The company designs and builds water and air treatment systems for industrial process water in natural stone, ceramic, brick, and cement processing. Its core technology is the Water Loop approach, a continuous waste-extraction architecture that supports closed-loop water recycling, automated clarification, and filter-press-based sludge dewatering. The product portfolio spans the Easy Compact, Mini Compact (M/L 2.1 and M/L 3.1 Premium), Super Compact 2.1, Maxi S-Compact 3.1, and Just Water 3.1 filtration unit on the water side, plus IWATER and DRY suction walls for air treatment, supported by consumables (coagulants, flocculants, pH control stations) and D-PURE 3.1 automation software.
The company makes money primarily through project-based hardware sales of complete water and air treatment systems, supplemented by recurring consumable chemicals and accessories, plus professional services covering on-site analysis, custom system design, installation, training, and ongoing technical support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project after on-site assessment. Dal Prete sells directly in Italy through regional contacts and works through a network of dealers, agents, and representatives across approximately 25 countries in Europe, North America, Oceania, and the Middle East.
