Design
Neue Herbold HM series hammer mills are designed and equipped highly wear resistant cutting instruments (hammers and hammer bars). The bearings of the rotor shaft are mounted within solid steel housings (not castings) which offer more reliable service and eliminate any chance for the housings to crack or break under heavy shock loads. As opposed to flanged mounted bearings, outboard mounting prevents dust/fines from fouling the bearing nor grease from contaminating the granulate. Outboard mounting provides for a quieter and cooler. The totally welded housing can also be equipped with replaceable wear plates when operating with high impact or abrasive material.
