disintegrator
Breaks things apart
A disintegrator is a device or agent that breaks something into fragments or causes it to fall apart.
The word appears most often in science fiction, where a disintegrator ray or disintegrator gun reduces targets to atoms or dust: The alien raised his disintegrator.
In industrial contexts, disintegrators are machines that grind or pulverize materials.
