Kibbler

• Used for preliminary size reduction of compacted or agglomerated materials.
• Commonly applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing for breaking down filter cakes or dried granulations.
• Utilised in food processing for de-lumping bulk ingredients like sugars, salts, or dried fruits.
• Found in chemical industries for processing resins, pigments, or other solid chemical compounds.
• Applicable in recycling for initial breakdown of certain waste materials prior to further processing.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on material and screen size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, with motor sizes typically ranging from 5.5 kW to 22 kW.

Construction material

Kibblers are commonly constructed from stainless steel, particularly for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Feed material size

Suitable for processing compacted blocks or agglomerates typically up to 300mm in dimension, depending on the specific model's throat opening.

Output particle size

Output particle size is determined by the screen or grate fitted, typically producing coarse particles ranging from 5mm to 50mm.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves regular inspection of cutting elements, bearings, and drive components, with periodic lubrication and cleaning.

• What is the primary function of a kibbler?

  A kibbler's primary function is to break down large, compacted, or agglomerated lumps of material into smaller, more manageable pieces for subsequent processing.

• Can a kibbler achieve fine particle sizes?

• Is this unit suitable for wet materials?

• What safety features are typically found on a kibbler?

• How is the output particle size adjusted?

Food processing cutters and dicers are valued for consistent product sizing and improved throughput in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction, ease of cleaning, and reliable blade systems when purchasing used models. The equipment maintains strong reputation for durability across multiple shift operations. Key considerations include motor condition, blade sharpness, and safety guard integrity. Well-maintained units from established manufacturers generally deliver reliable performance at lower capital cost than new alternatives.
