Size reduction from 22.4 to 3.2 mm for hardwood specific energy requirement for knife mill is two times lower than for hammer mill, and vice versa for corn stover. It is also worth noting the typical situation where the authors use term "ball mill" for another type of equipment that uses balls as grinding bodies.

The hammermill is one of the most common industrial size reduction devices. As with most types of process equipment, the hammermill's name describes its function: a number of "hammers" are mounted to a shaft that rotates at high speed within a chamber to "mill" bulk solid material to a desired particle size range.

A new particle size reduction constant, k, is proposed as a result of a linear relationship between dx and output screen size, dss. As dss decreases, the PSD range of milled particles narrows; as mill speed increases (approximately 5000 rpm), dx decreases. The decrease is of a greater magnitude for larger dss (2 mm) than for a smaller dss (1 mm
