Understanding Hammermill Crushers and their role in industry
In this blog, we look at Hammermill Crushers, their uses, and why BJD Crushers' Hammermills are among the best in the industry.
What is a Hammermill Crusher?
Hammermills are essential pieces of equipment in many industries, designed to crush raw materials into manageable sizes, for further processing.
In a Hammermill, material fed into the top of the machine falls directly into the path of the hammers, where it receives a primary reduction in suspension. Secondary impact then occurs in the shatter chamber and against the breaker plate. Final reduction of the material occurs by attrition over the screen bars, where fitted. Any material not reduced to size is recirculated within the mill for further reduction.
When manufactured by BJD Crushers, hammers are made from high-grade cast material or a heat-treated high carbon steel. The machine frames are constructed from cast and fabricated steel and are protected by renewable liners.
Key features of Hammermills
Hammermills offer high reduction ratios, as they can achieve significant size reduction and often produce finely crushed materials suitable for further processing. Features include adjustable breaker plates, which allow operators to modify the output size according to specific requirements.
Where are Hammermill Crushers used?
From limestone, metals, to shale, broken bricks, and plastics, we outline the wide range of applications of Hammermills: 
One of their main applications is in the quarrying industry, where Hammermills are primarily used for crushing rocks and aggregates. They efficiently reduce large boulders into smaller, usable sizes for construction and other applications. They are also used for size reduction of grog, clay, shale, and broken bricks and as secondary crushers for materials such as limestone, barytes, bauxite, borax, nitrates, salt, and kaolin.
In the mining sector, Hammermills play a crucial role, where they are used to crush ore and other materials. This process is essential for extracting valuable minerals and metals. In coal preparation plants, they can be used to process coke and shale for stone dusting.
Hammermills are also used in the recycling industry, particularly for processing materials like glass, plastics, and metals, helping to break these materials down into smaller pieces for easier recycling.
In addition, they can be used in the agricultural industry, where they are used to grind feed and other organic materials, ensuring livestock receive properly sized feed for optimal digestion and growth.
