    Hammer Mill

    A hammer mill works by rapidly hitting materials with little hammers attached to a rotating shaft to crush aggregate into smaller pieces. It consists of a crushing chamber, hammers, rotating shaft, feed and discharge screens, and plates. Material is fed into the top and struck by hammers, then crushed through collisions with the chamber walls, other particles, and screen, with the screen size controlling the product size. Product size also depends on shaft speed and number of hammers. Screenless hammer mills use airflow instead of screens. Applications include milling grain, shredding cars and waste, and crushing rocks.

    Hammer Mill:
    It is a mill whose purpose is to shred or crush
    aggregate material into smaller pieces by the repeated blows of
    little hammers
    The Hammer mill can be used as Primary, Secondary and Tertiary
    Crushers. Hammer mills are of different sizes starting from the one
    utilizing household current to the one that utilizes up to 3.5 MW.

    Principle:
    Hammer mills work on the principle that most materials
    will crush, shatter, or pulverize upon impact.

    Construction:
    It consists of the following main parts,

     Crushing Chamber
     Hammers (Fixed or swinging)
     Rotating Shaft
     Feed and Discharge(Screen)
     Plates

    Working:
    Feed is entered from top of the mill by gravity. The
    material is struck by the hammers which are attached to the shaft
    which rotates with high speed. The material is crushed by the hammer
    impacts, collisions with the wall and particle to particle collisions.
    The discharge is perforated screen through which the size of the
    product is controlled.

    Factors Affecting Product Size:


    The product of a Hammer Mill
    mainly depends mainly upon the Speed of Rotating Shaft and also on
    the Size of the Screen but it also depends on the number of Hammer
    used in the particular Hammer Mill.

    Screen-less Hammers:
    In areas where the replacement or
    repairing of the damaged screen is not possible, Screen less Hammer
    mills are used. They instead of using screens use flow to separate the
    smaller and larger particles. These Hammer mills are more energy
    efficient and are 25% cheaper.

    Applications:
    It has a number of applications a few of which are,

     A farm machine, which mills grain into coarse flour to be fed


    to livestock.

     Shredding scrap automobiles.

     Shredding yard and garden waste.

     Crushing large rocks.
