Hammermills & Size Reduction Processing Equipment

Since 1981, Blue Tech has been an industry-recognized leader in the development and manufacture of standard and custom-designed size reduction processing equipment. Blue Tech produces an extensive variety of size reduction equipment, including Air Purge Classifier Mills (APCMs), shredders, crushers, as well as hammermills. The hammermills manufactured by Blue Tech are available in horsepower ranges from ¼ horsepower to 250 horsepower, depending on the client's application and requirements. Blue Tech hammermills are constructed of rugged fabricated steel or stainless steel bodies, for extended and reliable life and performance.

A hammermill machine is used to shred, grind and crush material into fine particles. The basic components of a hammermill are:

A delivery device
Hammers
Rods
Rotor
Screen
Take away system/chute

The hammermill is basically a steel drum with a horizontal or vertical "X-shaped" rotor that has a series of hammers mounted on it. The hammers swing at high speeds on the ends of the rotor, shredding the material into fine particles, which then fall through the screen (either air-assisted or by gravity feed). The size of the screen mesh ensures the shredded material particles are a certain dimension.

All Blue Tech hammermill hammers are constructed of light or heavy forged steel, or light forged stainless steel, depending on the customer's specifications.

Advantages of hammermill machines include:

Easy to use – no extensive training required
Able to shred, grind and crush to a wide range of particle sizes
Can be used for a wide variety of materials
Minimal and easy maintenance
Cheaper than comparable machines, such as a roller mill
Hammermill particles will be typically spherical in size
Materials can be shredded or ground at a high rate

Hammermill units can be used to grind and shred many materials, such as:

Plastics
Rubber
Sugar
Herbs & Spices
Corn Starch
Pharmaceuticals
Cattle Feed
Bakery & Confectionary Ingredients
Woodchips
Minerals
Chemicals
