At our workshop in Hem, we’ve initiated the assembly of a rosin crusher for DIC – Fine Chemicals.

This rosin crusher is specifically engineered to extract crystallized pine resin from steel drums. The extracted resin serves as a raw material for products such as adhesives and coatings. After extraction from the drum, the resin is broken down into small pieces to facilitate faster melting.

The preparation and engineering phase was extensive due to a complete redesign of the machine. This new version includes a metal shredder to significantly reduce the volume of tin waste. Moreover, the installation complies with Atex standards, ensuring that the machine can operate safely in environments prone to explosions, such as those with flammable dust clouds or vapors.

The initial units are designed to automate the feeding of drums into the crusher. We plan to deliver the installation to our client’s factory in Dahej, India, in August.
