Inline Lump Breaker for Efficient Agglomerate Size Reduction in Pipe Systems DN200 to DN500

In industrial processes, lumps and agglomerates in powders and granulates can cause blockages and inconsistent product flows. An effective solution is integrating an inline lump breaker directly into the drop pipe. This setup ensures a continuous and even material flow, minimizes downtime, and improves overall process efficiency.

The inline lump breaker is equipped with rotating knives or breaker pins that mechanically reduce agglomerates and lumps as the material flows through the drop pipe. This maintains a consistent particle size without reducing throughput capacity.

The lump breaker is suitable for powders and granulates in industries such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical. Common materials include flour, sugar, lime, cement, and pharmaceutical powders.

Capacity varies depending on the model and material properties, typically ranging from 1 to 50 tons per hour. Custom adaptations can be made to support higher capacities.

Yes, its compact design allows easy integration into existing drop pipes without major modifications. The lump breaker can be custom-designed for various pipe diameters, DN200 to DN500 flat oval pipes.

The lump breaker is typically powered by an electric motor with a gearbox. Optionally, a frequency converter can be added to optimize speed and breaking force.

Yes, for food and pharmaceutical applications, the lump breaker can be manufactured from stainless steel 304 or 316 with smooth, seamless surfaces to prevent product residue buildup and cross-contamination.

Yes, the lump breaker can be supplied in ATEX-certified versions for explosive environments. This includes spark-free materials, grounded components, and optional nitrogen inerting.
