Prab Bundle Breaker Helps Eliminate Conveyance Delays
The Bundle Breaker installs in a conveyor’s in-feed hopper, where dual rotating cylinders agitate the material, shredding stringy wads of chips, turnings and bundles apart to enable processing in downstream equipment.

Prab’s Bundle Breaker is a conveyor enhancement that preconditions stubborn metal scrap bundles for improved material transfer, processing and safety.
During metal scrap processing, conveyance systems using augers or steel belts may frequently fail to consistently move bushy bundles of metal scrap because the augers and steel belts are unable to grab hold of the stringy wads. This limitation causes the bundles to bounce around the in-feed hopper until an operator manually breaks them up or forces the bundle up the conveyor — a practice that is both inefficient and unsafe.
This conveyor enhancement installs in a conveyor’s in-feed hopper, where dual rotating cylinders agitate the material, shredding stringy wads of chips, turnings and bundles apart to enable effective processing in downstream equipment. It may be added to an existing conveyor or incorporated into a new PRAB metal scrap processing system.
