Rocks, foreign material, damaged screens, and a torn-up regrind chamber push this wood pelleting operation to the limit. Dagger™ Hammers stay in service.

Animal Comfort Group fights constant hammer failures in its wood pelleting operation. Rocks and other foreign objects enter the process and destroy nearly every hammer design the operation tries. Standard ¼-inch hammers crack around the holes, break through the shaft, and come out of service long before they wear out.

The operation tests multiple hammer options but continues to experience constant breaking.

Then the team installs CPM Dagger™ Hammers.

The foreign material keeps coming.

The hammers keep running.

Then the operation hits a major upset condition.

Screens fail.

The regrind chamber tears apart.

But the Dagger™ Hammers remain and continue grinding.

The screens fail. The regrind chamber fails.

CPM Dagger™ Hammers don’t.

A Dagger™ Hammer Changes What “Normal” Looks Like in a Hammermill

In a hammermill, the job is particle size reduction, turning incoming material into a target size for downstream pelleting, screening, or handling. Foreign material shows up. Impact hits the hammer hole and edges. Cracks start. Wear accelerates. Dagger™ Hammers are designed to keep that failure point strong so production stays consistent and the operation avoids unplanned downtime. Wood fiber. Animal feed. Same reality. When one hammer breaks, machines stop. Dagger™ Hammers keep running.

Built Tough. Configured to Last.

Many hammers use tungsten.

Many hammers look tough.

The difference isn’t the coating alone.

The difference starts with the configuration.

CPM experts install Dagger™ Hammers in a proven configuration that distributes the grinding load across the hammer set and keeps material moving through the mill. The hammers work together as a system rather than concentrating impact in a few areas.
