STRAW TYPES THAT CAN BE CRUSHED BY THE HAMMER MILL

Straw crushers can process various types of straw, including rice straw, corn straw, cotton straw, soybean straw, wheat straw, and barley straw. Hammer mills are more suitable for straw materials with a moisture content of less than 25%. As the moisture content increases, the fiber toughness increases, and the machine’s output decreases. Therefore, we recommend using straw materials with lower moisture content. Besides crop straw, other biomass materials can also be processed.
Various crop straws: This is the most important raw material, including corn stalks, wheat straw, rice straw, rapeseed stalks, cotton stalks, sorghum stalks, bean stalks, etc.
Vines and husks: Such as peanut vines, sweet potato vines, peanut shells, rice husks, etc.
Other biomass waste: It can also process forage grass, alfalfa, branches, bark, leaves, and corn cobs, etc.
Grain feed: Some models can also crush corn, wheat, soybean meal, and other concentrated feeds.
After crushing, these materials can be widely used in feed production, biomass fuel production, or as raw materials for organic fertilizer.
THE CONFIGURATION OF STRAW HAMMER MILL

The main components of the complete straw hammer mill include a feeding system, a crushing system, and a discharging system. The coarsely crushed straw is evenly fed into the crushing system by an underground automatic feeder, and then evenly discharged from the cyclone dust collector through a pneumatic conveying system. The entire set of equipment achieves automatic start-up and shutdown and overload protection through an automatic control system, achieving a stable and safe operating state.
- Automatic Feeding System
While an automatic feeding system is optional, based on our years of project experience, we recommend adding this system to straw crushing production lines when capacity more than 2t/h if your budget allows. This is because an automatic feeding system can automatically turn on/off based on the main unit’s operating status, protecting the crusher’s main motor and significantly reducing problems such as wrong operation due to fatigue from manual feeding and blockages caused by overfeeding. This greatly reduces average production costs.
- Hammer Milling System
Straw fiber has a very low bulk density; therefore, achieving higher crushing efficiency requires a highly efficient feeding and discharging system. Thus, compared to crushing denser wood raw materials, the straw crusher’s feed inlet needs to be enlarged, and the crushing chamber and rotor diameter are also larger than those for the same output of wood chips .
- High-efficiency discharge system:
The bulk density of the crushed straw powder is still very low ( only 100-160kgs/h based on actual), so it needs to be discharged quickly from the crushing chamber. Low-density straw raw materials are more suitable for pneumatic discharge. We use an enlarged cyclone and a high-efficiency fan. The air separated by the cyclone will enter the bag filters and be discharged into the air directly, which ensures the working environment of the workshop.
THE ADVANTAGE OF JK STRAW HAMMER MILL

1. High-configuration design, low failure and maintenance rates.
Our wheat straw hammer mill utilizes extremely high-configuration components, from the motor and bearings to the hammer pins. Ordinary hammers suffer severe wear when crushing cotton stalks, reeds, and rice straw. Our hammers are made of alloy steel with a wear-resistant coating and undergo a special quenching process, achieving a balance of hardness and toughness, eliminating the need for frequent downtime for replacement.
2.Thickened screen, with aperture and shape customized according to the fiber characteristics of the raw material, ensuring precise and controllable fineness.
We employ a quick-release screen design, allowing for screen replacement in just 10 minutes. Combined with the “pounding” crushing principle of the hammers, the output is uniform, laying the foundation for smooth operation of the subsequent equipment.
3. Multiple bearing protection, capable of handling high-dust straw.
High dust levels on farms lead to rapid bearing wear? We use imported NSK and SFK bearings, combined with a labyrinthine multi-layer sealing structure, preventing dust ingress and grease leakage. The heavy-duty frame design allows for 24-hour continuous operation.
4. Minimal maintenance costs; reusable hammer blades.
Our hammer blades are designed with a symmetrical structure. When one end wears out, it can be reversed via the control cabinet to use the other end of the hammer blade. This means a set of hammer blades can be used twice, resulting in lower processing costs.
HOW THE STRAW HAMMER MILL WORKS
How to Choose the Best Straw HAMMER MILL MACHINE
Choosing the best straw crusher can be challenging for many beginners. Here are a few steps to help you:
Define your needs and select a straw hammer mill based on your raw material type.
The fineness of the crushing process varies greatly depending on the raw material and intended use. For animal feed, a 3-6 mm fine screen is needed, while for fuel and organic fertilizer pellet production, an 8-16 mm screen can be used. When crushing straw such as rice straw and reeds, the requirements for the hammers material are even more stringent. Therefore, before communicating with professional suppliers, you must clearly define the type of straw you want to process, its fiber characteristics, output requirements, and end use.
Inspect the straw hammer mill core components.
Examining the crusher machine's configuration and design is crucial for a high-quality straw crusher. Hammer life directly affects crushing costs. Choose hammers made of wear-resistant alloy steel with a wear-resistant coating; a hardness of ≥HRC55 is recommended. The screen size determines the output fineness, and the opening ratio should be reasonable to prevent clogging. The machine body thickness should be increased according to the model, and the main shaft should undergo forging and quenching treatment to ensure durability and impact resistance.
The control system should be able to coordinate and control operations to maximize machine protection and output.
The main motor should have an automatic ON/OFF design, overload protection, and an emergency stop button. Choose a professional factory with extensive experience, as their rich project experience can help you minimize potential risks and reduce hassles during installation and commissioning.
In short, you should choosing the “most suitable” one rather than choosing the “best.” Only a precise match to your actual needs is the best choice. What raw materials do you want to grind? What is your approximate output requirement? Tell us your specific needs, and we will recommend the most suitable model for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. What factors affect the output of a straw hammer mill machine?
The straw fiber toughness and hardness are crucial factors. Tougher raw materials are more difficult to crush. The moisture content of the raw material is also important. Dried straw is brittle and easier to crush in a crusher, while straw with higher moisture content is harder to break, leading to lower output. The design of the crusher, such as the feed inlet design, rotation speed, screen size, matching airflow, and feeding and unloading methods, are also major factors affecting output.
Q2. What is the price of a straw crusher?
The price range for straw crushers is approximately $3,000 to $50,000 USD, with the price difference mainly depending on the machine type and configuration.
