Pre-Breaker

The Hosokawa Micron Pre-Breaker is a powerful horizontal-shaft crusher designed for coarse size reduction across a wide variety of materials and industries. Featuring hooked, hard-faced hammers rotating between fixed anvils, it uses cutting and shearing actions to break down soft, friable, or even tough and dense feedstocks. Typical inputs include fruits, vegetables, seaweed, bones, plastics, wood, insulation boards, and press cakes. Its rugged construction — available in either stainless or carbon steel — supports shocks and heavy loads, while low rotational speed and high torque minimize wear and heat buildup. With drive power up to 150 kW, the Pre-Breaker reliably handles demanding batching operations. Compact and low-maintenance, it is ideal as a first-stage crusher before fine micronising, making it a trusted solution in chemical, food & nutrition, cosmetics, recycling, and pharmaceutical industries.
