What is a hammer crusher?

Hammer crusher is also called hammer mill, or hammer mill crusher. It is a crusher that uses a series of rotating hammers to crush materials (600–1,800 mm) into smaller pieces (below 25 or 25 mm).

The hammer crusher is very suitable for medium and fine crushing of medium-hard and brittle materials. It is known for providing greater crushing ratios in a variety of materials for the aggregate and industrial markets.

Applicable materials

Hammer crushers can be used for dry and wet crushing. This requires that the compressive strength of the materials is less than 200 Mpa and that the water content is not more than 15%.

You can crush glass, limestone, concrete aggregate, coal, gypsum, bauxite, construction waste, cement clinker, slag, coke, phosphate, dolomite, river pebbles, marble, basalt, shale, etc.

The structure of the hammer crusher

The hammer crusher has a simple and compact structure designed for superior operation and a long lifespan. It is easy to operate and maintain and has high wear resistance.

The structure of the hammer crusher

A hammer mill crusher is mainly composed of the frame, rotor, hammer head, main shaft, and other components.

Frame of the hammer crusher

1. Frame

The inner wall of the hammer mill is inlaid with wear-resistant steel lining plates. The impact plate is replaceable when worn.

Bearing supports are installed on the left and right-side walls for placing carbon steel welded bearings and supporting the rotor. The base of the frame is directly placed on the concrete foundation, with anchor bolts.

The left and right-side walls and the rear cover are welded with steel plates. To prevent dust leakage, a shaft sealing device is installed where the frame contacts the shaft.

Rotor

2. Rotor

The rotor is the main working part of the crusher, which consists of the rotor shaft and hammer head.

The motor drives the rotor directly through the elastic coupling. Then the materials are crushed due to the impact of the hammer on the crushing plate caused by the rotor rotation.

By adjusting the rotor speed, you can change the output size.

Crusher hammer

3. Hammer head

The hammer head, also known as the crusher hammer, is the main wearing part of the hammer crusher.

It is fixed on the rotor and crushes the material by impacting it. After crushing, the qualified materials are discharged from the grate bar.

The weight and material of the hammer head affect the capacity. Therefore, the hammer weight should be moderate (no more than 80 kg), and a good material should be selected.

The choice of the hammer head

Types of hammer head Features Disadvantages
High manganese steel hammer head Good toughness and wear resistance, low price, and wide application If the impact force is insufficient or the contact stress is small, its wear resistance cannot be exerted
Low alloy steel hammer head Less wear and tear, and longer service life than high manganese steel Complicated technology
High-chromium iron hammer head+high manganese steel or carbon steel hammer handle Good wear resistance of hammer head and high toughness of hammer handle Complicated technology

FTM Machinery uses the third type of hammer head, the high-chromium iron hammer head. This type of hammer head uses a chromium alloy containing 20%-27% chromium and is cast with new technology. Therefore, it has a low problem rate and long service life.

Check the hammer regularly. Once worn enough, turn it over and use it on the other side. The worn hammer can be welded with a wear-resistant electrode to restore it. The weight of the replacement hammer head should be as equal as possible, and the deviation should be less than ±0.1 kg.

Main shaft of the hammer crusher

4. Main shaft

The main shaft is part of the hammer mill supporting the rotor.

The mass of the rotor and hammer head, as well as the impact force and torque generated during rotation, are borne by the main shaft.

Therefore, the main shaft needs to have high strength and toughness, and FTM Machinery adopted the high manganese steel forgings.

In addition, FTM Machinery has also designed a dust seal and overload protection devices to ensure the environmental protection and reliability of the crushing process.

How does a hammer mill work?

The working principle of the hammer mill is to crush materials by the impact energy of the high-speed rotating hammer head.

When working, the motor drives the rotor to rotate at a high speed, and the materials are evenly sent into the crushing cavity. The high-speed rotating hammer heads impact and crush the minerals. The crushed materials rush to the impact plate and grate bar at high speed. At the same time, the materials impact each other and are crushed many times.

After that, the materials smaller than the size of the grate gap are discharged. The grate gap determines the final product size, any remaining material continues to be crushed until it is discharged.

Frequently asked questions about the hammer crushers

1. Differences between the hammer crushers

  • In terms of applicability and principle, there is almost no difference between the three models of hammer crushers, except the differences lie in the following two aspects.
  • a. Different positions in the production line. As the large feed inlet of the heavy hammer crusher, it is often used for coarse crushing. In projects, especially in large-scale crushing production lines, PC Hammer Crushers are often used in conjunction with heavy hammer crushers for medium or fine crushing.
  • b. Different hammer performances. The hammer head of the heavy hammer mill is heavier, generally higher than 20 kg, so it has a larger crushing ratio and higher efficiency. The PCZ hammer crusher has the largest capacity, while the PCX hammer crusher has finer products, with a good shaping effect.

2. What factors affect the output of a hammer crusher?

  • a. The hardness of the processed materials. The hardness of the crushed materials must be within the crushing range of the hammer stone crusher.
  • b. The humidity of processing raw materials. If the humidity of the raw materials is too high, there may be a bonding phenomenon when the hammer crusher works and the particle size of the finished product will not be uniform.
  • c. System capability. The improper installation of the spare parts may result in insufficient production capacity of the whole system.
  • d. Feeding. The feeding should be uniform and the amount of feeding should be appropriate.
  • e. Hammer head of the hammer crusher. The wear of hammer head not only affects the production capacity and output particle size of hammer crusher, but also accelerates the wear of equipment.

3. How to adjust the finished product size?

  • The output size depends on a few variables of the crusher: the number and size of hammers; the rotor speed; the settings of the grinding plate; the size of the openings in the perforated screens.
  • The industrial hammer mill is often used for crushing and grinding material to particles smaller than 10 US mesh. Learn more about Size Reduction.

4. What do we use first, the hammer mill or the jaw crusher?

  • It depends on two factors, one is the properties of your materials, especially the level of silica. The other is the input size and output size of your materials.
  • If your materials have smaller input and low hardness (silica levels under 40%), you can use only the hammer mill. If your materials are very big and hard, a jaw crusher is ideal for coarse crushing.
