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.

In the French company Brant-Industrie, Domas Systems has found a good partner for the French-speaking region. Starting this year, customers in France and Wallonia, Belgium, can also purchase our press-out unit and other machinery for the coatings industry through Brant-Industrie. Brant-Industrie has years of experience in the chemical industry, enabling them to provide valuable guidance to customers regarding choices among various models of press-out units.

At the plant of our client Unipro, Domas has yielded a resin-crushing machine. Goal of the machine is to provide a clean and safe working environment, so an environment without rosin dust. The resin crusher machine we have develloped meets this requirement perfectly. The unit is completely closed, and several actions are taken to prevent the operator from inhaling rosin dust.

Offcourse the installation still crushes rosin barrels. The rosin is supplied in steel barrels, which are placed in the press. The resin crusher compresses the barrel onto the grid. The barrels opens and the resin falls through the grid. Under the grid a crusher is situated, to minimize the lumps into pieces of a few centimeters. Then, the crushed resin is conveyed by screw jacks to the process vessels.
