Single and Double-Shaft Shredders

The volume reduction of aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, steel and other types of metal chips represents a significant cost savings in labor, disposal, transport and storage. Jorgensen/SFH single and double-shaft shredders efficiently reduce chip size in preparation for centrifuging or briquetting. The volume reduction resulting from implementing a shredder also lessens the frequency of bin removal from a machine, giving a shop's employees additional time to focus on other more productive work. Jorgensen/SFH offer a variety of shredder size options constructed per a customer's material and desired chip output needs.

MLS Series Wheeled Load Skates

Limited space and minimal headroom are typical challenges when moving equipment. The MLS-Series is compact. It's low-height design is ideal for minimal lift heights and to accommodate limited clearance above loads. It's also versatile. The MLSS models provides good directional movement. Meanwhile the MLSR models feature 360-degree movement ideal for tight spaces.

EVO-P Pump-Per-Point Synchronous Lift System

As a Pump-Per-Point system, the EVO-P features individual hydraulic pumps for each lifting point. This reduces distance from pump to cylinder, minimizing hose lengths and risk of leaks. The hydraulic pumps are two-stage, which are ideal for fast retraction and repetitive operations.

Custom Modifications for Standard Rollers and Bumpers

The products can be custom modified in various dimensions, shapes and sizes to meet the specific application requirements. For example, the outside diameter (O.D.) of a roller could be turned down, or a bumper of a certain width could be produced. These modifications eliminate the typical design and production time necessary for a custom roller or bumper to be tooled up and molded.

Auto-Take Up System

the PRAB Auto-Take Up automatically monitors tension using load cells on chain conveyors, including steel belt conveyors, drag conveyors, the PRAB ScrapVeyor, and more. The system is wired to a PLC control panel, which monitors tension and automatically tightens the belt to eliminate manual adjustments and downtime. It can be added to new conveyors or retrofitted onto existing models. If retrofitted onto an existing conveyor, the system can be operated using that conveyor's original control panel. Automatic adjustments can be scheduled to be completed during low production times or shift changes.
