It comes down to our finger pattern design and the force behind it.

Inside our crusher, you have two counter-rotating shafts armed with rugged crushing fingers. As material enters the hopper, these shafts pull the clumps down and in. The finger pattern attacks the material from multiple angles and areas at once, putting immense pressure on the clump until it shatters. This method is incredibly effective for achieving a consistent particle size output and enhances the performance of our size reduction equipment.

Our lump busters are at work in a wide range of facilities. If you handle dry bulk solids that can clump up, we have a solution for you. We serve these key industries:

• Chemical: Breaking down caked chemicals from a bag or silo.
• Fertilizing: De-lumping hardened fertilizers for proper mixing and bagging.
• Food: Handling materials like sugar or salt that absorb moisture and form solid blocks.
• Mineral: Crushing abrasive mineral chunks for further processing.
• Pharmaceutical: Grinding compacted powder for precise dosing.
• Sugar: A classic application. Turning solid blocks of sugar back into usable, flowable crystals.

We offer a WIDE selection of lump breakers for any industry. We offer many different sizes, shapes, and configurations for any business. Check some of our models out below:

Your process dictates the material of construction.

Carbon steel is the rugged workhorse. It's a fantastic, cost-effective option for a huge number of industrial applications involving minerals, some chemicals, and other non-corrosive materials. It’s built for durability in tough environments.

Sanitary stainless steel is the choice for any application with strict purity or corrosion-resistance needs. Think food, pharmaceuticals, and certain chemical processing. This material is designed for easy clean-out and prevents contamination, standing up to aggressive materials and wash-down procedures.

Absolutely. We configure our lump busters with up to a 20 HP motor for exactly these situations. That much power, combined with our heavy-duty steel hopper and robust bearing design, gives our machine the raw force to bust through the toughest blocks of material you can throw at it. This is a true industrial crusher, built to deal with high pressure and heavily compacted materials without breaking a sweat. It’s more than a simple delumper. It's a size reduction powerhouse.

You typically install a lump breaker at a key transition point in your process. It often sits directly under a bulk bag unloader, a silo, or a hopper to condition the material right at the source. By breaking the chunks there, you prevent downstream blockages in equipment like a rotary valve or a screw conveyor. It can also prepare material before it enters a fine-grinding mill, improving the mill's efficiency.

We build our machines for longevity. A key design element is our outboard bearing placement. The bearings, which are the primary wear points on any rotating equipment, are positioned away from the main housing.

It protects them from the internal processing zone and shields them from the abrasive powder and any generated heat. These features dramatically extend their operational life and simplify maintenance.

Yes. Materials like salt or sugar often clump up because of moisture absorption, and our machines are designed to break these apart. The aggressive action of the crushing fingers helps shear through material caked by moisture.

While not designed for wet slurries, our lump buster is very effective at restoring the flowability of a powder or granular material that has become lumpy due to humidity or slight moisture content.

Definitely; the final particle size is determined by the screen or comb that the material passes through after being hit by the crushing heads. We offer different screen hole sizes and comb configurations to match your desired output. You can achieve a specific maximum particle size for your downstream process, giving you control over the final product.
