Hammer Milling. Hammer Mills use mechanical 'in-air' impact forces to transform bulky raw materials into uniform particles. The key variables controlling particle size are rotor speed, screen size & geometry and feed throat. Fitzpatrick Hammer Mills produce the smaller PSDs and are more suited to abrasive and difficult to mill products.
