Fine Crusher

Fine Crusher

The Haarslev Fine Crusher reduces pre-broken meat and poultry by-products to uniform particle sizes of around 13 mm, improving heating efficiency and downstream processing. Parallel counter-rotating shafts fitted with surface-ground, replaceable knives cut material cleanly instead of tearing it. With throughput up to 18 tons/hour and the ability to delump feathers, this rugged machine ensures reliable operation, easy knife changes and consistent product quality.

Value at a glance

Built for
performance

  • 01
    Parallel counter-rotating shafts with replaceable cutting blades deliver clean cutting action rather than tearing, improving overall processing consistency.
  • 02
    Small clearance between knives ensures precise cutting performance and consistent particle size. (Page 2)
  • 03
    Can remove lumps of feathers prior to hydrolysis or wet rendering, improving flow and downstream efficiency.
  • 04
    Heavy-duty motor drives one shaft directly, with gears synchronising both shafts for reliable cutting. (Page 3 image)
  • 05
    Handles up to 18 tons/hour depending on model, with three anvil-gap configurations (23/37 mm, 18/47 mm, 13/65 mm). (Technical table, page 3)
Exchange program

Easy exchange

Fine Crushers are eligible for Haarslev’s Service Exchange Programme, enabling fast replacement with factory-refurbished units or critical components. This reduces downtime, restores cutting efficiency and extends machine life while lowering cost compared to major rebuilds.
