Pre-breaker for initial material size reduction
Efficiently prepare your bulk materials for further processing by swiftly breaking down large clumps and agglomerates, ensuring a consistent particle size distribution essential for optimal downstream milling operations.
Breaks and Size-Reduces Agglomerated Materials
The Hanningfield Pre-Breakers, available in models ND150, ND200, and ND300, are engineered to effectively break down and size-reduce agglomerated materials across industries such as pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and chemical. Utilizing a high-speed attrition mechanism, this equipment ensures quick processing with reduced manual intervention and facilitates seamless integration with existing processing lines through Tri-Clover connections. Capable of handling a wide range of materials including pharmaceutical powders, protein supplements, and herbal tea blends, these Pre-Breakers operate at rotational speeds up to 1800 RPM, providing flexible throughput configurations.
Constructed from 316L stainless steel with FDA-compliant parts, they offer excellent corrosion resistance and are designed to meet GMP and ATEX standards, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. The easy-clean design allows for complete disassembly without tools, contributing to efficient maintenance and hygienic operations. Customizable options, including various inlet/outlet sizes and material upgrades, are available to align precisely with your application needs, supported by full validation documentation for smooth implementation and compliance assurance.
