Abstract
Methods for manufacturing improved free-swinging hammermill hammer configurations are disclosed and described and include hammers of a lightweight and efficient design. The improved hammers can be arranged in clusters. The free-swinging hammermill hammer configurations are for comminution of materials such as grain and refuse. The hammer configurations of the present disclosure are adaptable to most hammer mill or grinders having free-swinging systems. The improved configurations improve installing, removing, and cleaning hammer components within the hammermill. Additionally, the hammer configurations of the present disclosure improve the overall efficiency of the hammermill during operation.
Claims20
A rotatable hammermill assembly comprising:
- a hammer comprising:
- a planar hammer body comprising:
- a first end;
- and
- a second end for contact and delivery of momentum to material to be comminuted;
- side edges extending from the first end to the second end;
- a weld hardened edge attached to the second end;
- a rod hole passing through the planar hammer body, the rod hole having an elongated cavity extending therefrom;
- collinear apertures to provide relief to the hammer body during operation of the rotatable hammermill assembly;
- and
- at least one elongated slot collinearly located between at least two of the collinear apertures.
