Powerful Solutions for Efficient Lump Breaking and Crushing
DELUMPER® Lump Breakers and Crushers break solids, lumps and agglomerates down to desired size with a once-through, non-churning, crushing action that produces minimal fines. They reduce plant downtime, increase processing speed and improve product consistency. These units are precision manufactured and aligned for smooth operation with low vibration or noise.
Restore Free-Flowing Material Condition
DELUMPER lump breakers crush agglomerated and caked materials back to free-flowing condition without over-grinding. The design preserves original particle size distribution while eliminating lumps formed during storage, transportation, or processing.
Units install directly on conveyor lines, at hopper discharge points, or anywhere in the process where lumps need to be broken down before downstream equipment.

CONSTRUCTION
Franklin Miller lump breakers are built with rugged, all-welded housings, precision-machined rotors, and heavy-duty shafts designed for maximum durability and performance. Each unit features hardened alloy cutters and sealed bearings for long service life, with optional stainless steel construction available for corrosive or sanitary environments. The result is a robust, low-maintenance machine capable of delivering consistent, high-efficiency size reduction in even the most demanding applications.

Inline Processing
The PIPELINE DELUMPER® In-line Processor converts a solids-laden stream into a fully suspended homogeneous flow — instantly. It stops settling out, clustering and over pressure. The reduced particles are entrained in the stream, away from the pipe walls. Scale is dislodged from reactors, silos and tanks and is crushed before it can impede the flow.
The PIPELINE DELUMPER improves product quality, blend and consistency. It instantly reduces tough solids to a uniform output size. This unit improves mixing, drying and dissolving operations. Nozzles are kept clear and sensitive media is protected. The result is reduced downtime, a process that is in better control, and with substantial savings to the operation.
Powerful Multi-Shaft Crushers
DELUMPER® Multi-Shaft Crushers models are provided in a number of configurations to fit many application requirements, in standard (LP) and Ultra-Heavy-Duty (LP-HD) versions. These units feature: direct gear drives, shaft seals and heavy-duty bearings. The DELUMPER TWIN-LP lump breaker features multiple high profile “LP” cutters stacked on heavy parallel shafts. Each tooth is constructed for precise balance, interchangeability and smooth operation.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1How does the DELUMPER restore material flowability?
DELUMPER lump breakers crush agglomerated, caked, and compacted materials back to free-flowing condition. The L Series uses cutting teeth mounted to a smooth drum that rotate through sizing combs, reducing lumps without over-grinding. The LP Series uses extended cutting teeth rotating through a heavy bar cage for high-volume applications.
2Can the DELUMPER be installed directly on a process line?
Yes. DELUMPER lump breakers integrate directly into conveyor systems and process lines. They can be mounted at bin or hopper discharge points, inline above conveyors, or anywhere lumps need to be broken down. The Pipeline DELUMPER processes solids-laden streams in enclosed piping systems.
3What configurations are available for DELUMPER lump breakers?
DELUMPER lump breakers are available as single-shaft L Series for precision reduction, LP models for high-capacity processing of hard, soft, heat-sensitive, sticky, or wet agglomerates, and Multi-Shaft LP configurations with dual, triple, or five-shaft arrangements for massive throughput. Units come in carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-base alloys.
4What maintenance do DELUMPER lump breakers require?
DELUMPER lump breakers feature quiet, low-vibration operation with individually replaceable cutting teeth. Units include extra-heavy bearings for long life and are precisely built, assembled, balanced, and aligned. No screens are required in L Series models, further reducing maintenance.
