Pharmaceutical Crushers and Delumpers
Coarse Size Reduction from Blocks to Powder. Frewitt CC, DW, DM, and PFC Series.
Overview
Compacted blocks, caked powders, and oversized agglomerates coming out of dryers, reactors, and IBCs need to be broken down before downstream milling can begin. Frewitt offers a range of crushers and delumpers spanning from compact inline modules to heavy-duty production machines handling up to 20,000 kg/h.
The CC-2 is a compact crusher available as a standalone module (110 kg) or complete machine (280 kg). It handles input up to 150 mm at throughputs from 10 to 8,000 kg/h. The crushing zone covers the entire discharge surface, eliminating dead zones where material can accumulate. An integrated bridge-breaker is standard.
The CC-3 and CC-6 are convertible units that operate as crushers (3 to 15 cm input, output 1 to 2 cm) and then convert to oscillating sieve mills for fine calibration down to 250 microns. Intelligent auto-reverse detects rotor blockage and reverses before overload, keeping the line running without operator intervention. Two machines in one footprint.
For the largest inputs, the DW-250 lump breaker reduces 60 cm blocks to 250 microns in a single step at up to 11,000 kg/h. The PFC-1200 is the heavy-duty production crusher, accepting inputs up to 80 cm at 20,000 kg/h. The EasyMill DM-200 handles lumps up to 60 cm at 7,000 kg/h on the lighter EasyMill platform.

Key Features
Full Discharge Coverage
The CC-2 and PFC-1200 crushing zones cover the entire discharge surface. No dead zones where material can accumulate or bypass the crushing action. Unique on the market.
Single-Step Lump Breaking
The DW-250 reduces 60 cm blocks to 250 microns in one pass. No intermediate crushing step, no separate downstream mill. One machine replaces two.
Convertible Crusher/Mill
The CC-3 and CC-6 operate as crushers (output 1 to 2 cm) then convert to oscillating sieve mills (output 250 microns) by swapping tooling. Two processes, one footprint.
Intelligent Auto-Reverse
The CC-3/CC-6 detects rotor blockage and automatically reverses before amperage overload. Continuous operation without shutdown or operator intervention.
Integrated Bridge-Breaker
Standard on the CC-2 and PFC-1200. Prevents material hang-up in the feed zone, ensuring consistent flow even with cohesive or sticky powders.
Module or Complete Machine
The CC-2 and PFC-1200 are available as compact inline modules for integration into existing lines, or as complete standalone machines with frame and controls.
