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.
