Rotary crushing valve for lump breaking
When handling bulk solids, effective pre-breaking and sizing are crucial to ensure seamless processing, reduce clumping, and maintain product consistency. The rotary crushing valve provides an efficient solution for breaking down challenging materials into manageable sizes, facilitating smoother downstream processing operations.
Crushes and Sizes Bulk Solid Materials
The Rotocrusher by Hanningfield is a rotary crushing valve engineered for efficient processing of bulk solids, designed to meet stringent cGMP standards. Its unique crushing mechanism using one or two rollers makes it ideal for breaking down materials into consistent particle sizes, supporting industries from pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals. With a processing capacity ranging from 750 to 3,000 kg/hr, the Rotocrusher ensures high throughput and effective pre-breaking functions. The equipment is constructed from durable stainless steel EN 1.4404 (AISI 316L) and is optimized for automated production lines, featuring an electric motor drive. Its integration capabilities include seamless connection to upstream and downstream equipment like cone mills, enhancing overall production efficiency. The valve’s design supports Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-In-Place (SIP) systems, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining hygienic standards. Certified with FDA compliance and accompanied by EN10204 Material Certificate 3.1, it caters to pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and chemical applications with reliability and precision.
