Breaking up Agglomerates Material that is stored can become compacted and/or agglomerated. For instance, bagged powders can form lumps or even be one solid lump in the lower layers, when stored on a pallet. Hygroscopic material, such as cement, can agglomerate on silo walls from exposure to humidity in the air.

Reducing Your Material for further processing crushing lumps can prepare your material for secondary size reduction, by increasing the material’s surface area to improve efficiency for drying or for better mixing. Proper sizing can improve your material’s flow characteristics while reducing segregation.

A properly selected Lump breaker can reduce heat build-up in your material while reducing the size and horsepower of downstream equipment. Crushing off-spec material can eliminate waste and increase overall revenue.
