PRAB now offers a lighter-duty version of its proven drag conveyor technology that easily integrates under certain types of CNC machines for removal of chips at the source. “We’ve redesigned our drag conveyor in a low-profile format to easily integrate under machining centers,” says Mike Porter, systems project engineer. “PRAB’s new lighter-duty drag conveyor is a very economic replacement alternative to factory-installed 1.5-inch pitch steel belt conveyors, which can often require frequent maintenance due to premature wear.” The specially designed drag conveyor also features a grated end plate to allow metalworking fluid transferred from chips to exit the conveyor and collect in a liquid-tight trough. In addition to added reliability due to less moving parts, PRAB’s drag conveyor offers zero carryover to improve productivity. PRAB can engineer and manufacture drag and other conveyors per customer application demands. For more information go to [www.prab.com].
