Hammermill

When it comes to size reduction equipment, the hammermill is a workhorse. Heyl & Patterson Hammermill machines can handle various materials, making them the perfect choice for multiple applications.

What is a hammermill machine?

Hammermill machines pulverize or crush materials down into smaller pieces. It consists of a rotating shaft with free-swinging hammers. The hammers break up the materials until they are small enough for passage through a screen with openings to match the particle size of the material.

The H&P Hammermill

You don’t have to worry about frozen or oversized materials hampering your Railcar Rotary Dumper unloading process with the Heyl & Patterson Hammermill. Our hammermills remove frozen materials from grizzlies and grates without expensive crushing equipment. It is safe, rugged, and energy efficient.

We designed a grizzly with a blunt head hammer pivot-pinned on the rotary shaft, capable of crushing even the most complex frozen coal. Hammerheads are positioned to maximize crushing across the entire grizzly. As the Hammermill incorporates separate drives for its rotary shaft and traverse drive, it can be used to break up oversized materials while simultaneously cleaning the grate under your dumper.

Whether a new installation or an existing facility, the Hammermill can be integrated into Rotary Dumpers manufactured by other companies and Heyl & Patterson-designed machines, including:
