Swarf Crusher KB20

Design

The KB20 is a powerful and low-speed chip crusher with high capacity and a robust design intended for continuous industrial operation. The machine has a spacious conical feed hopper with rotating feed arm that efficiently pulls down bushy and tangled chips to the crushing head, where the material is ground into short chip fragments of uniform size.

A central part of the design is the hydraulic 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, low maintenance and stable function even with large chip nests and varying materials.

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 KB20 can be integrated effectively into both simple and more advanced chip systems without changing the machine's function or capacity.
