Changing screens is fast and simple

The no tool rapid screen change latch makes screen changes fast and simple. The single-size dimension screen means the same screen can fit into any location in the hammer mill, minimizing your screen inventory complexity. Operators will love the friendly and safe Granulex ® 5 Series.

Granulex® 5 Series

Safe access to the grinding chamber

The two large main doors can be easily opened and slid to the side. It means the sliding doors do not obstruct the operator during maintenance work. The safety of personnel is always guaranteed thanks to the constant monitoring of the door and active locking during operation. A safety circuit guarantees that the machine cannot start when the doors are open.

 

Flexibility

Tailor-made for a wide field of applications

The smart modular design increases the flexibility in order to meet the requirements of multiple product manufacturing. Each Granulex 5 series hammer mill is configured specifically for its intended application. The many degrees of freedom in the configuration allows very detailed requirements to be met.

Quick changeover

Changing hammers has never been easier

Downtime is no longer an issue for Granulex 5 series hammer mills. The hammers can be replaced independently by one person. The patented Bühler hammer cages enables an operator to prepare the new hammer sets completely outside of the machine. The prepared sets are then simply installed in the machine and picked up by a classic hammer shaft. Simple to use and reliable.
