Hammers must be replaced in pairs to maintain
proper balance. This is accomplished by replacing
the hammers opposite of each other (180 degrees
apart) using a matched pair.

There are four rows of hammers in the rotor
assembly with a total of 72 hammers on a 20 inch
hammermill. (See Figure 93) The hammers are
reversible, but make sure to always replace the
hammers and spacers in the exact sequence in
which they were removed. This will preserve the
balance of these specially matched units. All four
corners can be used on each hammer.
Figure 93 - Proper Hammer Spacing For 72 Hammers
(20 Inch Hammermill).
To remove the hammers, remove the bolts from the
side of the mill and round plate. (See Figure 94 and
Figure 95.) Remove the pins from each end of the
rod and pull the rods outward making sure the
hammers are put back in the same place from
which they were removed.
