Hi everyone.

is there such a thing as a larger size mixer for blitzing larger quantities of bread?

Something that can handle half loaf-full loaf at a time would be ideal.

There is but not cheap at all and designed for kilos at a time
Cheapest I have ever seen is around 1800+ vat

Might be better looking at something like a garden shredder
Or a larger food processor

Thinking outside the box
Grass strimmer in a bucket with a lid.

yeah £1800+vat is a little salty

I would look on eBay for a couple of food processors, get them running at the same time job done

If your only doing up to a max of one full loaf and not loads of full loafs one after an other then a Korda large Krusher will do it. I do it often when I get an old loaf and I use my Krusher it to turn it into bird food for the bird table. It lasts the blackbirds, Robins etc ages on the table rather than bits and all the bigger birds clean up in minutes.

The only thing and it probably applies to an industrail size machine is to dry the bread a bit otherwise it just clogs up.

In fact, just realized what you need as our Lass makes bread crumbs for cooking and I bought myself one about 30 years ago before I met her for the same thing and grinding down dog biscuits for boilies etc from a second hand shop, a "Food Processor", grinds it down in no time. Probably a full loaf in less than 5 minutes.

I was going to say a ordinary food processor would easily take half slices and do it in no time but I guess it depends on how much you're doing. From a previous hobby have you considered a drill powered scratter? Not expensive, but not cheap and I'm sure you could improvise one, if it can cope with apples I can't see bread being much of a problem, and it'd do larger amounts, see here

How about one of these?

Commercial Processor

Might take a while to get a return on investment - looks like it could do a loaf at a time easy!

or you could get a trio of Argos specials for way less money - blitz till they blow up and just replace as necessary

What about a strimmer and use the plastic blades instead of the nylon 👍👎

Going to try the strimmer option with blades fitted as I already have them and if no joy will try scratter blade on drill and see how it goes

thanks everyone
