Dinnissen Process Technology to introduce improved hammer mill
Dinnissen Process Technology, which specializes in the development and production of process technologies for the feed, food, pharma and chemical industries, will be introducing an improved hammer mill.
The new design increases the surface area of the grinding panels as well as screen panels inside the hammer mill. This results in increased grinding as well as screening capacity. In addition, the screen storage facility is fitted with an extra-wide chamber for ease of maintenance and replacement of damaged screens. This in turn reduces downtime during maintenance stops and increases the overall efficiency of the new hammer mill.
The maximum speed of the new system is 1500 revolutions per minute, it has a longer usable lifetime and is more energy efficient than its predecessors.
The built-in magnets and traps for unwanted hard objects also prevent damage to the screens from the presence of iron objects or other hard materials. This also increases the efficiency of the hammer mill at a very low noise level.
The screen changing system allows for increased speed, ease-of-use and reliability to clients who regularly switch between different ingredients and product specifications. The automatic screen exchanger can accommodate four to six sets of different screen panels, making it possible for the system to automatically select the appropriate screen perforation and thereby grind the raw ingredients into the desired product with optimum structure and particle size.
The mechatronic screen exchanger system automatically chooses and places the correct set of screen panels in the hammer mill. After completion of the production process, the screen exchanger also removes and stores the set of screens quickly within 40 seconds, reducing downtime. It also greatly reduces the risk of the wrong screen panels being used. The automatic screen exchanger can also be fitted with a screen detection system, making it possible to identify and report the right selection to the control room.
Dinnissen''snew hammer mill will be presented at the VIV, Interpack, Schüttgut and Victam trade fairs in the coming months.
