Williams manufactures a large variety of Hammer Mills to handle virtually any size reduction job. These rugged machines provide the effi ciencies and economies of mid-air impact crushing, grinding, or shredding of diverse materials. They are designed to operate on an 8000 hours-per-year basis and should not be compared to the lighter version of this type of equipment made by other companies. HAMMER MILLS Rigid Arm Breaker Williams GP, or General Purpose Mill is a simple, rugged answer to many small and medium capacity grinding jobs. Rocket Mills are designed for the rapid reduction of large quantities of non-abrasive materials. Meteor Mills are characterized by high hammer-tip speed to permit a fi ne product or to obtain specifi c characteristics in the fi nished product. Slugger Crushers have large feed openings and massive construction for the big, continuous jobs, either in hourly output or reduction ratio. NF and GA Mills are overrunning machines where the material is reduced on the breaker plates before being further reduced on the grates. Ring Crushers are specially designed to reduce the size and volume of metal turnings, bushelings, or clips through effi cient impact crushing. Swing hammers can be substituted for the rings when needed. Traveling Breaker Plates are designed to permit a Slugger Crusher to reduce sticky muddy rock, clay, shale, or bauxite without clogging. Williams Reversible Mills have hammers that can be automatically turned, simply by pushbutton reversal of the drive motor. Production is increased, hammer life is doubled, and maintenance is reduced. Traveling Breaker Plate Mill Rigid Arm Breakers are essentially mills in which the hammers are rigid, rather than swing-mounted, for use in paper industries.

ROLLER MILLS Williams produces 18 different sizes of Roller Mills with varying capacities utilizing air classifi cation and grinding. They are used in industries for pulverizing minerals, chemicals, pigments, tobacco, and coal. Roller Mills are very effi cient grinders capable of handling a variety of abrasive materials and producing product sizes from 60 mesh to 600 mesh. All Williams Roller Mills are custom designed for each application. They can also be very effi cient dryers with the addition of an air heater. Standard Roller Mills are perfect for fi ne grinding applications requiring effi cient drying, air classifi cation, and conveying the material in one simple process. We also offer four different types of Air Classifi ers to compliment our Standard Roller Mills: Spinner, High Effi ciency Turbine, Isokinetic, and Velocity Separators. Direct Fired Roller Mills are the same as our Standard Roller Mills, but the construction is more robust to withstand 50 PSI or greater applications. These units are very effi cient in grinding and pulverizing coal and petroleum coke for direct fi ring into boilers and kilns. They are also good for grinding other types of materials such as clays or lignites. DFM Roller Mills are specially designed to crush limestone and to produce 18 x 200 mesh sorbent media for Fluid Bed Boilers. They are designed to handle positive and negative pressures of over 100 inches water column. 5

Impact Dryer Mills are very much like Roller Mills except the primary crushing unit is a Hammer Mill. These are used when crushing, grinding, air classifying, and drying, or thermal processing is required in the application. They also are custom designed for each application and are used in a wide variety of industries such as drying fi lter cake medium, clays, coal, gypsum, and other soft materials including pigments, and can produce products between 8 and 325 mesh.

SHREDDERS Williams produces a variety of specialty shredders for different industries. Ripshear Shredders are slow speed, high torque shear type cutters that can reduce solid waste, steel, and tires in a quiet, clean, and economical way with minimum dust produced. Electric Ripshear Shredder Nife Hogs are heavy duty, high performance knife granulators, designed to act as a secondary shredder in conjuniction with primary shredders. They are capable of reducing tires, carpet, plastic, liners, and other types of material to a nominal 1/2 inch product. Rigid Arm Shredders describe a wide variety of heavy industrial shredders capable of reducing large volumes of waste material and shredding it to a nominal 2 inches for the sake of baling or continuing of fi berization. Rigid Arm Shredder ROLL CRUSHERS Nife Hog Hydraulic Ripshear Shredder Williams manfactures a wide selection of both Single and Double Roll Crushers. Single Roll Crushers are simple in design and heavy in construction. They are built to be long lasting, economical, and versitile. Single Roll Crushers are usually used in processing a variety of materials from a nominal 24 inches down to a nominal minus 1 inch output product. Double Roll Crusher Double Roll Crushers are large, high precision crushing units capable of controlling the output product at a very consistant rate. The Williams patented adjustment roll design (U.S. Patent #6,685,118) allows for changing the roll gap on a very small incremental basis. This adjustment can be made manually while the unit is running or connected to a servo motor. AIR CLASSIFICATION Williams manufactures a complete line of Air Classifi ers that can be integrated with air swept mills or stand-alone de-dusting operations. Mechanical Air Separators have a built-in air system and are perfect for de-dusting minerals or used where materials that may have heavy or light contaminants in the product. Single Roll Crushers Spinner Separators are simple air classifi ers incorporated into an existing air system or an air swept mill. This allows precise control of the top size as it leaves the air column. High Efficiency Turbine Separators are also used with air swept mills where effi ciency and ultra fi neness are a consideration. Isokinetic Separators are used when trying to produce a product that is very steep on the product curve such as fl uid bed sorbent products. Velocity Separators are the simplest in design and are utilized in processes where sizing does not have to be so exact. Turbine Separator Mechanical Air Separator 7

Williams produces a variety of equipment for the wood industry, including paper, pulp, and recycling. We also manufacture a wide line of different types of crushers to facilitate recycling or handling of fuel-based products. WOOD PRODUCTS No-Nife Hogs We manufacture a wide variety of these heavy duty mills. They are used in processing wet bark or dry kiln lumber to make either fuel for boilers or for recycling into other products. Rotary Disc Screens are used primarily in the bark and wood industries for high speed separation of oversized and undersized components and have also been used in the municipal solid fuel waste and coal industries. They are frequently used as a feeder and separator at the same time, allowing the bypass of presized material around the primary crushers. Nife Chippers are slow speed, high torque grinders with a hydraulic operated ram type feeder. These units are primarily used in low capacity dump-and-run type operations where wood waste or other types of materials need to be reduced or destroyed for increasing bulk density or recycling at a later date. Horizontal Feed Hogs are side entry horizontal feed Hammer Mills and are available with power roll attachments. These mills are used for wood waste that tends to be long and stringy and/or where ceiling heights create feeding limitations.
