Solid Lump Breaker

The Agimix Solids Lump Breaker is equipment designed to break lumps and agglomerates in solid materials, ensuring a consistent material flow in industrial processes.

Product Description

The Agimix Lump Breaker is a strictly industrial piece of equipment designed to process powdered materials that have undergone agglomeration. Its primary function is to break lumps and clumps formed by compaction or hygroscopic characteristics, restoring the material’s original particle size to ensure proper flow within the production process.

Built with high-strength materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel, the equipment uses rotating blades that act through impact and shear to disintegrate agglomerates. This lump-breaking process aerates the raw material, resulting in a loose mass that significantly increases process efficiency.

The design of the Lump Breaker focuses on robustness and easy integration into high-scale production lines, eliminating unplanned downtime caused by blockages in material flow. It is a compact and versatile solution, sized according to the specific needs of each plant, and widely applied in sectors such as the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

The Challenge of Lump Agglomeration

Powdered materials stored in silos or big bags have a natural tendency to undergo compaction or agglomeration due to hygroscopic characteristics, forming solid lumps. This phenomenon alters the original particle distribution, resulting in operational bottlenecks that interrupt the fluidity of the industrial process. When the material is not properly processed, constant variations in flow and critical blockages occur in pneumatic conveying systems and screw conveyors.

The Agimix solution!

The Agimix Lump Breaker is a strictly industrial piece of equipment designed to quickly and safely break down these agglomerates. Using high-strength rotating blades, the system operates through impact and shear to break up the lumps and restore the original particle size of the raw material. This industrial lump-breaking process aerates the solid, producing a loose mass that flows easily by gravity and increases the efficiency of subsequent mixing and filling stages.

Simulation Engineering and Advanced Technical Validation

Agimix’s technological advantage lies in the use of computational analysis (CFD) and DEM methods to simulate the behavior of granular systems and moving particles, ensuring the ideal blade design for each application. In addition to a robust construction in carbon steel or stainless steel (304 or 316L), the company provides specialized technical support and operates its own testing laboratory. This infrastructure makes it possible to validate the performance of the solution using the client’s actual material before acquisition, ensuring maximum operational reliability.
