Powerful, Quiet, and Extremely Reliable – Developed for Efficient Volume Reduction of Metal Swarf

The KB10 metal swarf & chip crusher is a quiet and energy-efficient solution designed for effective volume reduction of long and bushy metal chips. This robust crusher breaks down steel swarf into short fragments suitable for centrifuging, briquetting, or further processing. With low-speed operation, an integrated tramp metal discharge, and minimal wear, the KB10 delivers exceptional operational reliability during continuous industrial operation. Swedish-manufactured quality, engineered to handle large chip nests and varying materials without disruptions.

Key Applications

  • Crushing of long and bushy steel chips and swarf
  • Volume reduction prior to centrifuging or briquetting
  • Pre-treatment of chips in centralized fluid handling systems
  • Integration into both central and stand-alone chip handling systems

Benefits

  • Very low energy consumption and minimal maintenance wear
  • Efficiently handles large chip nests without operational disruptions
  • Stable, compact design – easy to integrate into new or existing systems
  • Quiet operation (<73 dB(A)) for installation directly in production areas
  • Manufactured in Sweden – built for demanding industrial environments
System Integration

The KB10 can be installed as a standalone crusher or integrated into complete chip handling systems together with conveyors, centrifuges, briquetting equipment and fluid separation. The consistent chip size that the KB10 produces creates stable flow and high reliability in subsequent process steps.

Design

The KB10 is a compact, low-speed chip crusher with good capacity and a robust design built for continuous industrial operation. The machine has a conical feed hopper with a rotating feed arm that efficiently pulls bushy chips down to the crushing head, where the material is ground into short chip fragments of uniform size.

An important part of the design is the integrated bar end ejection system. Through split tools and automatic reversing, solid objects – such as bar ends and bolts – can pass through the crusher without causing downtime or damage. This provides very high operational reliability and minimal standstill.

Operation

The chips are fed into the hopper and caught by the feed arm, which provides a steady flow into the crushing zone. At the bottom, the crushing head works against the stationary ring and breaks down the material into short chip fragments. The finished fragments then fall directly out through the outlet for further handling, such as centrifuging, briquetting or transport.

The machine continuously monitors its load and automatically reverses with an open bar end ejection if a solid object enters the crusher. In this way, the part can pass without manual cleaning, which ensures stable operation and very low maintenance requirements.

Accessories & Options

  • Upper receiving hopper – design, volume and connections according to feeding system
  • Stand or mounting if special positioning in system is required
  • Level guard in hopper for feed control (optional)

With these options, the KB10 can be integrated effectively into both simple and more advanced chip systems without changing the machine's function or capacity.
