How long do sieves last in a hammer mill?

The service life of sieves can vary from a few hours to several months. The service life depends on several factors:

• Perforation: small holes can only be made with a thinner plate. A thinner plate has a shorter lifespan.
• Sheet thickness: If the sheet is thinner, the service life will be shorter.
• Hard, tough material leads to more wear and tear on the screen. So a shorter life.
• High contamination such as stones or grit in the product leads to a higher risk of damage to the sieve. The result is a shorter life span.
• Speed: a higher speed of the hammer mill results in a shorter life for the screen.
• Specific capacity: a higher capacity of the hammer mill leads to more capacity per screen surface. This shortens the life span of the sieves.
• Diameter hammer mill: if the diameter is smaller, the life span of the sieves will be shorter.
