Choppers and disintegrators for industrial size reduction
Enhance your production efficiency by mastering size reduction, mixing, and conditioning operations with our versatile choppers and disintegrators, specifically engineered to handle diverse material types and processing stages.

Reduces and Mixes Diverse Solid and Powder Materials
The industrial choppers and disintegrators by Hosokawa Micron are expertly engineered to provide robust solutions for size reduction and mixing across a wide range of industries, including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and more. These machines efficiently handle solid, powder, and granule forms, making them ideal for light to heavy-duty processing tasks in small to medium-sized operations. Designed with versatility in mind, they execute precise chopping and disintegration using advanced cutting mechanisms, ensuring uniformity in particle size distribution.
Applications include processing materials such as corn gluten meal, titanium dioxide, cocoa powder, and whey protein isolate, with the capability to manage substances from soft organic compounds to hard mineral particles. The choppers and disintegrators integrate seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment, facilitating smooth and continuous operation within existing production lines.
With variable-speed motor options, these machines optimize energy consumption, reducing operational costs while maintaining processing precision. For industries with specific compliance requirements, options in material construction are available to ensure chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance.
Additionally, the equipment is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, including access points for routine inspections and cleaning, as well as compatibility with Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems for contamination-free maintenance. Customization options such as rotor speeds and chamber configurations are available to meet unique processing demands, and Hosokawa Micron offers comprehensive engineering support to tailor solutions to specific customer needs.
