The
all-stainless, low profile sanitary lump breaker reduces agglomerates
and friable materials being discharged from process equipment, storage
vessels and shipping containers. Material entering the 15-inch square
inlet is reduced in size by dual rotors with three-point, single-piece,
stainless steel breaking heads rotating with minimum clearance inside a
curved, perforated bedscreen. On-size material exits through apertures
in twin bedscreens ranging from 1/32 to 2-1/2 inch in diameter. Powered
by a 3 HP-motor with gear reducer and serpentine timing drive, the
synchronized shafts rotate at approximately 100 RPM to avoid heating
the product. At 11 inches high, the unit is designed to fit in
restricted spaces between bulk storage, handling, processing and
packaging equipment. With optional feed hoppers and support structures,
it can also operate independently. The unit is recommended for
deagglomeration of free- or non-free-flowing bulk materials such as
salt, sugar, spices and resins, and size reduction of easy-to-break
materials such as friable food products, and other compacted powders.
