The hammer mill crusher is widely used in agriculture, feed processing, biomass energy, chemical industries, and other fields. It is designed to crush various raw materials (e.g., grains, straw, wood chips, herbal medicines) into desired particle sizes. A complete hammer mill production line typically consists of multiple components. Below is a detailed introduction to its core equipment and auxiliary systems:
I. Core Equipment Components
1. Hammer Mill (Main Unit)
Function: Crushes materials via high-speed rotating hammer blades through impact and shear forces.
Structure:
Rotor: Core component with mounted hammers; high rotational speed (typically 1,500–4,000 rpm).
Screen Mesh: Controls output particle size (selectable aperture: 1–10 mm).
Hammer Blades: Replaceable wear-resistant parts, usually made of high-manganese steel or alloy steel.
Inlet & Outlet: Connects to feeding and discharge systems.
2. Feeding System
Types:
Screw Feeder: Suitable for low-fluidity materials (e.g., wood chips, straw).
Belt Conveyor: Ideal for granular materials (e.g., grains).
Vibratory Feeder: Ensures uniform feeding and prevents blockages.
Purpose: Controls feeding speed and uniformity to avoid overloading the main unit.
3. Dust Collection System
Components:
Cyclone Separator: Pre-separates dust from crushed materials.
Pulse Bag Filter: Efficiently captures fine dust to meet environmental standards.
Fan: Generates negative airflow to assist material transport and dust removal.
Importance: Reduces dust pollution and improves workplace safety.
4. Electrical Control System
Functions:
Controls startup/shutdown and synchronization of the main unit, feeders, and dust removal.
Monitors parameters (current, temperature) for overload protection.
Configuration: PLC control cabinet, frequency converter (adjusts feed speed and fineness).
5. Discharge & Conveying System
Equipment:
Screw Conveyor: Enclosed transport to prevent dust leakage.
Pneumatic Conveying System: Suitable for long-distance or vertical transport.
Packaging Machine: Directly packs finished products.
II. Auxiliary Equipment (Optional Based on Needs)
Preprocessing Equipment:
Screening Machine: Removes impurities (e.g., stones, metals).
Dryer: Reduces moisture content (for high-humidity materials).
Coarse Crusher: Pre-crushes large materials (e.g., wood blocks, straw).
Grading Screen:
Classifies crushed materials by particle size; returns oversized particles for re-crushing.
Cooling System:
Prevents material agglomeration for high-output or heat-sensitive materials (e.g., plastics, chemicals).
Automated Packaging System:
Auto-weighing, bagging, and sealing to enhance efficiency.
III. Selection & Configuration Recommendations
Material Properties:
Hardness: Use alloy hammers or specialized rotor designs for hard materials.
Moisture: Add drying steps for high-moisture materials.
Fiber Content: Reinforce screen durability for fibrous materials (e.g., straw).
Capacity Requirements:
Small-scale (100–500 kg/h): For family farms or labs.
Medium-scale (1–5 tons/h): Common in feed mills.
Large-scale (10+ tons/h): Industrial production lines.
Fineness Requirements:
Coarse Crushing (2–5 mm): Use large-aperture screens to reduce energy consumption.
Fine Crushing (0.1–1 mm): Requires multi-stage grading or secondary crushing.
Energy Efficiency & Environmental Compliance:
Use variable-frequency motors to lower energy use.
Equip high-efficiency dust removal systems to meet emission standards.
