Hammer Mill Manufacturers

Hammer mill is a type of a shredder. It is used to reduce the size of nonuniform bulk density waste into uniform bulk density of smaller size. A hammer mill consists of a central rotor or shaft with radial arms protruding from the rotor circumference, all mounted in a heavy-duty cylindrical housing. The hammers may be fixed or free swinging. A hammer mill is classified as horizontal or vertical, based on the orientation of its rotor. Waste is fed into the hammer mill through the top of housing. It is struck by the hammers. The hammers are moving with such speed that most of the size reduction is accomplished under the initial impact. Breaker bars are set along the inside of the housing to reduce the clearance between the hammers and the walls of the housing, by reducing the clearance. Waste gets pinched between the breaker bars and the hammers. This pinching action crushes and shears the waste into smaller particles. A reduction chute at the top of the housing provides a means for hard to shred items to escape.
