Our Largest and Most Powerful Swarf Crusher – Engineered for Extremely High Flow Rates and 24/7 Operation
The KB30 metal swarf & chip crusher is the flagship of the KB series, offering an extreme capacity of up to 5,000 kg/h for centralized chip handling systems. This robust crusher features low-speed operation and an integrated hydraulic tramp metal discharge, breaking down immense volumes of bushy and long metal swarf into short fragments. Equipped with automatic reversing, solid objects pass through without causing downtime or manual intervention, ensuring exceptional operational reliability during continuous round-the-clock production. Swedish-manufactured quality designed for the most demanding industrial applications.
The KB30 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 KB30 produces creates stable flow and high reliability in subsequent process steps.

The KB30 is a heavy-duty, low-speed chip crusher with very high capacity and an extremely robust design intended for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. The spacious conical feed hopper with powerful feed arm provides a stable and controlled flow of large quantities of bushy chips to the crushing head, where the material is ground down into short and uniform chip fragments.
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, bolts and larger metal pieces – can pass through the crusher without causing downtime or damage. This provides very high operational reliability, low maintenance and stable function even with extreme chip nests and varying material flows.
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.
With these options, the KB30 can be integrated effectively into both simple and more advanced chip systems without changing the machine's function or capacity.
The KB30 is a very robust, low-speed chip crusher designed for high operational reliability and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
