Lump breaker

• Breaking down compacted powders or granulated materials into a free-flowing state.
• Reducing agglomerated blocks of food ingredients, such as frozen fruit or sugar.
• Processing chemicals, minerals, or pharmaceuticals to improve flow characteristics.
• Preparing materials for further processing steps like mixing, conveying, or packaging.

Construction material

This unit is stainless steel, which is common for food processing and pharmaceutical applications due to hygiene requirements.

Infeed mechanism

Features a variable speed infeed conveyor, typically allowing for controlled material feed rates.

Belt width

This unit has a 370mm belt width, which dictates the maximum width of material blocks it can accommodate.

Mobility

Being mobile, this lump breaker offers flexibility for deployment in various areas of a processing plant.

Power supply

Operates on a 3-phase electrical supply, common for industrial machinery in the UK.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on material and motor size.

Suitable feed sizes

Commonly handles blocks or agglomerates up to the width of the infeed, with thickness depending on the breaker mechanism.

• What types of materials can a lump breaker process?

  Lump breakers are designed to process a wide range of materials, including powders, granules, flakes, and soft agglomerates, particularly those that have compacted during storage or transport.

• How does a variable speed infeed conveyor benefit operation?

• Is stainless steel construction important for all applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a lump breaker?

• Can this unit handle hard or abrasive materials?

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.
