Applications Overview

The vast applications of Prater-Sterling industrial equipment can be directly linked to the success of our company for over 80 years. Our products are not just reliable, but adaptable across many industries and various purposes. Though it all began with a hammer mill breaking up feed, Prater-Sterling industrial machines have become staples for providing Particle Management Solutions in applications such as size reduction, feeding, separation, classification, compaction, toll processing, weighing and batching, as well as mixing and blending. The feed industry soon became one of the many industries that Prater-Sterling supplied equipment and systems to since 1925. The Prater-Sterling name quickly grew across multiple industries, as the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, paper and plastics industries evolved, and the applications broadened and demand for products quickly increased. We believe in providing our customers with optimal results, which is why at Prater-Sterling, "Results Come First."

Our Particle Management Solutions are so widely applicable due to the versatility of Prater-Sterling industrial equipment. Although our hammermill may be ideal for breaking up parmesan cheese, the hammermill may also reduce the particle size of ceramic floor tile. The diversity of Prater-Sterling industrial machines' capabilities is why so many huge corporations such as Keebler, Kraft, Abbott and Pfizer trust in our products. Over 6,000 customers realize that when they have a particle management need, Prater-Sterling has a solution for them. As a result, our equipment is carefully designed to perform in a variety of different applications and is customized to meet the specifications within each company's process or system.

When it comes to creating a new system or building onto an existing system for a customer's particular application, our engineering and manufacturing teams work hard to ensure that overall system is designed to cost-effectively meet the application of the product being processed, installed properly to accurately process the materials, and that each component is guaranteed to operate efficiently from start to finish. Solving the material processing challenges that our customer's face day-to-day is simply what we do!
