      abstract = {The study is based on optimization of comminution process parameters in particulate fiber development. The influence of comminution process parameters were considered in determining optimum performance of an improved hammer mill. The comminution process control parameters ranged from speed (1450-2000 rpm), hammer weight (40-70g), fiber input (250-363g) and operating time (5-25min). The experiment was conducted following 29 run for different fiber milling conditions.  The optimum conditions for the process were predicted using central composite design (CCD) of quadratic regression models. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed the adequacy of the developed model considering significant terms in order to predict the machine efficiency and throughput. The set of conditions that simultaneously optimized both grinding efficiency and throughput value comprises 1946 rpm of speed, 66g of hammer weight, 351g fiber input and 23min of operating time.},
