Hammer crusher: essential equipment for organizing animal feeding

The design of a hammer crusher makes it possible to process grain for high-quality production of animal feed. They crush the kernels and ensure their better assimilation. This is necessary to obtain maximum nutritional value. Crushed feed is more easily absorbed by animals, which allows for a higher percentage of vitamins, improved digestion, and reduced grain consumption due to the rapid saturation of the animal.

Design of a Hammer Crusher and Its Advantages

The operating principle of a hammer crusher is based on the use of special hammers to implement the grinding process. Structurally, the apparatus consists of the following elements:

• housing of the hopper for filling grain;
• motor providing drum rotation;
• concave and grate for sifting and separating fractions;
• hammers for crushing.

All these elements are necessary for high-quality product grinding. The advantage of such an installation is the provision of continuous crushing. The equipment can operate continuously, which increases its efficiency and productivity. An additional advantage is that various types of hammer crushers are suitable for installation on large and small agricultural farms, as well as in feed production facilities.

How Do Hammer Crushers Work?

In short, the operating principle of a hammer crusher consists in the rotation of a drum, inside of which crushers are located. They begin to strike the grain, which leads to its grinding. In an extended version, the hammer crusher works in several stages.

1. Initially, grain is poured into the hopper. Through it, the product enters directly into the drum.
2. Then the hammers strike the grain, thereby ensuring crushing.
3. The drum has a mesh structure. This makes it possible for the required fractions to pour down onto the conveyor belt.

A feature of this process is the fact that the degree of grinding and the size of the fractions are determined using the drum grate. The smaller the sections, the finer the grinding will occur.

The choice of cell size and type of apparatus depends on production volumes, enterprise size, and the intended use of the output raw material. For feeding cattle, coarse grinding can be performed. The smaller the animal, the finer the crushing is implemented. If the kernels then go to a pelletizer, the grinding must be minimal. This is necessary for the high-quality formation of pellets and obtaining a more plastic mass.

At the "Budprom" company, you can choose equipment for compound feed production at affordable prices. Here you can find not only crushers, but also pelletizers, extruders, presses, and other types of products. All of them are distinguished by high quality and manufacturing reliability. Thanks to a wide assortment, livestock organizations will be able to select everything necessary to implement the process of feed preparation and ensure complete nutrition for farm livestock.
