Hammer Mills

Efficient Milling Solutions and Proven Expertise

The first product Prater (formerly Prater Pulverizer) developed was a hammer mill, also known as hammer forges or hammer works. Since that time, our company has sold thousands of hammer mills to customers in various industries. For over 90 years, we have relied on advanced technology to properly engineer our mills for new applications. Prater continues to provide solutions for some of the most demanding processing challenges with our innovative designs, industry expertise, and advancements that provide a shorter wait for your business’s return on investment. Our hammer mills are commonly used for many different particle reduction applications, including those that require high capacities, extreme power efficiency, and uniform particle size.

FULL-SCREEN HAMMER MILL

Our exclusive Full Screen design is a proven system that ensures use of the entire available screen area which enhances end product quality and hammer mill productivity. Hammer mill screens are strategically placed where extensive testing has shown the majority of milling and grinding takes place. This optimal placement increases throughput capacity without increasing power requirements and other costs. The design also simplifies screen changes by improving access to working parts.

MEGA MILL HAMMER MILL

The Prater Mega Hammer Mill is designed to fill the gap between our standard hammer mills and our fine grinders. The Mega Mill provides uniform grinding with minimal heat build-up. A unique cantilevered grinding rotor results in smooth, quiet operation that can be maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Prater’s Mega Mills run more efficiently and with less airflow than conventional hammer mills.
