The MillNest Hammer Mill delivers high-capacity spice grinding and industrial material reduction with precision and energy efficiency. Ideal for turmeric grinding, chilli powder production, herbal pulverizing, and grain milling, it ensures uniform particle size and minimal heat generation. Built for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, this hammer mill increases throughput while lowering operating costs. Its robust design guarantees long service life and easy maintenance, making it perfect for continuous production lines. Whether for bulk spice processing or fine chemical milling, the MHAM optimizes performance, reduces downtime, and supports sustainable, energy-efficient manufacturing.
Overview
The MillNest Hammer Mill (MHAM) is a high-efficiency impact pulverizer designed to handle a wide range of materials with precision and reliability. It grinds solids to achieve particle size distributions in the range of 500 microns to 3 mm, making it suitable for coarse and fine grinding.
Using rapidly rotating hammers, the MHAM reduces material size by striking particles against liners within the grinding chamber. A screen fitted at the bottom ensures that only properly sized particles pass through as the finished product, while coarse materials are retained for further grinding. Positive suction at the outlet maintains necessary airflow, ensuring a dust-free, clean operation.
Engineered for durability and efficiency, the MillNest Hammer Mill is an essential tool for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and mining.
Working Principle
The MillNest Hammer Mill operates on the principle of impact grinding, achieving size reduction through the following steps:
Material Infeed
Raw material, such as grains, spices, or chemicals, is fed into the mill’s grinding chamber through an inlet.
Hammer Impact
Inside the chamber, rotating hammers or blades strike the material at high speeds, breaking it into smaller particles.
Size Reduction
The particles are subjected to impact and shearing forces, achieving finer sizes as they pass through a perforated screen or mesh.
Discharge
Once ground to the desired size, the material exits the mill, ready for further processing or packaging.
Output
This process is highly efficient, supporting both coarse and fine grinding with precise particle size control.
