AN Lump Breaker

Through first-hand experience crushing difficult crystallized & hardened Ammonium Nitrate lumps, we have developed a purpose built machine designed to withstand extreme shock loads incurred through breaking bulk material for various industries.

Due to the hardening effects from crystallization and temperature fluctuations, the ability of this machine to effectively crush hardened prill has proven itself as a valuable asset in the handling of bulk Ammonium Nitrate & Calcium Nitrate.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been carried out on both hammer & shaft design to ensure strength and reliability.

Achievable material particle size is up to 40mm with discharge auger rates of up to 750kg/min.

This particular unit is designed to process 1200x1200x1200 1.2Tonne bulk bagged Ammonium Nitrate.

Safety Interlocks, Emergency Stops & Physical barrier guards with Safety Integrity Level protection are incorporated into the control system ensuring operator safety is of paramount importance.

PLC controls are used to safely control various functions and Error Code Displays for fault monitoring alongside VFD units to control output rates.

The unit pictured is manufactured out of stainless steel for corrosion resistance but can be manufactured out of mild steel if desired when using non corrosive substances.
