Manufacturing hammers with hardoplas

The Challenge

The cost of wood chip crushing must go down.
Important factors in this are:

  • Energy consumption (a hammer mill is known to be a large consumer)
  • Stand time of the hammers
  • Efficiency of the crushing process
  • Quality of the crushed material

Solution

Hammers fitted with a custom-made Durallco hardoplas.

Selection made based on:

  • Current wear pattern
  • Properties of the material to be broken
  • Composition of the material to be broken

Production Profits

  • The tool life of the hammers increased 5 times with this treatment.
  • This results in 5 times less downtime for disassembly and assembly. Cost/Ton – 22%
  • The quality of the broken material produced increases by 17%
