Promeco is an Italian company based in the Como area that designs and manufactures high-performance machinery and complete plants for environmental applications. Built on technological know-how and years of research, Promeco focuses on materials recycling, energy recovery, and converting waste streams into new end products. Since its start in 1996, Promeco has earned a name for building practical recycling equipment backed by in-house engineering, ongoing development work, and a constant focus on getting more usable material out of real-world waste streams.
A key machine in the range is the Promeco Premier primary shredder. It is a rugged two-shaft unit designed for the kind of mixed, unpredictable material that gives many shredders trouble. For plants dealing with inconsistent feedstock, the Premier is built to keep size reduction steady and dependable. The wide hopper makes it easier to load bulky items, and the cutting system breaks material down to a more uniform size that is ready for the next step, whether that is screening, sorting, or additional processing.
Applications and Industries Served
Promeco equipment is commonly applied across a wide range of recycling and waste processing environments, including:
• Converting plastics into recyclable material
• Chemical recycling of plastics
• Bulky municipal and industrial waste processing
• Cardboard and paper pulper waste handling in paper mills
• Wood, green waste, and agricultural waste processing
• Organic fraction preparation for anaerobic digestion
• Material preparation for RDF, refuse-derived fuel production
Promeco builds its systems for steady, day-to-day performance in waste treatment and material recovery plants. The equipment is made to hold up in harsh conditions, stay service-friendly for maintenance teams, and get back online quickly when something does go wrong.
Why Promeco Works in Real Plants
Promeco builds equipment for the way plants run, not the way they look on paper. Feedstock changes, schedules get tight, and nobody has time for machines that need constant babysitting. The idea is to keep production moving, hold up under daily wear and tear, and make maintenance straightforward so your crew can handle issues fast and get back to work. At the end of the day, it is about turning messy, inconsistent inbound material into a cleaner, more consistent feed for whatever comes next.
Some of the key features buyers tend to care about when people look at Promeco:
• Primary shredders for big, mixed up material
• Secondary shredders when you need a more even, consistent size
• Densifiers, melt filters, and extrusion systems for plastic recycling
• Screens, separators, and centrifuges to help sort cleaner material and pull
more value out of the stream
