Pre-crusher for reducing large particle size in bulk materials
Efficiently reduce oversized material before processing with this robust pre-crusher, designed to handle everything from grinding rubber to breaking down lumps in powdered minerals, ensuring optimal particle sizing for downstream operations.
Reduces and Sizes Coarse Lumps Efficiently
The Pre-Crusher APC from Hosokawa Solids is engineered for seamless integration into diverse production lines, offering coarse material pre-crushing with precision. This equipment excels in breaking down large lumps or agglomerates without the need for additional conveying or vacuum systems, promoting cost-effectiveness and space efficiency. It’s suitable for use in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and powdered minerals, delivering products like protein-enriched foodstuffs and recycled plastic pellets. Operating continuously, it handles high-speed processing, aided by a replaceable grate and defined gap width for customizable particle sizing. Engineered with a focus on low energy consumption and available with material configurations for chemical resistance, the Pre-Crusher APC is easy to clean and maintain, supporting compliance with industry standards.
