Prater’s roots are firmly grounded in the feed industry, with over 90 years of experience in providing innovative solutions to customers around the world. While we have expanded and branched out to other industries throughout the decades, we began by producing feed equipment and we have never lost touch with our roots. Following our initial Hammer Mills, we continued to evolve and augment the design by producing many different, specialized prototypes for better energy efficiency. To this day, the Hammer Mill is still an important aspect of feed equipment due to its ability to uniformly mill and operate 24 hours a day with little maintenance.
