Bulk Material Equipment - Bulk Material Handling - Dry Material Handling

Other industries need equipment and systems for material processing that fall outside of the food, baking, chemical, pharmaceutical, mineral, paper, agricultural, feed, and biofuel industries. Prater-Sterling has recognized these other industries and are quite familiar with handling their specific applications. They are well-suited in finding the right solutions for particle management and dry bulk processing that best meet the needs of these customers.

Here is a list of some of the other products in which Prater-Sterling's dry solids processing solutions have assisted many customers within multiple industries: Spices, Paints / Pigments, Sugar, Glass, Coatings, Rubber, Plastics, Wood, Nurtraceuticals, Cosmetics, Soybean / Oilseed, Cement, Synthetics, Ceramic, Soap / Detergent, Resins, Fertilizer, Pet Food, Oilseed, Tobacco, Confections, Metals, Ingredients / Extracts, Asphalt, Dairy Products, Industrial Products

Other industries served by the equipment and systems we manufacture include...

  • Poultry Processing – overhead weighing systems
  • Animal Feed – grinding, mixing, and batching systems
  • Powder Coatings – grinding, sifting, air classifying
  • Aggregate – grinding, airlocks, dry mix systems, batching systems
  • Fertilizer – grinding, batching and weighing systems

Prater-Sterling believes that "Results Come First." This results-driven approach is what has helped Prater-Sterling remain a powerhouse company for industrial machinery. Prater-Sterling's durable, high-quality machinery is used in many industries with a wide range of applications. Companies that specialize in these industries, and many others, depend on Prater-Sterling's equipment and systems to procure their wide range of products.

The precision and versatility required for many industries' products is what make Prater-Sterling equipment so useful. Though Prater-Sterling machines can reduce grain and sift wood flour, when utilized as effective solutions for other industries, entirely different results can be achieved. Whatever materials need to be compacted, sorted, reduced, ground, blended and mixed to result in the product desired - such as vitamins or plastic particles - Prater-Sterling machinery and systems can handle the particle management situation.

Since its inception in 1925, Prater-Sterling has recognized its customers' needs of reliable, durable equipment that is easily-maintained and efficient. However, Prater-Sterling also realizes the need for its equipment and systems to be used across many industries for varying particle management solutions. It is this inherent understanding of their customers' demands and wishes that makes Prater-Sterling the ultimate machinery provider to numerous industries. When major names from many industries trust in Prater-Sterling equipment, the results must be extraordinary.
