For over decade and a half, U.S. Manufacturing, Inc. has developed, designed, manufacturered and distributed innovative equipment for the entire solid waste and recycling industry. USM is widely recognized as the leading manufacturer of the longest lasting and most efficient hammer mill components available for both Original Equipment Manufacturers and after market replacement parts. The USM product line includes precision machined swing and fixed hammers; forged, infused Tungsten Carbide tips; and blended alloy, hammer mill grates.
Loran Balvanz, President and CEO of U.S. Manufacturing, founded the largest wood waste processing company in the United States. During this period, Loran recognized the need for an enterprise dedicated to making quality, durable, replacement wear parts. In 1993 U.S. Manufacturing was formed for that sole and dedicated purpose.
You can now take advantage of millions of tons of testing and processing experience for your tub grinder or horizontal feeder. If USM doesn't make your part, just ask, we will! If it's custom welded parts you need, we will do that too!
As a leading manufacturer and distributor of tub grinder wear parts, U.S. Manufacturing is aggressively pursuing other clientele wanting to capitalize on our expertise of wear surface maintenance.
ENABLES THE USM TEAM TO OFFER A UNIQUE ALTERNATIVE FOR EXTREME WEAR PARTS APPLICATIONS
The USM Engineering staff uses computer aided drafting which allows us to see how changes in design effect the internal working of your equipment. This feature also allows USM to maintain precise measurements to assure proper fit and function.
Our engineers communicate with the operators in the field regularly to develop new products and follow up on our existing products. At USM we analyze key stress and wear points to give you a superior product.
The USM team of experts utilize several area universities and a multitude of other manufacturers and vendors to stay abreast of the latest industry developments.
"The USM Production Plus Hammer is by far the most durable and productive hammer on the market. Since I purchased these parts in 1999, I have run them 1,600 - 1,700 hours per machine per year. When is the last time anyone you know (using proper care and regular machine maintenance) ran hammers for two years and more? I guess that's the reason they're patented!"

"I have tried tub grinder tips from 4 or 5 other companies and USM has the most Tungsten Carbide on their tips. USM's wearing capabilities always outlast their competitors. Their service is great - I always get my orders in a prompt and timely manner."
-John Guillemette, Southern Minnesota Construction
"Since we began using USM wear parts years ago we have had no reason to look anywhere else. Their quality and pricing is unparalleled in the industry. The attentive service we receive from Laurie has made it a pleasure doing business with USM. we are currently using the Production Plus hammers in one of our machines in a high abrasion application and have found they have made a positive difference in both tip life and production."
"U.S. Manufacturing has provided us with many different styles and sizes of tips for our various grinders. We like their products and have always found them to be competively priced."
