Industrial hammer mills are essential tools in wood recycling plants and forest farms, efficiently crushing wood waste, branches, logs, and scraps into chips or sawdust. These versatile machines come in electric and diesel-powered models, offering capacities over one ton per hour.
With automated conveyor systems, production can reach 4-6 tons per hour. The processed output serves various industries, including papermaking, fungal cultivation, and wood pellet production, making these hammer mills ideal for both large-scale operations and sustainable wood resource management.
Raw materials for processing with hammer mill crusher
When processing with a hammer mill crusher, a variety of biomass raw materials can be utilized. This industrial equipment is adept at quickly transforming wood scraps into fine flakes, making it a vital tool in wood recycling operations.
Common raw materials for hammer mill processing include:
- Wood scraps. These can include off-cuts and remnants from wood processing industries.
- Logs and branches. Whole or partially processed logs and branches can be efficiently reduced in size.
- Coconut shells. A tough material that can be easily shredded for further applications.
- Corn cobs. These are processed into smaller particles, useful in various industrial applications.
- Other biomass materials. Includes agricultural residues and similar organic waste.
It’s important to note that the efficiency of the hammer crusher improves significantly with smaller feed sizes, leading to greater output and enhanced production efficiency.
By selecting the right raw materials and adjusting the feed size, operators can maximize the benefits of their hammer mill crusher in wood recycling processes.
Final products of the hammer wood crusher
The primary output of the hammer wood mill is sawdust. Depending on customer requirements, sawdust can be produced in varying degrees of fineness.
Typically, the fineness of the sawdust ranges from 2mm to 3cm. This versatility allows users to customize the final product to meet specific application needs.
Key advantages of wood hammer crusher
- Efficient wood crushing. Capable of reducing wood into particles or sawdust with an efficiency of 0.6 to 5 tons per hour, essential for applications like wood pellets and biomass energy.
- Versatile material handling. Designed to process various wood materials, including logs, branches, and pallets, accommodating a wide range of wood processing needs.
- Reduced wood waste. Effectively breaks down wood into uniform pieces, helping industries maximize resource utilization and minimize environmental impact, contributing to a reduction in waste by up to 30%.
- High production capacity. Engineered for industrial-scale operations, these machines can handle large volumes of wood, with some models achieving production rates of 4 to 6 tons per hour.
- Adjustable output size. Features adjustable screens that allow users to control the particle size, producing different sizes of wood chips or sawdust, suitable for various applications like biomass fuel or animal bedding.
Structure of the industrial hammer mills for wood crushing
The structure of industrial hammer wood mills is designed for enhanced efficiency and durability compared to small wood mills.
Key components include:
- Shell. The robust outer casing that houses all components.
- Motor or diesel engine. Powers the crushing mechanism.
- Fan (Optional). Aids in cooling and material expulsion.
- Pulley. Connects the motor to the crushing system.
- Bearing. Ensures smooth operation and reduces friction.
- Hammers (Blades). The main crushing elements, typically made from durable materials.
- Inner lining board. Protects the interior surfaces from wear.
- Frame (Optional). Provides additional stability and support.
These components work together to ensure high processing efficiency and extended machine lifespan, making industrial hammer wood mills ideal for large-scale wood processing operations.
Power system of hammer wood crusher
The power system of the hammer wood shredder usually adopts an electric drive or a diesel engine drive.
Among them, the motors equipped with the hammer wood shredder are all pure copper motors, which meet international quality standards and can ensure safe use.
The diesel-driven wood shredder is suitable for fieldwork, has sufficient power, is convenient to move, and has a very low failure rate.
Spare parts of wood hammer crusher
The spare parts of the wood crushing equipment mainly include crushing hammers, lining boards, screens, etc.
Inner liners
The inner liner is located inside the rear wall of the crushing chamber of the machine, which can protect the machine body from abrasion.
It is mainly made of cast steel with a thickness of 18-20mm, which is strong and wear-resistant.
Crushing hammers
The number of hammers in the hammer mill varies with different machine models. The thickness of the hammer is about 8mm.
The number of hammers for conventional hammer mills is 72, and the number of hammers for large hammer crushers is up to 90.
The crushing hammer is an important part of the wood crusher. It can break wood chips into sawdust during high-speed operation.
Sieving screens
The screen of the wood shredder is mainly used to screen the sawdust crushed by the hammer. It can keep wood chips larger than the diameter of the screen hole in the crushing bin to continue crushing.
The thickness of the screen is about 6mm. Its screen hole diameter can be customized according to different customer needs.
How does the hammer wood crusher work?
The hammer wood crusher operates through a combination of continuous impact and friction generated by high-speed rotating hammers.
Motor activation
The motor drives the turntable and hammers, ensuring they move in sync.
Material feeding
Raw materials, such as wood scraps and straws, enter the feed port.
Crushing process
As the hammers rotate, they impact the materials, rapidly breaking them down into sawdust.
Direct processing
Materials are crushed directly within the machine’s cavity through the hammering action.
This efficient mechanism allows for quick and effective processing of various biomass materials, making the hammer wood crusher a valuable tool in wood recycling and biomass energy production.
Complete sawdust processing plant design
When processing high-quality wood chips on a large scale, only a hammer mill cannot work independently. Usually, many wood processing plants use automatic conveying equipment and dust removal equipment when using hammer mills.
Therefore, our factory has also designed various sawdust processing plants according to different customer needs. The output of the sawdust production line is generally between 500kg/h and 5t/h. We can customize a specific production plan according to the customer’s worksite and budget.
Customer case of the industrial hammer wood crusher
This large wood shredder is very suitable for large and medium-sized wood processing factories, such as furniture factories, forest farms, power plants, etc.
We have exported the hammer mill crusher many times to foreign countries, such as Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Chile, Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Nigeria, South Africa, Somalia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, etc.
