The Cake Buster is designed to break up compressed cakes or cheeses (up to a diameter of 1.3m and approximately 100kg) which have been discharged from a water extraction press, thereby eliminating the costly tumble operation when this is used primarily for the breaking up of such items.
The cake or cheese is received by the Cake Buster direct from an overhead conveyor and directed into rotating zinc-plated star shaped breaking rollers. The processed work can be discharged into a suitable laundry truck positioned below or onto purpose built conveyors for delivery to an H J Weir Autoprep where they can be can be separated further.
The Cake Buster is a self-contained, freestanding machine that can be located at the most convenient point in the production line and simply connected to electricity and compressed air.
