Celebrating 10 years of the
Scrap Shaker
Premitec is celebrating
the 10th anniversary of
their first scrap shaker
unit to be installed in
the UK.
Baxi Boilers of Preston,
took delivery of the first UK
scrap shaker in November
2005. With a scrap
tray clamping beam of
2,500mm, stretching along
the back of the press, the
‘setters’ have to replace
only the scrap trays for
each tool. No spare parts
have ever been required
even though it has been
running 12 hours/day 5
days a week for the past 10
years. As the Press Setter
John Waite stated “it’s
never missed a beat”.
Baxi engineers found that
belt conveyors were not
reliable and in many cases
not shallow enough to lay
under the press tools.
Being an electro
mechanical scrap shaker,
the Premitec unit provides
a reliable alternative to belt
conveyors and air shakers,
as belts can tear and air
shakers fail due to poor air
or lack of robus tness.

The Baxi tool setters found
that the scrap shaker is
easily adaptable to meet
their requirements. A
selection of trays can
be mounted on the unit.
Common trays can be used
for different tools. The
length of the trays present
no problem.
Scrap Shakers can be
found in many other
industries, which are ideally
suited for this method of
transportation such as in
casting, foundry, machine
tools and the food industry.
Many of which have
replaced conventional belt
conveyors.
Premitec UK are happy
to celebrate Baxi’s 10th
year of trouble free scrap
shaking. Success made
possible by a simple robust
design.
