Industrial Hammer Mills for Material Size Reduction

Airtight Industrial Hammer Mills provide a secondary size-reduction solution for suitable industrial waste and production materials.

Where shredders are typically used to break down larger and bulkier material, a hammer mill can be used where a finer and more consistent processed material is required.

Material entering the hammermill is subjected to repeated impact within the grinding chamber, reducing it to a smaller particle size before discharge.

From Shredding to Finer Material Processing

For many waste processing applications, reducing material size is a multi-stage process.

A primary shredder can first reduce bulky offcuts and waste into manageable pieces. An industrial hammer mill can then provide further size reduction where a finer output is required for the next stage of the process.

This makes hammermills particularly useful as part of an integrated waste reduction system rather than simply as standalone equipment.

Prepare Material for Downstream Processing

Reducing waste to a smaller and more consistent size can make it easier to handle, transport or prepare for subsequent processing.

Depending on the material and application, hammer milling can form part of a system designed around:

• Further material size reduction
• Waste volume management
• Recycling and resource recovery
• Material handling
• Preparation for suitable downstream processes
• Preparation of suitable material for briquetting or energy recovery

Airtight also supplies industrial shredders and briquetting presses, allowing the complete waste processing system to be designed around the incoming material and required final output. Airtight’s AP briquetting equipment, for example, processes materials including wood chips, MDF, timber shavings, paper and certain other production wastes.

Engineered Around Your Material

The correct size-reduction equipment depends heavily on what you are processing and what you need the material to look like afterwards.

Material composition, incoming particle size, required final size, throughput and downstream process should all be considered when selecting between a shredder, hammer mill or combined processing system.

Talk to Airtight Solutions about the material you’re processing, required throughput and desired final output. We can help determine whether an industrial hammer mill, shredder or combined waste processing system is the right solution for your operation.
