What are you feeding, what type of power runs your mill (pto or electricity)?
My experience if you want a finer grind and the particle size deviation doesn’t matter, go with a hammer mill. If you want the particle size to be more uniform go with a roller mill, and stack them to get finer particles.
We have tried with electric motors, standard mills run a 3500 rpm motor, and some times we can’t slow the motors down enough (1800 rpm motor with a VFD, to get just a crack without a screen. The higher the tip speed the more grinding action your going to get, especially with a large diameter mill. Also more hammers leads to more grinding. How many rows
of hammers are in your mill?
Get electric motor that runs at 1725. Use pulleys to have rolls running under 400 rpm. Works great.
