Ajax Equipment, Bolton, UK, has supplied a process technologies company with two lump breakers for processing sugar. Capable of handling 25t/h of granular sugar, the 316L stainless steel, twin shaft units are designed to ensure the equipment’s internal workings are in compliance with ATEX Zone 20.

 

Highly polished, with a surface finish of 0.8Ra, the lump breakers feature twin shafts with offset cutting blades providing a contra-rotating action drawing lumps into a central breaking zone. The lump breakers will be mounted on chute work. FDA-compliant seals are used for all joints coming into contact with the sugar. In addition to the self-cleaning action, the machines also feature a removable grill, allowing the equipment to be cleaned and thoroughly inspected. Using a twin shaft lump breaker allows material flow to be spread over a larger area. www.ajax.co.uk
