Function Principle

  1. Function Principle for Eloquent Hammer MillThe Eloquent Hammer Mill operates based on the principle of impact and shearing forces. Here’s a detailed explanation of its function principle:
    1. Material Feeding:
      • Infeed Mechanism: Raw material is fed into the mill through a hopper or feeding chute. The feeding mechanism ensures a steady and controlled flow of material into the grinding chamber.
      • Gravity Feed: Depending on the model, gravity may assist in feeding the material into the mill.
    2. Grinding Chamber:
      • Rotating Hammer Assembly: Inside the grinding chamber, a high-speed rotor equipped with hammers or blades rotates rapidly.
      • Impact Force: The material enters the grinding chamber and is struck by the rotating hammers. The impact force shatters and breaks the material into smaller pieces.
    3. Particle Size Reduction:
      • Hammer Action: The repeated hammering action progressively reduces the size of the material. The speed and configuration of the hammers determine the final particle size.
      • Shear Force: In addition to impact, shear forces between the hammers and the chamber walls further reduce particle size.
    4. Screening:
      • Interchangeable Screens: The mill is equipped with a screen or sieve located below the hammers. The screen has gap of a specific size.
      • Size Control: Only particles small enough to pass through the screen perforations are allowed to exit the grinding chamber. Larger particles remain in the chamber for further grinding.
      • Adjustable Settings: Users can change the screen size or adjust rotor speed to control the final particle size distribution.
    5. Discharge:
      • Collection Mechanism: Once the particles achieve the desired size, they pass through the screen and are collected in a bin or container.
      • Airflow Assistance: Some models may use airflow to assist in moving the ground material out of the chamber and into the collection system.
    6. Safety and Efficiency Features:
      • Safety Interlocks: The mill includes safety interlocks to prevent operation if the protective shields or covers are not in place.
      • Noise and Vibration Control: Designed to minimize noise and vibration, ensuring a stable and quiet operation.
    7. Maintenance and Cleaning:
      • Easy Access: The design allows for easy access to the grinding chamber and components for cleaning and maintenance.
      • Tool-Free Disassembly: Many models feature tool-free disassembly, making it simple to remove and replace parts as needed.

    Overall Process: The material is fed into the mill, where it is subjected to high-speed impacts from the rotating hammers. The combination of impact and shear forces reduces the material’s particle size. The desired particle size is achieved by adjusting the screen size and rotor speed. The ground material is then discharged and collected, ready for further use or analysis.

    The Eloquent Hammer Mill’s function principle ensures efficient and consistent grinding, making it an essential tool for various applications in laboratories and small-scale production environments.
