Fitzmill D6 Hammermill

• Size reduction of dry materials in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
• Grinding of food products such as spices, sugar, and grains.
• Pulverising of aggregates and minerals for various industrial uses.
• Processing of plastics and other reclaim materials for recycling.
• Milling of animal feeds and pet food ingredients.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 100 kg/hr to over 1000 kg/hr, depending on material, screen size, and motor power.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Motor power

Hammermills in this range often feature motors from 5 kW to 30 kW, influencing grinding intensity and capacity.

Materials of construction

Contact parts are frequently stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly in food and pharma applications.

Blade configuration

Swing knife blades are common, offering versatility for various materials and some tolerance for foreign objects compared to fixed blades.

Screen sizes

A range of interchangeable screens are typically available, allowing for control over the final particle size from coarse to fine.

Footprint

A Fitzmill D6 typically requires a floor area of approximately 1m x 1m, plus space for material handling.

• What kind of materials can a Fitzmill D6 process?

  A Fitzmill D6 is generally suitable for dry, friable, and semi-friable materials. It is less effective with sticky, oily, or highly abrasive substances.
