves housekeeping and minimizes scrap handling Reduces scrap storage space requirements Decreases haul-away frequency
