Particle Size Reduction Solutions for Food Industry

Equipment is available in 316 sanitary stainless steel (food-grade), 304 stainless steel, and carbon steel. Sanitary 316 SS units can be fitted with a food-grade white epoxy interior finish for FDA-aligned food-contact surface specifications, making them suitable for direct product contact in regulated food processing facilities.

The Particle-izers line achieves ultra-fine particle reduction down to 100 mesh or smaller, ideal for spice grinding, fine food powders, and pharmaceutical APIs. Lump Busters® handle coarse-to-fine reduction from 2 inches down to ¼ inch, while Lump Abradors provide controlled de-agglomeration for materials requiring preserved particle morphology.

Lump Busters® use counter-rotating dual rotors for heavy-duty shearing of compacted lumps. Lump Abradors use a single large-diameter rotor to gently abrade material, preserving particle shape — ideal for delicate food ingredients. Particle-izers are designed for ultra-fine milling to 100 mesh or smaller, suited for spices, grains, and fine food powders.

Yes. Sanitary-style Lump Abradors feature tool-free screen and comb changes while remaining in-line, drastically reducing changeover time. All units include air purge shaft seals to prevent material migration into bearings. Lump Busters® also feature side-removal bed screens for quick access and minimal downtime during sanitation cycles.

Absolutely. Integrated screens and breaker bars are customizable with hole diameters from ⅛ inch to 2 inches and beyond, sized to your exact particle size requirements. Rotor speeds are adjustable from 300 to 1800 RPM. Jersey Crusher also offers a free product sample evaluation service where engineers recommend the ideal configuration for your specific material.

Capacities vary by model and product line. Lump Busters® process thousands of pounds per hour depending on model size (1515 through 6464). Lump Abradors offer 60 to 1600 cubic feet per hour. Particle-izers are available from 10 to 48 inches with custom sizing, ensuring the right throughput capacity for both small-batch and high-volume food production lines.
