Lump breaker enables reuse of scrap and waste
The Nibbler lump breaker (photo) enables food, pharmaceutical, nutrition and other processors to reprocess off-specification products, scrap and other materials and convert the costly waste into invaluable, saleable products. Set inline to capture material for reprocessing automatically or as a standalone unit for manual loading, the Nibbler features a proprietary high-torque, low-speed cutting system that shears chunks, clumps and blocks through a serrated screen to reduce the particle size down to as small as 1 mm. Available in seven standard models and in custom models, the Nibbler comes in either stainless steel or carbon steel as standard with a choice of screen sizes to meet target particle sizes from 1 to 25 mm. Optional FDA-compliant, hygienic and ATEX-certified designs for explosion protection are also available. — Gericke USA, Inc., Somerset, N.J.
