Description
Hammer mills face a serious problem of energy consumption during grains processes to size reduction particles due to the heaviness of the hammer mill shaft components. That is why the objective of this paper is to optimize two components of a hammer mill shaft using the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) technique implemented in Solid Works modelling and simulation software. A decrease of hammer and flask masses was noted to be 50% and 20 % respectively. Also a stress decrease in the hammer and the flask was as well recorded to be 6% and 3.5% respectively. The initial and optimized mechanical energy of the hammer and shaft were 200.40 J and 157.46 J respectively. Hence, a mechanical energy reduction of 21.5% is obtained.
