Abstract

There have been extensive researches on improving the productivity, the efficiency and the power requirement for milling machines. However less or maybe there is no effort were done to improve the work environment. On the other hand, most of the agricultural machines are seasonal machines for only one operation. This raises the cost of this operation to cover the investment in the machine. In addition, the machine exposed to some damages like rust if it is not well maintained.
A hammer mill machine was modified to mill a wide range of farm residuals. The aim of this work is to improve the operating environment by reducing the machine sound level. That will be the main target of this work. An added value to this machine will be done also by using it to mill poultry fodder after modified it. That will be another target of this work.
