5. Selecting the Right Equipment

Hammer mill size is determined by the material, required particle size, production rate, and other application-specific requirements. There is no single mill size that is appropriate for every material or throughput requirement. Schutte Hammermill uses application information and, when appropriate, material testing to determine the appropriate equipment size and configuration.

The right hammer mill depends on the material being processed, required finished particle size, desired production rate, feed characteristics, and downstream process. Other considerations can include moisture, hardness, abrasiveness, feeding method, discharge method, and whether carbon or stainless steel construction is required. Schutte Hammermill custom-configures equipment around the material and production goals of each application.
