| The performance of a hammer mill fabricated in Uganda was evaluated and the optimal performance conditions were determined. The evaluation was done with screen hole diameters (S) of 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 mm, hammer tip speeds (H) of 68.12, 81.81, 102.17 m s-1 and hammer thicknesses (T) of 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 mm for determination of energy consumption and final particle size (GMD) using a modified central composite (CCD) split-plot experimental design. Screen hole diameter and hammer thickness had significant effects on energy consumption (p<0.05). S and H had a significant effect on GMD but with T did not have a significant effect on GMD. S and H had significant effects on both GMD and energy consumption. Quadratic effect of T, interaction effects of TH and... |

| Hammer mills or roller mills are used to grind grain for feed for animal husbandry. The grinding process in hammer mills is based on impact stress on the grain kernels. Roller mills, however, apply pressure and shear stress. The different working principles in hammer mills and roller mills lead to different physical properties of the ground material. The aim of the project was to quantify the physical properties of barley which was ground by a hammer mill or a roller mill. Therefore, the particle size distributions of the ground material were determined by sieving. The particle form was characterized by a form factor. Shear experiments according to Jenike were carried out to determine the flowability. The bulk density was obtained from the quotient of the... |
