PRAB INTRODUCES PARTNERSHIP WITH VEOLIA WATER AT PMTS 2013, BOOTH #803, IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, APRIL 16-18.

Kalamazoo, MI – PRAB, Inc., an established manufacturer of industrial scrap metal and fluid recycling equipment, is introducing a collaboration in industrial water recycling with partner Veolia Water at this year’s PMTS in Columbus, Ohio. “We are very excited to announce our new partnership with Veolia Water. Their world-renown products and expertise addressing the complex water recycling needs of industrial manufacturers is an ideal match for PRAB’s wastewater reclamation and fluid recycling equipment,” said Tim Hanna, Managing Director of PRAB’s Fluid Filtration division.

Engineered to address unique manufacturing and industry challenges, PRAB chip handling and fluid filtration systems can increase profits by effectively processing scrap, reclaiming expensive cutting oils and coolants, and recycling process water. Engineers will be on hand at PMTS in booth #803 to meet with attendees to discuss the efficiency and benefits of scrap metal handling, fluid filtration, and recycling systems, as well as demonstrate the overall technology advances in these fields.

Featured equipment at the show will be the key components comprised in chip handling, waste water recycling, and fluid reclamation systems:

• EVALED™ R Series R 150

The R Series vacuum heat pump evaporator is designed to produce a final output with a high concentration and a distillate with low conductivity. It’s ideal for use in waste disposal, graphic arts, chemical, and galvanic applications, or in industries where:

• Waste water has a high initial content of dissolved or suspended solids, or is already pre concentrated.
• Daily volumes are relatively small (150 L – 40 gal distillate/24 h).
• Distillate has to be of the highest quality.
• Concentrate has to be recycled.

• Ultrafiltration System

PRAB's line of ultrafiltration systems are designed to separate emulsified oils and suspended solids from wastewater and coolant and reduce oily water volumes by as much as 98% without the use of chemical additives. Manufacturers will benefit from the reduction in the cost of wash water detergents up to 75%, plus costs associated with heating and disposal. System effluent water can be discharged to sewer or reused. PRAB's ultrafiltration solutions help you meet zero manifesting goals and comply with federal RCRA requirements, as well as state and local discharge regulations.

• Paper Bed Filter

Extend coolant and tool life, increase surface finish an average of 27% and control bacteria with PRAB's line of paper bed and magnetic paper bed filters. Standard paper bed filtration units are available with flow rates up to 130 gpm with different classes of filter media allowing for adjustments of micron clarity. Filters are suitable for applications of low to medium stock removal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as organic and inorganic contaminants such as glass, rubber and plastic. Drum-type models occupy one-third the floor space and can process up to 500 gpm of fluids.

• Vertical Axis Crusher

PRAB’s Vertical Axis Crusher reduces turnings and bulky wads of material into shovel-grade chips, reconditioning the metal for further processing and recycling. The solids ejector automatically discharges bar-ends, maximizing uptime and protecting valuable equipment from damage.

• Reduces up to six times the amount of material, significantly decreasing required storage space.
• Produces material up to 4,000 lb./hr. (1814 kg/hr.).
• Increases the efficiency in reclaiming cutting fluids and coolants.
• Lowers transportation costs and reduces housekeeping maintenance.
