PRAB PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR PROVEN TO RAISE PRODUCTIVITY UP TO 60% Highly Flexible Layout for Maximized Floor Space-No Plant Air Required PRAB Pneumatic Conveyors offer operation and installation flexibility. This conveyor is designed to pick-up wet or dry scrap directly from CNC machining centers and transports it to a central chip processing system or load-out container. This type of tubular conveyance allows for installation near the ceiling or in tight spaces which provides minimal floor space for operation, and allows for easy reconfiguration when modifying plant space. “Our original process was very labor intensive and required constant attention,” said Sroufe. “It was not effective, far from automatic, and it certainly didn’t fit with our philosophy of having a clean, environmentally-friendly shop.” C&A Tool, Gary Sroufe, multi-spindle “go-to guy” Overhead Pneumatic Piping System Features and Benefits: • • • • • • • • • Frees up valuable floor space Secure, clean transfer of material from point of generation to destination Improves plant safety Eliminates fork lift traffic Highly flexible layout capabilities, for locating both over head or in tight spaces Allows for easy reconfiguration when modifying plant space Can be engineered with multiple pick-up points No plant air required for operation PLC controlled with HMI interface Pneumatic system moves chips from multiple shop CNC machining centers to a central chip processing location
