Pellet Production Plant-Hammer Mill

Hammer mill Raw Material: Wood chips, straw, grasses and material with a diameter less than 1 inch.

For the pellet production plant, if the diameter of the raw material is less than 1 inch, the material could be processed directly into a hammer mill, or as a finishing mill for material that has already passed through a chipper/shredder. Through the process of pellet production plant, a hammer mill comprises of many small flailing hammer blades that through attrition reduce particle size.

Hammer mills run at speeds ranging from 3000RPM to over 8000RPM. Particle size is dictated through the size of holes in the screen, these can range from as little as 1mm up to 10mm and more. As hammer mills have a large range of screens to produce various particle sizes they are the most popular choice in pellet production plants.

Pellet Production Plant-Size Reduction Conclusions

The diameter of the raw material will influence the choice of chippers, shredder and hammer mills. Hammer mills are normally the most suitable for size reduction in the pellet production plant; however there is the limitation on the size of the input material.
