Prater Industries prides itself not only on its cutting-edge equipment and innovative techniques but also on its involvement in green industries like recycling that contribute to the health of our planet. Prater provides customers with machinery for breaking down e-waste, food waste, wood waste, and other recyclable materials, transforming waste into usable material that can be made into new products. Rising prices in all forms of raw materials have improved the ROI and return on investment and reduced the payback periods. An example is metals, where the raw material costs have made recovering valuable metals from e-waste highly profitable, often more profitable than processing mined ore.
A maquinaria de reciclagem da Prater lida com uma grande variedade de resíduos electrónicos, incluindo:
- Telemóveis e carregadores
- Discos compactos
- Discos rígidos de computador
- Electrónica de consumo
- Microchips (incluindo armações de chumbo)
- Placas de circuitos impressos
- Baterias recarregáveis
- Semicondutores
- Televisões
Recycling Wood Waste
Prater’s equipment also supports the recycling of wood waste. Reducing and processing waste wood allows it to be used for various other products.
Os resíduos de madeira reciclada podem ser utilizados em:
- Cama para animais
- Briquetes para barbecue
- Biocombustível
- Composto
- Enchedores
- Firestarters
- Farinha de madeira industrial
- Outros produtos à base de madeira
- Contraplacado
- Painéis de madeira
Prater Industries can customize its equipment to recycle just about any substance that requires particle reduction, including non-wood organic matter and plastics.
Equipamento de Processamento para Reciclagem
Prater fornece uma gama de equipamento para apoiar os esforços de reciclagem que requerem redução de material. Ajudamos a implementar e integrar a nossa maquinaria nos sistemas, fornecendo apoio com testes e processamento de portagens relacionados com o desenvolvimento de produtos, produção de emergência, e testes de produtos.
O equipamento que a Prater fabrica que pode ser utilizado em aplicações de reciclagem inclui:
Our hammermills break e-waste into manageable sizes as its hammering mechanisms pass the grate or screen, further reducing material through grinding actions. Hammermills reduce e-waste and ensure that sensitive data is scoured from electronic equipment during the recycling process.
In 2021, Prater acquired IPEC (International Process Equipment Company), known for manufacturing quality rotor mills, which work well in recycling operations. This multi-purpose mill uses an internal rotor, which pulverizes particles by spinning at high speed. The turbulence causes particles to collide, causing further reduction, while using heavy-duty bearings positioned outside the mill’s grinding chamber to prevent material contamination and provide stability during operation.
