Tablets & Capsules May 2019 25 Lump breaker RDC-3030-SS DeClumper lump breaker reduces agglomer- ates and compacted materials to their original particle sizes. Compact unit fits in restricted spaces between bulk storage, handling, processing, and packaging equipment, or operates independently when used with an optional feed hopper and support base. Lump breaker is equipped with interlocking side-removal bed screens that remove without tools for quick cleaning, changing, and inspection, unlike conventional units that must be unbolted from upstream and downstream equip- ment to access bed screens. Dual, independent motors add capacity and redundancy and rotate the synchronized shafts at approximately 120 rpm to avoid heating the product. Unit is suitable for deagglomeration of free- or non-free-flowing bulk chemicals and hygroscopic materials as well as size reduction of large chunks of friable materials and compacted powders. Unit can withstand heavy use, is simple to maintain, and is available in several finishes, such as type 304 and 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, and abrasion-resistant steel.
