“Solutions
“It’s not just the metal!”
“Our people enjoy working with you to determine the best solutions for
your material processing problems. If all Sturtevant provided was
good equipment, we would have been out of business decades ago.
Combining over a century of experience, the latest engineering
technology, and sincere enthusiasm, we make it easy to solve your
processing challenges.
Experience
For more than 100 years, we have been processing materials in
crushing, grinding, blending and air classifying equipment, sometimes
successfully, sometimes not, but we have always learned. To benefit
from our experience, call us at 800-992-0209. These operators did.

Technology
Using the latest C.A.D. and Finite Element Analysis, we model Sturtevant
equipment to understand and eliminate stresses which could cause failure.
Less carefully designed equipment could breakdown more often or fail
catastrophically. We take these extra steps to protect your investment and
your employees' safety.

SAMPLE GRINDERS
These Sample Grinders are of the “Open-Door”
disc type and are capable of very fine work, producing
products as fine as 100 mesh (coarser if desired)
when working on dry, friable, soft, or moderately hard
materials. In fact, they will do this on many hard
rocks and ores, but with somewhat reduced capacities.
