Description: Two ham mermill hammers of different thickness were compared in a commercial feed mill using the existing equipment. Comparison of specificenergy consumption and grinding rate were done. Lifetime evaluation was attempted. The results showed that a 13.6% saving in specific energy consumption and an increase of 11.1% in grinding rate can be obtained by using a thin hammer without affecting the quality of the ground material. However, the lifetime of the thin hammers was very low and difficult to predict. These thin hammers tended to fracture resulting in damage to the surrounding equipment.
