Uniform crushing of soft to medium-hard materials
The HAZEMAG Feeder Breaker HFB combines a chain conveyor and a crushing roll in one compact unit. Feed material is loaded onto the integrated chain conveyor and transported horizontally beneath the rotating crushing roll. The round-shank picks mounted on the roll then crush the material in a controlled manner.
Characteristic of the HFB is the horizontal material flow without deflection: the material is taken over directly and continuously conveyed onwards. The variable conveyor speed and the height-adjustable crushing roll allow the final grain size to be flexibly adjusted. PLC-controlled monitoring enables fully automatic, stable operation even with varying material batches.
A key advantage of the HFB lies in the flexible adjustment of the end product during ongoing operation. Via the height-adjustable crushing roll and the variable conveyor speed, the grain size can be precisely adapted to changing requirements. Supplemented by PLC-controlled monitoring, this creates a high-performance, compact and mobile solution for demanding operating conditions.

Application Range of the FEEDER BREAKER HFB
The Feeder Breaker HFB by HAZEMAG is used wherever soft to medium-hard material needs to be crushed uniformly and with low fines generation. Typical fields of application are mining, industrial processing plants as well as storage and transfer facilities with continuous material flow.
The combination of chain conveyor and crushing roll enables direct material intake and further processing without additional transfer points. This makes the HFB particularly suitable for applications where a uniform, stable process is required. The compact design also allows the HFB to be used in confined spaces, such as underground mining.
Typical Materials
- Potash and rock salt
- Gypsum and chalk
- Coal
- Petroleum coke
Industries:
- Surface and underground mining
- Bulk materials and process industries
- Storage and transfer facilities
- Industrial processing plants with continuous material flow

Questions and Answers on the HAZEMAG FEEDER BREAKER HFB
A Feeder Breaker crushes material beneath a rotating crushing roll, which picks up the feed material on a chain conveyor and crushes it in a controlled manner. The horizontal material flow without deflection ensures a uniform, stable process.
The HFB combines a chain conveyor and roller crusher in one unit, enabling direct material flow from the feed point through to further processing. Unlike conventional roller crushers, material deflection is eliminated, which simplifies and stabilises the process.
The HFB is designed for thickly compacted, dense material. Typical materials include potash and rock salt, gypsum, chalk, coal and petroleum coke.
The Feeder Breaker is used in surface and underground mining, in the bulk material and process industry as well as in storage and transfer facilities – wherever continuous material flow and low fines generation are required.
The final product size is influenced by the design and arrangement of the picks on the crushing roll and by the conveyor scrapers. It can be adjusted by changing the gap between the height-adjustable crushing roll and the conveyor floor plate, as well as the speed of the chain conveyor.
