One machine. 48 years of uninterrupted service. After nearly 50 years of heavy-duty operation at a manufacturing facility, we’re proud to celebrate the retirement of “Old Faithful,” a PRAB Roller Bucket Conveyor. This durable system proves that designing equipment for a specific operation and material can significantly extend its lifespan – sometimes for nearly half a century. Take a look at some images of Old Faithful and how PRAB’s commitment to #DurabilityByDesign can help you move thousands of tons – for decades – without a major breakdown. https://bit.ly/4m8nMag 👈 #PRAB #MoveItModifyItReclaimIt #OldFaithful #48YearsInService #DurabilityByDesign #Manufacturing #Machining #Metalworking #MetalScrap #ScrapValue #Revenue
