Summary

The Hammer Mill is widely used for coarse/medium grinding of minerals, foodstuffs, fertilizers, and chemicals. Raw materials as big as a few tens of mm are ground to an average particle size of roughly 0.5-2mm by the impact generated from the swing hammers traveling at circumferential speeds of 40-50m/s. The machine is also used often before the fine grinding process to increase capacity and protect the fine grinding machine from wearing.

• When used as a grinding machine to powderize small lumps of materials, the Hammer Mill has a high capacity and only needs minimal auxiliary facilities, making it a very efficient machine.
• Has a durable and simple structure.
• Parts where wearing could take place can be easily replaced and the running cost is low.
• Product sizes can be easily adjusted by exchanging the screens/grates through the side cover.
• The pillow block and main body are separately structured so the machine can be designed to withstand high temperatures (a few hundred degrees Celsius)
• Depending on the application and raw material, the machine can be installed with grates for coarse grinding and wear protection or with screens for easy adjustment of product sizes when grinding relatively soft materials.
• Besides the standard T type Hammer, the machine can be fitted with other hammer types depending on the customer’s preference such as the low cost plate hammer, knife hammer for reducing generation of fines, and pointed hammer for grinding sheet materials. (Refer to Fig.3)
