A hammermill is presented which includes a plurality of hammers each presenting an arcuate striking profile. The hammermill includes a rotor having rods for swingable carrying the hammers thereon and a motor for rotating the rotor. The hammers are longitudinally spaced along the rotor and preferably helically arrayed thereabout. The hammers present a head and a body, the head having an arcuate striking face which may include a point. As the rotor turns, the hammers are free to swing on the rods and comminute material fed into the hammermill. The hammers preferably present symmetrical striking profiles whereby after one profile becomes worn, the position of the hammer on the rod may be reversed to increase the useful life thereof.
