If you are dealing with any of the following, we should talk

- Inconsistent particle size affecting product quality or downstream processing
- Oversized lumps, agglomerates, or clumps causing plugging or flow issues
- Need finer grinding, milling, crushing, or controlled size reduction
- Existing mill cannot achieve the required capacity, consistency, or uptime
- Excessive dust, heat, product degradation, or maintenance from older equipment
- Need rotary airlocks, lump breakers, hammer mills, fine grinders, or air classifying mills


Particle size reduction equipment for powders, chemicals, minerals, food ingredients, and industrial materials

Prater Industries manufactures industrial size reduction and material processing equipment designed to grind, mill, classify, lump break, crush, and meter dry bulk materials.

From coarse crushing through fine grinding, Prater equipment is used across food processing, chemical manufacturing, plastics, minerals, agricultural products, recycling, and other industrial applications where consistent particle size is critical.

We help review your material characteristics, required particle size, throughput, abrasiveness, moisture content, feed method, discharge requirements, and downstream process so the right Prater solution can be considered.

Particle size reduction performs best when material properties, target particle distribution, capacity requirements, and downstream process needs are reviewed together.

A complete Prater equipment review can include

1. Material review
Powder, granule, flake, fiber, mineral, chemical, food ingredient, bulk density, moisture, hardness, abrasiveness, friability, and heat sensitivity
2. Particle size objective
Target particle size, distribution, consistency, capacity, product quality, dust control, and downstream process requirements
3. Equipment selection
Hammer mill, fine grinder, air classifying mill, lump breaker, crusher, rotary airlock, rotary valve, or complete processing arrangement
4. System integration review
Feed method, discharge, conveying, dust collection, explosion protection, cleanability, maintenance access, and installation constraints

Every recommendation is based on your actual material, desired particle size, production rate, process layout, and operating goals.

Particle size reduction as part of a complete processing system

Understand the material
Hardness, moisture, density, abrasiveness, friability, temperature sensitivity, and flowability
Define the finished product
Target particle size, particle distribution, product consistency, quality expectations, and testing requirements
Select the proper equipment
Hammer mill, fine grinder, air classifying mill, lump breaker, crusher, rotary airlock, or integrated system
Optimize production
Improve throughput, reduce waste, minimize downtime, support dust control, and improve product consistency

Milling and size reduction performance depends on matching the equipment to the material, finished particle size, capacity requirement, and full process layout.
