Size reduction equipment for dried CMC and PAC — reducing lumps and agglomerates to fine powder meeting product mesh size specifications. Stainless steel construction, explosion-proof design, replaceable screen configuration for flexible particle size control.
After drying, CMC and PAC typically exit the dryer as irregular lumps or agglomerates that do not meet the particle size specification required for the final product. The hammer mill reduces this material to a uniform fine powder, with particle size controlled by the screen mesh installed in the mill.
The crushed powder is then conveyed to the blending and sieving stage, where it is homogenized across batches and any oversize particles are removed before packaging. The hammer mill is typically installed in-line immediately after the dryer outlet.

Specifications are engineered to your production capacity and target mesh size. Contact us with your dryer throughput and product mesh specification for a tailored proposal.
| CMC Powder Production | Size reduction of dried CMC to meet 40–120 mesh specifications for industrial, food, oilfield, paper, and ceramic grades. Screen selection depends on target product grade. |
| PAC Powder Production | Crushing dried PAC to 80–100 mesh as required by API 13A specification for oilfield drilling fluid applications. |
| HPMC Production | Applicable in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose production lines for post-drying size reduction to required mesh specification. |
| Other Cellulose Derivatives | Suitable for size reduction of other dried cellulose ether products where controlled particle size is required for the final product specification. |
