Vieira MCD hammer mill manual
Updated on By Moinhos Vieira – technical team
The MCD Series Instruction Manual is supplied with the mill on delivery and is not available for download. To request another copy, contact technical assistance and give the model shown on the mill identification plate.
The manual brings together the guidance for installing, operating and maintaining the mill with two grinding chambers, and is delivered together with the equipment. As technical material from Moinhos Vieira, it is not available for download on the website: mill owners request their copy from technical assistance.

- The mill: how the double centrifugal system works, with pre-grinding in the first chamber and final grinding in the second, the identification plate, the main and internal parts and the technical specifications.
- Installation: location and layout of the mill, the two possible set-ups (double grinding in sequence or independent chambers), screens, the interconnecting and cyclone pipes, the cyclone tripod and the bag filter.
- Operation: checks before switching on, electrical connection, motor starter and feeding the mill.
- Maintenance: replacing and turning the hammers, lubricating and replacing the bearings, belts, sealing rubbers, rotor balancing and spare parts.
- Troubleshooting: symptom, probable cause and what to do.
- Annexes: bearings and split bearing housings, V-belts, unloading and electrical installation, balancing, maintenance log and grounding.
