Prab - Drag Chain Conveyors
PRAB’s drag conveyors (also known as drag chain or scraper conveyors) are engineered for heavy-duty metal scrap handling in the most demanding environments. These systems use powerful drag chains with welded steel flights to pull material along a hardened trough, making them ideal for conveying bushy turnings, stamping scrap, die-cast trim, and even dry sludge or fines. PRAB drag conveyors are built tough: the chains and flights are made of wear-resistant steel to ensure long-lasting durability, and the conveyor trough is abrasion-resistant to withstand continuous metal scraping.
Our designs feature sealed construction to contain dust or coolant and can be configured for horizontal or inclined transport, including in-floor submerged applications. They integrate seamlessly with automated scrap processing lines and are engineered to minimize spillage and prevent unplanned downtime, even in harsh, high-load environments.
With minimal moving components and slow chain speeds, drag conveyors deliver reliable, low-maintenance operation even when moving heavy loads or sharp, abrasive scrap. Automotive stamping, metal recycling, and machining companies rely on PRAB drag conveyor systems to reduce manual handling and downtime. Choose a PRAB drag conveyor when you need a proven, robust solution to move large volumes of scrap safely and efficiently.
