Turning hammers, OMC 95 mixer/mill

DLMKA · Dec 6, 2014

How big of a job is it to turn hammers in a mixer/mill? Any special tools/equipment needed? I have one edge on mine with corners wore off, not sure at what point they are considered "wore out". Just noticing lots of fines in feed along wit some kernels that make it through. Thinking a hammer turn would help improve consistency in feed. Screens have seemingly good edges, not rounded or funnel shaped.

IDK Owatonna, but the Gehl and Lorenz mills I had...IIRC....hammers swung on a rod held in by cotter pins....maybe look for a hole in the housing to line up with rods, pull rod out, reassemble with hammers turned to opposite end. Hammers could be turned to use all four edges.

I don't know if they do that anymore, but we had a couple of hammer mill screens re-rolled to get a new sharp edge.
