Vertical Hammer Mill (VHM)
FEEDTECH hammer mills are grinder devices for size reduction in a wide spectrum from crushing and coarse grinding to fine grinding in feed mill and associated industries with a high efficiency.
FEEDTECH Vertical Hammer Mill with its vertical grinding shaft, was designed to be used as a pre-grinding hammer mill. Using a Vertical Hammer Mill, maintains energy up to 25% in grinding raw materials into small particles in your plant. Besides a small footprint, the advantages of change-over and fast cleaning make it ideal for animal feed, grain and oil milling and biomass industries. There are two types of Vertical hammer mills designed and manufactured by FEEDTECH named VHM-1 & VHM-2 covering (35 ton/h) to (70 ton/h) depending on type of the raw material, recipe and required grinding structure which can be incorporated as a pre-grinding process also.
Vertical Hammer Mills?
Versatility/Practical for a wide range of applications
The VHM-1 and VHM-2 are versatile hammer mills for the size reduction of your free-flowing bulk materials. Designed for particle sizes < 60 mm, bulk densities of 0.2 to 0.8 kg/dm³, a moisture content < 15% and a temperature < 40 °C, it’s an excellent solution for animal feeds, grain, oilseed and biomass processing.
No moisture loss
In absence of aspiration, VHM Saves moisture of goods. Thus, moisture loss is practically zero throughout grinding operation.
Reduced size/Guaranteed settle down in your factory
The VHM’s small footprint makes it easy to settle down into an existing unit or to fit into a new plant. The VHM can be used as a single device or as a twin-grinder couple for doubled output.
Hygienic solution/Easy to clean
VHM-1 & VHM-2 designed to be used easily in terms of maintenance and cleaning. The housing of the grinding chamber can be lowered to allow 360 ° access to the hammers and screens, that’s why the cleaning and substitution of any distressed parts takes minimum of time and energy.
Reduced size/Guaranteed settle down in your factory
The VHM’s small footprint makes it easy to settle down into an existing unit or to fit into a new plant. The VHM can be used as a single device or as a twin-grinder couple for doubled output.
Safety /Cool work environment
The two-hand safety mechanism of VHM, keeps the operators’ hands away from the point of operation in case of an improper approach to machine. Comparing with a horizontal hammer mill, the VHM noise level is almost half that could be kept within 83 dB(A) for most regular materials and recipes.
No need for aspiration/Cost-saving
One of the most brilliant advantages of VHM is that it doesn’t require an aspiration. This tremendously reduces capital investment and operation costs. So, energy consumption can be reduced by as much as 25% in comparison to horizontal hammer mills.
