Hammer mills for metals recycling from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for high-speed grinding, precise particle sizing, and efficient material liberation across ASR, e-waste, and industrial scrap streams. These impact-driven systems are designed to break down bonded metals, composite materials, and dense scrap into uniform feedstock for downstream separation and refining.

ERS hammer mills operate on a rotor-based principle, using hardened hammers mounted on a rotating shaft to strike and fragment incoming material. The impact force shatters brittle components and separates layered metals, allowing for clean liberation of aluminum, copper, steel, and other valuable commodities. The result is a consistent particle size that supports fluff separation, air classification, and commodity recovery.

Each hammer mill is configured to match the specific demands of the facility, with options for rotor diameter, hammer type, screen size, and drive power. ERS engineers assess material types, throughput goals, and layout constraints to deliver a customized grinding solution that maximizes efficiency and minimizes wear. Whether you're processing automotive shredder residue, circuit boards, or mixed metal scrap, ERS hammer mills deliver the precision and power required for continuous operation.

The grinding chamber is built with rib-reinforced housings and wear-resistant liners, ensuring long-term durability under extreme loads. Screens are selected based on desired output size, with quick-change access for maintenance and calibration. ERS hammer mills are compatible with pneumatic conveying systems, dust extraction units, and automated feed controls, allowing for seamless integration into existing processing lines.

Material intake is managed through bulk hoppers or conveyor-fed systems, depending on facility design. The hammer mill initiates the reduction sequence, preparing material for final sizing, separation, or compaction. ERS systems are trusted across the recycling industry for their ability to handle diverse scrap streams with consistent results and minimal downtime.

Maintenance is streamlined through hinged access panels, tool-free screen replacement, and visual inspection ports. Shaft bearings are protected by sealed housings, and drive systems are configured for overload protection and energy efficiency. ERS engineers provide full installation support, training, and performance monitoring to ensure long-term ROI and operational reliability.

Hammer mills are especially effective in ASR and e-waste applications, where fine fragmentation and metal liberation are critical. These systems support high recovery rates, reduced labor costs, and compliance with environmental standards. ERS integrates hammer mills with shredders, separators, and fluff extraction units to create complete metals processing workflows tailored to each client’s needs.

By investing in hammer mills for metals recycling from ERS, manufacturers gain control over material quality, recovery efficiency, and operational costs. These machines are built to transform difficult scrap into valuable feedstock, supporting cleaner workflows and profitable recovery in demanding industrial environments.
