Optimizing Hammermill Performance Match Tip Speed and Screen Hole Size
Use high tip speeds for fine grinding, high fiber, and tough to grind materials
>90 M/Sec Screens 3 mm and smaller
Use low tip speeds for coarser, more uniform finished products
<65 M/Sec Screens 4 mm and larger

Actual finished particle sizing and hammermill capacity will vary depending on the feed formulation and raw material conditions (protein, moisture, temperature, fat content, etc.), aspiration air flow, and the condition of the wear parts within the hammermill. The figures indicated above reflect typical feed formulations used to produce extruded pet foods (90% <500) and feeds for aquaculture applications (90% <250).
Pulverizers achieving 1 MTH @ 100 HP cost $3.75/ton for electrical energy alone. Maintenance parts cost often average $0.25 to $0.50 per ton. Air classifiers may require up to 75 HP, adding an additional $2.75/ton for electrical energy costs. Total grinding costs for air swept pulverizers can exceed $7.00 per ton. * Electrical costs based on $0.05/kWh
