Ekomex KBM-1000 Frozen Block Pallet Crusher
POA
The Ekomex KBM-1000 frozen block pallet crusher is a pivotal piece of machinery in the pet food processing industry, specifically designed to effortlessly reduce frozen blocks into smaller, processable pieces. Due to the design and construction of the cutting chamber, it enables the user to process 40 blocks simultaenously with a total weight of up to 800 Kg.
Integral to its operation, the Ekomex Kbm 1000 has a robust crushing mechanism capable of handling the sheer density of frozen raw blocks, ensuring a consistent output which is essential for the continuity of the production line. Its adoption not only streamlines the workflow but also significantly mitigates the physical strain on operators, often associated with the handling of such dense materials.
Optimal Product Temperature: To ensure the best results, it is recommended to maintain a product temperature in the range of -15 to -20 °C. This temperature range helps preserve the freshness and nutritional value of the raw ingredients, providing pets with a wholesome and nutritious meal.
Crushing Technique: The crushing process plays a vital role in breaking down the raw ingredients into an easily digestible form for pets. It is achieved through the use of two slow-rotating, highly durable tooth rollers. These rollers create a gravitational zone where the blocks of raw food fall after being lifted by column loading. This technique ensures a consistent and efficient crushing process.
Grinding Process: After the initial crushing, the product is further processed through grinding to achieve the desired texture and size. The head and counter teeth are strategically designed to pull in the crushed product and break it into pieces similar in width to the teeth, typically ranging from 35 to 70 mm.
The mahine incorporates an intuitive control panel for operation ease and customisation options are available for specific processing needs.
This machine’s internal mechanism is engineered to -20°C functional compatibility to prevent operational disruptions due to frozen materials. It accommodates large block dimensions with relative ease, boasting a spacious hopper and a substantial crushing area. Consequently, it is highly adaptable to the diverse specifications of frozen blocks that pet food manufacturers commonly process.
With a capability to process up to 5 tonnes – 12 tonnes per hour, which is dependent on the loading and receiving system , and dimensions and temperature of the raw material, the Ekomex Kbm 1000 stands as a testament to efficient high-volume processing, ensuring minimal downtime. The precision-engineered blades and optimal speed settings contribute to the machine’s efficacy, allowing for a seamless transition from large frozen blocks to smaller, more manageable pieces that comply with downstream processing requirements.
