Gericke explosion-proof delumper
Gericke explosion-proof delumper

Gericke Nibbler explosion-proof lump breakers are intended for coarse and fine size reduction in explosion-hazard environments. ATEX certified for zones 20, 21 and 22, they reduce food materials down to 1 mm. The delumpers feature a low-speed, high-torque rotating paddle assembly that cuts material without generating high heat or excessive fine particles. Shearing the material through a screen via attrition milling, the delumpers can be set before feeding, conveying, milling, filling and mixing and/or after drying, spraying, storage, filtering and conditioning.

Learn more about size reduction equipment at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, September 23–25, 2019 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Register by August 30 to save 70%.
