ACTA 2-screw crusher for tiles

ACTA 2- screw crusher for celing tiles manufactured for a customer in the building material industry. This ACTA crusher for ceiling tiles recycling, are designed in a close cooperation with the client and their factory designers. This ACTA are made with a custom-made input hopper and outlet screw.

What is an ACTA crusher?

An ACTA crusher is a low-speed, high-torque model, which means that the rotors only rotate with an average of 12 rpm. On the contrary, it puts out around 15.000 Nm on each rotor shaft. This gives a very reliable, strong, and long life-time machinery, with a low maintenance level in return.

How does an ACTA crusher work?

The process of an ACTA is always depending on the material you feed into it. The input material itself, are the only thing that makes the grinding and separation effect, as the screws never touch or interlock with each other. This has a clear benefit, when looking at maintenance and lifetime of the machine. The input material will pre-break and be crushed by the screw rotors and simultaneously make a form for kneading effect, while moved around inside the hopper bin of the ACTA. For this specific ACTA, the customer had several requirements for the final design, to fit perfectly into their production setup and demands. Following has been customized:

• Floor stand with a precise given height, so the overall height of the complete setup would fit the customers loading system.
• Filler hopper with 3 leaning sides and 1 vertical, for specific loading point and installation setup.
• A special and rather flat outlet casing, to incapsulate and protect against dust and debris from the rotating knifes in the outlet holes.
• An angled outlet screw conveyor, with required slope and specific length, so output drop into the next screw conveyor on site.
• A large filler hopper “hood” to again incapsulate dust and debris, where a filtration suction system will be installed on top.

Overall a very customized build, which shows the capabilities of our technical department and highly skilled workers in our production.

ACTA 2‑Screw Crusher for Tiles

1. What materials can the ACTA 2‑screw crusher handle?

The crusher is designed primarily for tiles, ceramics, and similar brittle materials. Its robust screw system ensures efficient breaking and consistent output size.

2. How does the 2‑screw crushing system work?

It uses two counter‑rotating screws that pull material inward and crush it through continuous pressure and mechanical force, ensuring steady throughput and minimal blockages.

3. Is the crusher suitable for integration into existing production lines?

Yes. The ACTA crusher is built for industrial environments and can be integrated into automated or semi‑automated workflows, depending on your setup and capacity needs.

4. What maintenance is required for an ACTA crusher?

Routine inspection of screws, bearings, and wear plates is recommended. Regular lubrication and timely replacement of worn parts help maintain optimal performance and extend machine lifespan.
