The maximum feed size for a hammer mill can vary depending on several factors.
Larger mills are generally capable of handling larger feed sizes compared to smaller ones.
For mills with diameters ranging from 200-300 mm, the maximum feed size is typically around 1.5 mm.
Smaller mills will require correspondingly smaller feed sizes.
What is the maximum feed size for a hammer mill? (4 Key Factors to Consider)
1. Mill Size and Diameter
The size of the hammer mill directly influences the maximum feed size it can handle.
Larger mills can accommodate larger feed sizes, while smaller mills require smaller feed sizes.
2. Feed Size and End Product Fineness
The feed size is a critical factor that affects the fineness of the end product.
Several operational and physical factors influence the end product's fineness, including feed rate, nozzle size, nozzle pressure, nozzle angle, airflow rate, feed particle size, chamber diameter and width, and product outlet diameter.
While these variables can be adjusted during operation, it is more common to vary only the feed rate to achieve the desired particle-size distribution.
3. Laboratory-Scale Hammer Mills
Laboratory-scale hammer mills are designed for small production, sampling, and lab testing.
These mills are versatile and can reduce various materials to a fine granular or powder consistency.
The maximum feed size for these mills would be smaller than for larger, industrial-scale hammer mills, but specific details would depend on the individual model and its specifications.
4. Operational Adjustments
Adjustments to operational and physical variables can be made to achieve the desired particle-size distribution.
These adjustments are crucial for optimizing the performance of the hammer mill.
