Hammer mill for crushing wheat and corn in the ethanol production process

A crusher is a mechanism for crushing raw materials using hammer or armor blows in a crushing chamber. A special feature of hammer crushers is the hinged attachment of the striker or hammer to the shaft. This feature of the hammer crusher increases the service life of the crusher and allows for an increase in the productivity of the crusher. This is the main difference between hammer crushers and rotary crushers, which are designed for rigid attachment to the rotor.

Depending on the model and size, crushers can crush a wide range of materials, from quarry rock to industrial waste.

The advantages of hammer crushing are as follows:

• high performance with relatively low power consumption;
• adaptability to different types of crushed material, taking into account the characteristics of the crusher;
• simple and compact design;
• the ability to adjust the degree of crushing of the material;
• low operating costs;
• quick replacement of sieves and hammers;
• possibility of additional equipment using cyclones;
• durability;
• high reliability and safety.
