CS Bell Number 10 Hammer Mill (AC-WTS)

This rebuilt CS Bell No. 10 Hammer Mill is a powerhouse of versatility, combining the legendary durability of American-made cast iron with modern control technology. By integrating a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), we have transformed this classic mill into a precision instrument capable of handling delicate herbs or rugged industrial materials with equal efficiency.

The Modern Edge: VFD Upgrade

The addition of the VFD is a game-changer for the No. 10 unit. It allows the operator to fine-tune the motor speed, providing unmatched control over particle size and heat generation. Whether you need high-speed pulverization for fine powders or a slower rotation to prevent bruising delicate botanicals, the VFD offers a “dial-in” precision that standard fixed-speed mills simply cannot match. This upgrade also reduces mechanical wear through soft-start capabilities, extending the lifespan of your equipment.

Industries & Applications

The CS Bell No. 10 is the “Swiss Army Knife” of size reduction. Its compact 6-inch width and heavy-duty construction make it ideal for:

Agriculture & Farming: Primary choice for grinding corn, small grains, and seeds for high-quality animal feed, poultry scratch, and livestock nutrition.

Herbal & Botanical Processing: Perfect for tea production, leaf cutting, and processing dried roots. The VFD ensures that temperature-sensitive herbs are not scorched during the milling process.

Food & Beverage: Widely used as a commercial spice grinder, coffee mill, and for producing whole wheat flour, cornmeal, and cacao bean nibs.

Pharmaceutical & Chemical: Capable of pulverizing chemical solids and laboratory samples into uniform granules or fine-mesh powders for testing and production.

Recycling & Waste Management: Efficiently crushes glass into cullet, processes cardboard into pulp, or breaks down wood chips and sawdust for biomass and pellet production.

Specialty Manufacturing: Utilized for grinding nut shells, bone meal for organic fertilizers, and pigments for cosmetics or industrial coatings.
