Monumental Day - Hammer Mill with Cyclone

Bought the twin to this New Holland hammer mill this afternoon, a gift at $150.00.

The mill is currently driven from the PTO from a tractor, you need about 75 horse power to run the mill, the unit consists of the hammer mill located at the front, a cyclone to collect dust, a hopper to hold product with an auger to off load product.

I'm going to power it up with an older Mineapolis Moline diesel tractor with a turbo charged 6 cylinder engine.

This mill will beat the snot out of house wiring, ribbon cable, dryer cords, christmass lights and such, pretty much what ever fits in the feed shoot will be pulverised. Last mill I had was powered with a 10 hp electric, not enough power.

I mainly feed it rheostats from hot water tanks and electric ranges and timers from washers and dryers to liberate the silver from brass and copper bus bars, did a great job. But due to the lack of horse power required patence. Now I'll have a larger mill with lots of horse power.



The only thing I'll be doing different this time os passing the outoput from the mill over a shacker table to seperate the silver from the copper and brass.

My mill is identicle to the one below, also got a good selction of screens.
