This is one of our 24 by 16 hammer mills.
This is going to a customer who is crushing glass, recycling glass.
Here’s a little sample of the stuff we ran.
These were glass beer bottles.
Nice fine stuff.
It’s run with a 30 horsepower, 3-phase motor, it’s got a hopper on it for conveyor feed,
will take up to a four and a half inch piece.
The screen size in this mill is a three-eighths slot.
Here’s a shot looking up underneath the mill at the screen.
It’s a 1-inch thick steel plate we plazed slots in, they’re about six inches wide,
there are three rows of them.
The screen goes 180 degrees all the way across the bottom of the mill.
And we can custom cut any size hole you want, so if you want three inch by three inch or
one inch by four inch, we can do any size you need.
We did a screen test on this material, and with the rotor spinning at 800 RPM, 60% passes
a 20-mesh screen, 35% is between 8 and 20 mesh, and 5% is larger than 8 mesh.
And different size screens will produce different results depending on what your needs are.
Here’s a couple old tube TVs.
We’re going to take the panel and tube glass out of and run it through the hammer mill.
So we took our TVs and broke the panel and funnel glass out of them, and now we’re
going to run them through our 24 by 16 hammer mill.
So here’s the TV tubes and panel glass.
Nice fine little bits of rubber and stuff.
So here’s looking down the inside of that hammer mill, we took the feed hopper off.
There’s four rows of 7 cast chrome hammers.
We have replaceable, abrasion resistant steel armor all the way around the inside of the
mill.
And you can see down below, there’s the screen.
That spins about 800 RPM in this mill, and the glass comes in and gets crushed and goes
out the slots down there.
