What is it?
The hammer mill is used to reduce products of medium to heavy mass by striking the material with tilted hammers. The final particle size can go from medium (20mm) to fine (200µ).
Working principle
Pendular hammers strike the product against a shield. They are mounted on a medium - or high speed - rotor ; enabling the product to be suctioned by the mill. The product then flattens against a perforated screen. Perforations are based on the particle size.
Application
Depending on its configuration, the hammer mill can treat a vast range of products: soft products, products with low/average or heavy mass, adhesive or abrasive ones, and many others in the following fields:
