Hammer mill is one of the machines used in size reduction. Hammer mills reduce particle size by breaking due to the impact of the hammers, shearing by the edge of the hammers and screen, and collision among the product and in between the product and machine. The impact is the primary force to reduce particle size in a hammer mill.

Abstract. In hammer mills, the grinding process consists of hitting the material by hammers, articulated on a rotor. It is important, however, that the percussions applied to the hammer are not transmitted to the articulation. The position of the hammer articulation should be determined so that the percussion given by the collision with the ...
