PRAB VERTICAL AXIS CRUSHER PROVEN TO REDUCE SCRAP VOLUME UP TO 90% Maximize Storage Space and Reduce Transportation Cost of Metal Scrap The PRAB Vertical Axis Crusher (VAC II) provides continuous, positive feed operation for high volume scrap reduction on the plant floor. Nested wads of metal turnings take up valuable floor space, are a safety hazard and have reduced scrap metal recycling value due to added processing costs. The vertical axis crusher is one of the most effective pieces of scrap metal processing equipment for quickly and safely creating flowable, thumbnail-sized chips from wads of turnings. Feed hopper directs material down into the crusher’s fixed cast cutters and rotating arm. System Benefits: • • • • • Maximized storage space Decreased transportation costs Prevents equipment damage by ejecting occasional solids Improved housekeeping Reduced Labor “The reason we purchased PRAB’s equipment is because it can keep up with production, it is fully automatic, clean, and very user friendly. I used to work in a shop that had PRAB equipment and it ran 24/7, with very little maintenance. When it came time to look at scrap handling systems, I wanted to go with what I felt was the best.” Fixed and rotating rings are used in final crushing stage. Solids ejector prevents equipment damage by removing occasional solids. – Gary Sroufe, C&A Tool’s multi-spindle “go-to guy”
