This weekโ€™s photo is a hammer mill in 3D.

The FEECO hammer mill is designed to reduce dry and semi-moist materials, specifically granulated or pelletized materials, to the product range of minus 4 mesh to plus 20 mesh. Commonly processed materials include aggregates, minerals, ores, and fertilizers.

How do hammers mills work? FEECOโ€™s double rotor hammer mill uses a central rotating shaft, fastened with โ€œhammersโ€ on pivots attached to the shaft. When the shaft spins, the hammers swing and collide with the material, causing it to break into smaller pieces.

The benefit of selecting a FEECO hammer mill include:

  • Simplified maintenance
  • High throughput
  • Non-clogging design
  • Easy access
  • Use of a cracking action instead of grinding or pulverizing

Contact FEECO today to see if the hammer mill is right for your size reduction requirements.
