Industrial lump breaker for compact material deagglomeration

Efficiently deagglomerate compacted materials to enhance flowability and prepare them for seamless milling, mixing, and downstream processing.

Deagglomerates and Reduces Particle Size Efficiently

The Hanningfield Lump Breaker is designed for the seamless deagglomeration of compacted materials into smaller particles, making it an essential tool for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, and nuclear. Capable of processing up to 10,000 kgs per hour, this equipment features cross-meshed rotating breaker arms that efficiently cut and shear materials, improving flow and downstream processing efficiency. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, it offers FDA-compliant seals and ATEX versions for explosive environments, ensuring it meets GMP and other industry-specific standards. The unit is driven by a 2.2kW motor running at 200 RPM, with variable speed options available for flexible operation. Customization options, including mobile frames and varied inlet/outlet configurations, allow integration into pre-processing and processing lines. Maintenance is simplified with removable breaker bars, and full validation documentation supports regulatory compliance.

Benefits

  • Ensures consistent product quality through effective deagglomeration, improving downstream process efficiency.
