The Fitzpatrick Company

Hammer mills are among the oldest, most enduring examples of man’s ingenuity -- simple, efficient tools for processing raw materials. Through the application of mechanical impact forces — in the form of multiple hammer blows — bulky raw materials are transformed into uniform particles. Hammer mill grinders provide a quick, efficient method to size reduce raw materials and achieve a uniformed processed product.

Hammer mills rely on the simple principle that most solid materials shatter or shred upon suitably vigorous impact. In essence, hammer mills excel at grinding and crushing. In most instances, industrial hammer mills harness gravity to carry raw materials into a hopper, where a rapidly spinning rotor allows hammers to strike the raw materials repeatedly, pulverizing them to a relatively uniform consistency.

The Fitzpatrick Company offers a variety of hammer mill designs, to accommodate clients' wide-ranging application needs. For more than eight decades, we have proudly engineered and manufactured particle processing equipment for particle size reduction and dry granulation applications. The Fitzpatrick Company offers fully scalable solutions with repeatable results, backed by decades of hands-on application knowledge and a worldwide sales and processing support structure. When it comes to comminution and compaction, The Fitzpatrick Company is second to none.
