Milling the World’s Industrial Products.

Other than the processing of foodstuffs for human and animal consumption, Hippo Mills offers hammer mills to reduce in size, a myriad of industrial products from chemicals to metals and waste products through its very robust range of Hippo hammer mills with input kW ranging between 2.2kw and 90kW.

The following industrial materials have for instance, been successfully ground :

• Wood – various applications such as feed for ruminants and game, very fine powder for Masonite board and particle board, chips ground down for briquettes, very fine wood for plastic/wood extrusions, glue.
• Cellulose for fire lighters, specialty papers, insulation and recycling from various sources.
• Plastics – from recycling to conversion.
• Electronics waste, glass, metal shavings, aluminium.
• Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fertilisers, pigments and textile chemicals including salts, sodium nitrate and virtually all non-explosive products.

Depending on the application, virtually dust free environments can be created where this is a concern while normal operations allows for highly reduced dust during processing.
