Swarf Crusher KB14
Powerful, Quiet, and Extremely Reliable – Developed for Efficient Volume Reduction of Metal Swarf
The KB14 metal swarf & chip crusher is a quiet and energy-efficient solution designed for the volume reduction of long and bushy metal chips in controlled chip flows. This robust crusher utilizes low-speed operation to break down steel swarf into short fragments suitable for centrifuging, briquetting, or further processing. With its compact design and minimal maintenance wear, the KB14 delivers high operational reliability when chips are fed in a controlled manner from machine tools or conveyors. Swedish-manufactured quality with a noise level below 73 dB(A), allowing for seamless installation directly in production areas.
Key Applications
- Crushing of long and bushy steel chips and swarf
- Volume reduction prior to centrifuging, briquetting, or further processing
- Pre-treatment of chips in centralized chip and fluid handling systems
- Ideal for integration into systems with controlled chip feeding
Benefits
- Very low energy consumption and minimal maintenance wear
- Effectively handles chip nests in controlled flows without operational disruptions
- Stable and compact design – easy to integrate into new or existing systems
- Quiet operation (<73 dB(A)) allows for installation directly in the production environment
- Manufactured in Sweden – built for demanding industrial applications
System Integration
The KB14, like all crushers in the KB series, 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 KB14 produces creates stable flow and high reliability in subsequent process steps.

Design
The KB14 is a compact, low-speed chip crusher with slightly higher capacity than the KB10 and a robust design intended for continuous industrial operation. The machine has a conical feed hopper with rotating feed arm that provides a steady flow of bushy chips to the crushing head, where the material is ground down into short chip fragments of uniform size.
Unlike the KB10 & KB20, the KB14 is not equipped with bar end ejection, which means that solid objects cannot pass through the crusher. The model is therefore best suited for installations where chips are fed in a controlled manner and where solid parts do not occur. This provides stable operation and low maintenance.
Operation
The chips are fed into the hopper and caught by the feed arm, which provides a steady and stable flow into the crushing zone. At the bottom, the crushing head works against the stationary ring and breaks down the material into short and free-flowing chip fragments. The finished fragments fall directly out through the outlet for further handling, such as centrifuging, briquetting or transport.
The KB14 is designed for installations where chips are fed in a controlled manner, for example directly from machining centres or conveyors. When the chip flow is kept free from solid pieces, the model delivers a very reliable and consistent crushing result, with low load on the crushing components and thus low maintenance requirements and high operational reliability.
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 KB14 can be integrated effectively into both simple and more advanced chip systems without changing the machine's function or capacity.
