Breakers

What are breakers?

Breakers are equipment used to crush lumpy and coarse materials. They work by applying pressure and, to some extent, shear forces to break down the material into smaller pieces. Breakers are particularly effective in processing coarse or medium-fine materials.

Breakers are commonly employed in various industries to prepare materials for further processing or to facilitate handling and transportation. In the chemical, pharmaceutical, recycling, or food and feed industry, breakers are often utilized to reduce the size of solid materials for improved mixing, dissolution, or reaction rates.
