DELUMPER
InoxFlow delumpers deliver reliable, hygienic size reduction and consistent flow for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical processing lines.
The delumper’s rotor and screen are precision-machined to fine, adjustable clearances, breaking clumps to a consistent particle size without generating excess fines or heat. A fully welded, crevice-free housing and quick-release, tool-less disassembly mean every internal surface is reachable for inspection and cleaning — no dead zones for product to hide in, and no gaskets or seams to harbor bacteria between batches.

machined, not cast
difference you can measure
Cast valves are formed by pouring molten metal into a mold, leaving microscopic voids beneath the surface. InoxFlow valves are CNC-machined from solid bar stock, which means:
- No internal porosity — nothing for product or bacteria to lodge in
- Tighter tolerances for a more consistent, repeatable seal
- Smoother internal surfaces for faster, more thorough clean-in-place cycles
- Longer service life under repeated actuation and wash-down
- European Stainless Steel
- No Duties - Ever
- Short Lead Time

Beyond Sanitary: built to your application
Need a non-sanitary or specialty configuration? InoxFlow valves are built to order and adapt well beyond hygienic processing. Through tailored material, seal, and finish selection, the same machined-valve platform handles demanding industrial duties — including abrasive media.

FAQ | You ask, we answer
A lumpbreaker — also called a delumper — is an in-line mechanical crusher installed directly in a process pipeline to break up clumped, caked, or agglomerated powder before it reaches downstream equipment. InoxFlow’s hygienic lumpbreaker uses a ball-bearing-mounted rotor spinning against a machined screen to reduce lumps to a consistent particle size, protecting pumps, valves, and packaging lines from blockages in pharmaceutical, food, and bulk-solids processes.
Nothing functionally — “lumpbreaker” and “delumper” describe the same piece of equipment, and the terms are used interchangeably across the pharma, food, and powder-handling industries. Both refer to an in-line device that crushes lumps and agglomerates in a powder or bulk-solid stream so material flows consistently through the rest of the system.
Yes. The lumpbreaker is designed with a clean, dead-space-free body that is fluid-tight from inside to outside, making it fully suitable for Clean-in-Place and Wash-in-Place (CIP/WIP) processes. All product contact surfaces are 316L stainless steel, mirror polished, and FDA compliant, and the unit can also be stripped down quickly for manual cleaning when required.
The lumpbreaker is available as a standard line from DN200 (8″) to DN300 (12″), with additional sizes from DN150 to DN400 available on request. It connects in-line via Tri-clamp (to ASME/BPE, BS4825-3, or DIN 32676 standards), weld-ends, the Oyster™ bayonet docking system, BFM flange, or wafer-style with locating lugs for flange-to-flange installation. Custom connection types can be supplied to match an existing host system.
Yes — an ATEX-rated version is available, certified II 2GD c IIB T4/T135°C under Directive 2014/34/CE for use in classified hazardous zones. All primary wetted components (rotor, housing/screen, and spindle) are machined from SS316L or C-22, with SS304 covers and motor support, A2 ball bearings, and EPDM dynamic o-rings. The rotor-to-screen gap can be customized to suit the product, and electropolish or passivation finishes are available as options.
