Rods & Pins

Heavy-duty rods and pins for secure hammer attachment.

Nuts & Bolts

Maximum-strength fasteners for grinding applications.

Wear Plates

Protects hammer mill and grinding equipment from excessive wear.

Rods & Pins

Hammer mill and grinding equipment rods and pins both play a role in securing and supporting hammers within the grinding chamber.

Rod and pins are long, cylindrical metal shafts that run through the center of the swing hammers, holding them in place within the mill. Rods and pins act as pivot points, allowing the hammers to swing freely and impact material during grinding. They are typically made from hardened steel to withstand repeated impacts and wear.

Nuts & Bolts

For hammer mills and grinding equipment, selecting the right nuts and bolts is crucial for durability, reliability, and ease of maintenance. Here are the best types for various applications:

Recommended Nuts for grinding equipment:

Heavy Hex Nuts – Thicker and stronger than standard hex nuts, providing better load-bearing capacity for high-impact areas.
Lock Nuts (Nyloc or Jam Nuts) – Used to prevent loosening due to vibration, making them ideal for securing hammer rods and wear plates.
Flange Nuts – Have a built-in washer to distribute load evenly, reducing stress on grinding equipment components.
Square Nuts – Offer a larger surface area for gripping, often used with carriage bolts for securing plates and screens.

Recommended Bolts for grinding equipment:

Hex Head Bolts – Standard heavy-duty bolts commonly used for securing grinding equipment components like screens, grates, and wear plates.
Carriage Bolts – Feature a smooth, rounded head with a square neck to prevent turning, ideal for fastening wear plates and back plates.
Plow Bolts – Countersunk bolts with a flat or dome head, excellent for securing high-wear components like hammers and screens while minimizing surface obstruction.
Grade 8 Bolts – High-strength bolts designed for extreme impact and vibration resistance, ideal for heavy-duty grinding equipment applications.
Stainless Steel Bolts – Best for applications requiring corrosion resistance, such as mills used in damp or acidic environments.

Wear Plates

The wear plates in hammer mills and grinding applications protect the machine from wear and impact damage.

These are replaceable protective liners installed in high-impact areas inside the hammer mill or grinding equipment, such as near the grinding chamber walls or discharge openings. Wear plates are made from hardened steel or other wear-resistant materials and are designed to absorb abrasion and reduce wear on the mill’s internal surfaces, prolonging the life of the machine.

"My partnership with Duragrind began several years ago when they collaborated with my company to design hammermill hammers that increased our hammer longevity by at least 25%. Their exceptional customer service and responsiveness to any issues have been invaluable. Today, Duragrind supplies wear components for all 14 of our hammermills."
