Lead Mining & Rubber Reclamation

We can remove the lead from your rubber trap better than anyone, with a machine we designed for the job.

PTA lead mining separating lead from granulated rubber

How our lead mining works

Over time, a granulated rubber trap fills with spent lead. PTA uses a proprietary, custom-designed machine to separate the lead from the rubber granules. The cleaned rubber goes back into the backstop, and the lead is removed from your range.

Why lead mining instead of replacement

  • Keeps your existing rubber in service, so there's less new rubber to buy
  • Reduces the amount of contaminated material leaving the site
  • Restores the trap's performance and lowers lead loading in the range

Topping up the trap

If the trap needs more rubber after mining, we supply and install all Canadian-made granulated rubber on the same visit.

Not sure where to start?

Call Peter to talk it through. Most projects begin with an on-site inspection so we can see the range before recommending anything.
