A Way to Carefully Crush and Right-Size Bulk Materials
Some bulk materials have a tendency to form agglomerates, clods, and lumps. AZO lump breaker units are designed to reliably and gently break apart these chunks of material. It's an assurance materials are clump-free when they reach the next processing step.
The Benefits You Can Expect
- An energy-saving, low-wear configuration
- Availability in various construction materials
- Various surface finishes, including electrolytic polish
How AZO's Lump Breaker Units Work
Bulk materials that contain agglomerates, clods, or lumps are fed into the AZO lump breaker through the inlet. The product is first crushed by the crushing device and then transferred to the following production process through the passing sieve. Various unit versions with different crushing devices and passing sieves are available.

FAQ
What is a lump breaker and why is it used in bulk material handling?
A lump breaker is used to crush agglomerates, clods, and lumps in bulk materials to ensure a consistent, clump-free product before further processing. This helps improve material flow and ensures smoother operation in downstream production steps.
How do I choose the right lump breaker configuration for my application?
AZO lump breaker units are available in various designs, including cubic and round configurations, as well as different crushing devices and passing sieves. The right configuration depends on the size and type of agglomerates, clods, or lumps in your material, as well as the level of gentle crushing required before the next processing step.
How do AZO lump breaker units ensure reliable and gentle material processing?
AZO lump breakers are designed to break apart bulk material lumps using a crushing device followed by a passing sieve, ensuring materials are consistently reduced in size before moving downstream. Their design focuses on gentle crushing to prevent unnecessary material degradation while maintaining reliable, continuous operation.
What design features impact durability and operating efficiency in a lump breaker?
AZO lump breaker units feature a sturdy, compact housing with inlet and outlet flanges, along with a laterally mounted gear motor. Their energy-saving, low-wear configuration supports long-term efficiency, while options for different construction materials and surface finishes — including electrolytic polish — allow the system to be matched to specific operational requirements.
