Engineering high-performance coconut processing machinery that drives efficiency, scalability, and sustainability for businesses across the globe.
Cibus Industries’ Coconut Lump Breaker is engineered to tackle one of the most persistent bottlenecks in coconut processing - breaking down compacted coir lumps, shell clusters, and hardened waste into uniformly sized fragments without generating excessive fines. Our design leverages high-torque, variable-speed flail rotors, adjustable impact plates, and vibration-isolating mounts to deliver controlled size reduction at throughputs up to 2 tonnes per hour. Each breaker is meticulously configured for your feed material characteristics - lump density, moisture content, and initial particle size distribution - enabling precise tuning of rotor speed, rotor-to-anvil clearance, and feeding rate to optimize energy consumption and minimize material degradation. The robust, food-grade stainless-steel construction, combined with quick-access safety hatches and hygienic seals, ensures that both processed shell fragments and byproduct fibers remain free from contamination, while facilitating efficient clean-in-place (CIP) cycles.
“At Cibus, lump breaking is more than mechanical force - it’s about preserving material integrity, reducing dust, and streamlining downstream milling and extraction.”
In comprehensive quality trials, we subject the lump breaker to challenging real-world conditions, processing a variety of coconut byproduct batches - from freshly peeled husk clumps to semi-dried coir blocks. We record detailed metrics on output particle-size distribution, quantifying the percentage of fragments within target size ranges (±5 mm tolerance) and tracking fines generation below 1 mm. Simultaneously, we monitor throughput stability, rotor power draw, and frame vibration under continuous, multi-shift operations. Sanitary performance is validated through CIP cycle time trials, measuring wash-water penetration, residual fiber retention, and quick-release latch functionality. Noise and dust emissions are assessed against industry standards, ensuring compliance with occupational health regulations. These real-world validations confirm that Cibus Lump Breakers achieve a 40% reduction in downtime compared to batch-style crushers, maintain consistent fragment size distribution, and enable seamless integration into fully automated extraction lines.
In addition to its robust size-reduction capabilities, the Coconut Lump Breaker incorporates an intuitive control interface and precision-adjustment features that simplify operation and maintenance. The variable-speed drive allows seamless tuning of rotor RPM to match changing lump characteristics, while automated feed-rate detection ensures steady throughput without manual intervention. Hygienic design elements - including welded stainless-steel panels, sanitary quick-release hatches, and integrated CIP spray nozzles - facilitate rapid cleaning cycles and minimize contamination risks. Structural vibration isolators and precision-machined bearings reduce noise and mechanical wear, extending component life and cutting unscheduled downtime. Together, these technical advances make the Cibus Coconut Lump Breaker a versatile, reliable solution for transforming raw coconut byproducts into uniform fragments, ready for efficient downstream milling, extraction, or value-added coir applications.
