Solids handling and processing equipment specialist, Ajax Equipment Ltd., U.K., has developed a range of heavy duty lump breakers for breaking up chemical raw materials, previously held in drums and sacks, ahead of processing. The lump breaker can be readily integrated within chemical processing plant above a hopper or chute feeder, and ensuring a consistent powder quality for the materials.
Raw materials stored in drums and sacks are often prone to aggregating into lumps during transportation and storage. Changes in temperature and moisture can result in material arriving for processing which is part powder and part lumps. The presence of lumps can lead to charge shoots becoming blocked, reaction vessel stirrers being damaged and process reaction times extended.
The Ajax lump breaker comprises steel shafts and blades that quickly reduce lumps to powder by wedging and crushing the lumps against the breaker’s casing and grill. The residual lumps are forced through the grill by means of a sliding and crushing action of the blade edges. Low and high speed lump breakers are available. The low speed efficiently crushes brittle products without excessive dust.
Capable of processing lumps up to 350 mm diameter (football size), the Ajax Lump Breaker measures 400 mm x 800 mm and is available in single and twin shaft arrangements. The twin shaft machine’s contra-rotate to draw lumps into the central breaking zone, permitting the breaker to smash larger and denser lumps without either bridging or clogging.
