A delumper includes a housing defining a chamber in which edible material is received. The housing includes a screen having a plurality of holes and a plurality of inwardly extending fingers. The holes are sized such that edible material of a first diameter is capable of passing through the holes and edible material of a second, larger diameter is incapable of passing through the holes. The fingers are arranged in at least a first row, and the first row is located at or between a 5:00 position and a 7:30 position. The delumper further includes a rotatable shaft including a plurality of paddles spaced along a length of the shaft. When the shaft rotates, each of the paddles passes between adjacent fingers of the first row such that edible material located within the chamber is forced into contact with the fingers and cleaved by the paddles.
