Hammer mill for efficient particle size reduction in feed mills

Optimize your feed milling operations with this hammer mill, designed to deliver high-speed, continuous grinding and milling for consistent particle size reduction, enhancing efficiency and throughput in your processing line.

Processes and Grinds Solid Granules Efficiently

The Hammer Mills 670 by Ottevanger Milling Engineers represent a pinnacle in industrial milling efficiency, designed for feed mill operators and agricultural processors. These mills are engineered for a dual direction rotation feature, significantly enhancing grinding precision and machine longevity. Equipped with electro-pneumatic product guide valves and cast iron rupture discs, they ensure operational safety and consistent performance. The mills cater to applications across compound feed, aqua feed, and grain processing by effectively reducing particle size to approximately 200 microns, thus ensuring optimal product texture and quality.

With various configuration options, the Hammer Mills 670 can process diverse inputs such as solid granules and powders with a throughput of up to 35 tons per hour for barley and maize. These machines incorporate an automatic, frequency-controlled vibratory feeder ensuring uniform granulate distribution and high-efficiency milling. The robust construction includes a fully enclosed roll feeder with self-cleaning magnet systems, offering seamless integration into existing lines while maintaining operational efficiency.

Ottevanger has designed these mills with energy efficiency in mind, implementing innovations like a precisely balanced rotor that reduces energy consumption during high-speed operations. Maintenance is streamlined with large inspection doors and the Quick Hammer Exchange system, facilitating ease of access and minimal downtime. Custom engineering support ensures the Hammer Mills 670 can be tailored to specific production needs, making it a versatile addition across animal feed, grain processing, and oilseed processing industries.
