A hammer mill machine can be useful in a plywood factory for processing wood waste (such as bark, trimmings, sawdust, and rejected veneers) into finer particles for reuse in particleboard, fuel pellets, or other applications. Below are key considerations when selecting a hammer mill for a plywood factory:

1. Key Features of a Hammer Mill for Plywood Waste
– High-Speed Rotor with Hammers – Crushes wood waste into uniform particles.
– Screen/Mesh System – Controls the output particle size (adjustable for different needs).
– Durable Construction – Should handle hard and fibrous materials (e.g., plywood scraps, veneer waste).
– Dust Collection Port – Connects to a cyclone or baghouse to reduce airborne dust.
– High Capacity – Suitable for continuous operation in an industrial setting.
2. Applications in a Plywood Factory
– Recycling Wood Waste – Converts offcuts, bark, and defective plywood into chips or sawdust.
– Fuel Production – Crushed material can be used for biomass boilers or pelletizing.
– Particleboard/MDF Production – Fine wood particles can be reused in composite panels.
3. Recommended Specifications
