The need for a hammer mill arises as farmers seek to optimize and expedite the production process, aiming to increase productivity capacity. The problem lies in the lack of agricultural machinery adapted to the needs of each farmer and the type of forage to be processed. The development began with the identification of parameters for design, such as material type, production capacity, motor power, and other necessary technical specifications. With the help of calculations, components such as hammers, belts, and the grinding chamber were selected and designed. Subsequently, a finite element analysis was conducted using software to evaluate the main parts of the mill, aiming to achieve a design that meets the farmer's expectations while maintaining efficiency and durability. Ultimately, the hammer mill was successfully manufactured and properly designed to specifically address the needs of the crushing process. The machine demonstrated optimal performance, achieving effective and uniform grinding of the forage. As a result, the mill's durability is backed by the choice of materials and the design process. In other words, both the design and construction of the hammer mill concluded with a positive outcome that met the performance and durability requirements, thus satisfying the demands established by the farmer.
