Method of Operation
Installation of the
hammermill is on the production floor or in a
pit. Feeding is done manually. An infeed chute
for belt conveyor feeding is available. Material
is size reduced by impact with fast rotating,
free swinging type hammers. A screen holds
material inside the grinding chamber, as long as
it is too coarse. Fine material gets discharged
through the screen into a pneumatic discharge
system. Bottom discharge onto a mechanical
conveyor or into a bin is available.
An open rotor with
hammers having a thickness of 8 mm is standard.
Bearings are outboard and no grease can enter
the grinding chamber. Hammers come in sets of
equal weight.
The screen has a
maximum open area for maximum capacity. The
standard hole size of the screen is 10 mm (
3/8"). Other screen sizes are available. |
