Creper

For continuous slabs of coagula derived from the conventional tanks, these are best subjected to one pass through a creper and to a granulator or a creper-hammermill for size reduction.

It is common practice to mount a creper directly above the hammermill (creper hammermill) to reduce the power requirements.

The coagulum is pressed between rollers to form crepes, mashed into small pieces by a hammer mill and finally into crumbs by an extruder. An alternative method of making crumb is to add incompatible oil to coagulated latex and then feed it through a creper for transformation into crumbs.
