Competitive Grind
Mill Technology hammer mills crush, grind and pulverize in various products. Heavy-Duty mills are used to breakdown hard, lumpy, or bulky materials.
The materials can be broken down into various sizes.
Mill Technology - Hammer Mill process:
• Material is fed into the mill’s chamber through the feed chute by gravity.
• The material is struck by ganged hammers which are attached to a shaft that rotates at high speed inside the mill’s grinding chamber.
• The material is crushed or shattered by a combination of repeated hammer impacts, collisions with the walls of the grinding chamber, and particle on particle impacts.
• Perforated metal screens or bar grates covering the discharge opening of the mill retain coarse material for further grinding, while allowing properly sized materials to pass as finished product.
Mill Technology - Hammer Mill Finished Particle Sizes:
• Varying the screen size, shaft speed or hammer configuration can dramatically alter the finished particle size of the material being processed.
• Fast shaft speed, small screen and large number of hammers equal a much fine end product
• Slower shaft speed, larger screen, fewer hammers equals a coarse product.
• Each of these components can be changed either individually or in combination to produce the exact desired finished particle size.
