What Materials Can Be Processed in a Hammer Mill?

With the rapid development of the feed industry, hammer mill as one of the core equipment in the feed machinery, because of its simple structure, adaptability, production efficiency and other characteristics, is widely used in the processing of various types of feed materials. So, what materials can be processed by hammer mill?

Cereal-based ingredients

Cereal materials are common processing objects of hammer mill. Corn, as the “main force” in the feed ingredients, is used in a large number of various types of livestock and poultry feed. Hammer mill can be corn particles crushed to the appropriate size, easy to follow the mixing, granulation and other processes to enhance the livestock and poultry on its digestive absorption rate. Sorghum is also applicable, after the hammer mill processing, can effectively improve its palatability, to provide animals with a high-quality energy source. In addition, wheat such as wheat, barley, etc., in the role of the hammer mill, can be finely crushed, become an integral part of the feed.

Oil and Meal Raw Materials

Beans are also the “specialty” of the hammer mill. Soybeans, peas and other legumes are rich in protein, after the hammer mill processing, can make the protein more easily absorbed and utilized by the animal organism. However, because beans contain some anti-nutritional factors, in the crushing process need to reasonably control the parameters to ensure that the crushing effect at the same time, without affecting its nutritional value.

Straw and crude fiber

For non-conventional raw materials in feed production, hammer mill can also play an important role. Like corn stalks, peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings and other crop stalks, after the hammer mill crusher, can be used for ruminant feed, increase the fiber content of the feed, to promote the health of the animal rumen. However, the texture of such materials is relatively tough, according to the actual situation need to adjust the number of hammers, shape, and speed of the crusher, in order to achieve the desired crushing effect.

Feed additive field

In the field of feed additives, the hammer mill is also a great help. Shellac, bone meal and other mineral additives, after the hammer mill crushed to the appropriate particle size, can be better mixed with other feed ingredients, to ensure that the animal's balanced intake of minerals. In addition, some vitamin premix, drug additives, etc., can also through the hammer mill for preliminary crushing or refinement of the processing, to improve its dispersion and stability in the feed.

In summary

With the development of aquaculture to the direction of scale and intensification, the feed enterprises are constantly improving the efficiency and quality requirements of raw material processing. With its wide material adaptability and stable performance, the hammer mill has become an indispensable key equipment in the feed production line. In the future, with the application of intelligent technology, hammer mill will further develop in the direction of automation and low energy consumption, providing a stronger boost for the green upgrading of the feed industry.
