Since 1908, American Pulverizer Company of St. Louis, Missouri has been making size-reduction equipment that has been used by loyal customers in many industrial markets.<br />
<br />
From its origins in coal pulverizing, the company soon widened its efforts to address other markets, including the crushing of metal turnings and other forms of scrap.<br />
<br />
By the early 1950s, American Pulverizer was making 60-inch diameter shredders for processing ferrous and nonferrous scrap.<br />
<br />
The 1979 acquisition of Iron Hustler Company, soon renamed Hustler Conveyor Company, has created a combination of two companies that can work either together or separately to meet the many equipment needs of scrap processors and other recyclers.<br />
<br />
The American Pulverizer Company product line in the 21st century includes an extensive line of machines for scrap processors and other recyclers. This includes hammermills, ringmills, slow speed high-torque shredders, knife choppers, impactors, trommel screens, jaw crushers, horizontal shaft impactors, and vertical shaft impactors.<br />
