Product catalog summary
Overview: The PRAB Pneumatic Conveyor is designed for flexible installation and efficient scrap transportation from CNC machining centers to central processing systems or load-out containers. It is suitable for both wet and dry scrap and can be installed in tight spaces or near ceilings, maximizing floor space.
System Features and Benefits:
  • Maximizes floor space by allowing overhead or tight space installation.
  • Ensures secure and clean material transfer, improving plant safety and eliminating forklift traffic.
  • Highly flexible layout with easy reconfiguration capabilities.
  • Operates without requiring plant air, controlled via PLC with HMI interface.
  • Proven to increase productivity by up to 60%.
System Options:
  • Positive Air Blower System: Transports dry chips up to 250 ft or more using a chip fan and positive displacement blower. Features include abrasion-resistant materials and automatic discharge chutes.
  • Negative Pressure Vacuum System: Suitable for wet or dry chips, with multiple pick-up points. Includes hardened bends, filter/cyclone receivers, and abrasion-resistant materials.
Customer Testimonial: C&A Tool's Gary Sroufe highlights the system's efficiency and alignment with environmentally-friendly practices, contrasting it with their previous labor-intensive process.

Pneumatic Conveyors-1

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
