Why Can a Hammer Mill Break Glass?

Can we recycle glass from a hammer mill?

The hammer crusher mainly reduces the glass by the striking force by which the glass is struck and cracked under the high speed. The hammerhead is made by new workmanship, which has the strong abrasion resistance and strong anti-strike force and is not easy to be destroyed. Besides, its maintenance and repair protection is very convenient; the purging space of the discharge port can be adjusted so that you can adjust the discharge according to the user’s production requirements such as granularity, wide adaptability; mature structural design, low noise during production, low pollution, efficient production process, etc.

What do the final products look like?

glass can be crushed in various sizes

case1: 24by 16 hammer mill, 30 horsepower, 3 phase motor, it’s got a hopper on it for conveyor. The screen shot in this mill is a 3-8 slot and has 3 rows of them. The screen goes 180 degrees all the way across the bottom of the mill. Besides,  we can custom cut any size hole you want, so if you wanna 3 inches by 3 inches or one inch by four inches, we can do any sides you need.  Different size screens will produce different results depending on whats your needs are.

Case2: 16 by 12 hammer crusher with no screen material: lenses  3/4’’ down to 3/16’’ even 1/8’’ smaller ones

What reuse of the glass crushed by hammer crusher?

Glass is a commonly used substance in modern human life. It can be made into various utensils, flat glass, and other things, which cause many wastes. For the sustainable use of resources, it is possible to collect discarded glass and reuse it again. At present, there are several types of recycling of glass products: as a flux for casting, transformation, and utilization, re-refining and recycling of raw materials. Crushed glass can be used as a flux for casting steel and copper alloy through covering the melt to prevent oxidation.

Transformation and utilization

Transformation and utilization is a recycling method that needs to be developed urgently. In the future, there will be many new technologies that can bring value-added for transformation and utilization. After the pretreated cullet is processed into small granules of glass, it has the following uses:

(1) The use of glass shards as a combination of pavements has been proven in the United States and Canada for several years. The use of shards of glass as a filler for roads has the effect of reducing the lateral slip of the vehicle compared to other materials and the reflection of light is appropriate. What’s more, good wear condition established by the material including glass makes the snow melt quickly so that the crushes glass is suitable for a place with low temperatures.

(2) Mix the pulverized glass with building materials to make architectural products such as building prefabricated parts and building bricks. It has been proved that the products which are formed by press molding with organic materials as binders have high dimensional accuracy and strength, and low production cost.

(3) The pulverized glass is used to make building surface decorations, reflector materials, arts and crafts and clothing accessories, which have beautiful visual effects.

(4) Mixtures of glass and plastic waste with building materials can be made into synthetic building products.
