French-made cast iron hammer mill
« on: December 14, 2024, 08:57:52 am »
Hello from Deep France,

For your viewing pleasure, I've uploaded a video of my newly acquired French-made cast iron hammer mill being powered by my Wilesco D24. This the the first hammer mill I've ever owned. It's amazing how much noise they make.
I guess this is also what is called a trip hammer.

Enjoy!

I had an old college professor who used to say, "The cows may come and the cows may go, but the bull goes on forever."

That is neat!

I caught an optical illusion that made it look like the 2 hammer heads were swapping places left to right.

I caught that illusion too!

Looked like the far hammer kept leapfrogging over the near hammer!!

How cool is that!?!?

Oh, yeah. I just now noticed the optical illusion!

Thanks for sharing the video.
