Helping Full-Service Recyclers Secure More Business
You are well versed in dealing with volatility but you don't need the additional challenge of effectively processing and removing scrap metal out of your customer’s facility and into yours. In addition, you need an effective way to handle the additional volume in your facility. PRAB engineers can work with you and your customer to optimize both operations.
Before - Scrap load-out system at an Automotive supplier's location. Bins were filled unevenly and not to capacity. The load-out shoot had to be directed manually. The customer had to pay for the scrap recycler to make multiple pick-ups.
After - New scrap load-out system at the supplier's location is streamlined with an automated Orbital Shuttle System from PRAB. This new system fills bins evenly and to capacity and shifts to the second bin when the first is at capacity. The new PRAB system maximized scrap handling operations for both the Automotive supplier and the contracted scrap recycler.

CHALLENGE
Metal scrap recyclers face a mountain of business risk and volatility. In addition to fluctuating commodity prices, metalworking companies don’t collect scrap in their facilities efficiently. This means customer pick-ups are more frequent, containers are fi lled unevenly and with air pockets, and the return is reduced.
