Overview
The PB6 Pre-Breaker is a heavy duty machine designed for rapid size reduction of whole fallen animals, condemned carcasses, green bone etc. and similar materials in the rendering industry.
The cutting edges inside the machine are formed from a specific hard facing grade of steel. The machine operates on the principle of a shearing action to rapidly process high volumes of material.
PB6 Pre-Breakers can be supplied as bareshaft machines (as per image this page) or as a complete turnkey item, including the drive motor, gearbox, couplings and baseframe. If processing of smaller carcass’s and throughputs is required, the use of a smaller PB4 or PB3 Pre Breaker should be considered.
Applications
In addition to the meat industry, PB6 machines have successfully been used for size reduction of:
- Fish waste
- Rubber tyres
- Fibre board
- Plastic
Key Features
- Processing capacity of up to 30,000kg per hour (dependant on material)
- Use of standard orifice plates up to 24 port enables strict control of output material size
- All cutting edges are ground from a unique hard facing steel, and are serviceable
- Self aligning spherical roller bearings in fully sealed housings at each end
- Turnkey solutions supplied with all necessary guarding and safety features
- Shown with optional flywheel
