A private medium-scale dairy cooperative recently purchased an alfalfa hammer mill in Italy to improve forage processing efficiency and feed consistency.
This is a project about the alfalfa hammer mill in Italy. Italy, renowned for its rich dairy and livestock farming culture, has a growing demand for high-quality cattle feed. In the Lombardy region, one of Italy's major dairy-producing areas, a private medium-scale dairy cooperative recently purchased an alfalfa hammer mill in Italy to improve forage processing efficiency and feed consistency.
Previously, the cooperative relied on manual chopping and small-scale hammer mills, resulting in inconsistent particle size and lower feed quality for their dairy cows. With the expansion of their dairy herd and an increase in production demands, the cooperative decided to acquire a single SFSP66*100 alfalfa hammer mill. This crusher machine complements their existing bale breaker and rotary dryer, forming a more efficient pre-processing system for their alfalfa-based feed.

The customer is a medium-sized dairy cooperative supplying milk to local and regional markets. Their motivation for purchasing the SFSP66*100 alfalfa hammer mill includes:
This purchase represents a new addition to their existing forage processing line. Unlike a replacement, this single hammer mill allows the cooperative to scale up feed production and experiment with different alfalfa and mixed forage formulations without disrupting ongoing operations.
The cooperative primarily uses locally grown Italian alfalfa and occasionally mixes in wheat straw for fiber enrichment. The material preparation process includes:
The chosen model, SFSP66*100, offers the following specifications:
This setup ensures the cooperative can meet its current feed production demands while allowing for future expansion.
The SFSP66*100 alfalfa hammer mill in Italy provides several operational advantages:
This hammer mill is essential for the cooperative’s pellet feed production, ensuring that dairy cows receive high-quality, uniform feed that supports milk yield and herd health.
Since installation, the cooperative has experienced significant improvements:
The SFSP66*100 hammer mill has become an integral part of the cooperative's feed processing operations, enhancing both efficiency and feed quality.
The hammer mill was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Genoa, Italy’s main import hub for industrial equipment. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive services, including:
These services allowed the cooperative to begin production immediately upon arrival, minimizing downtime and optimizing operational efficiency.
“The SFSP66*100 alfalfa hammer mill has transformed our forage processing. Alfalfa and wheat straw are consistently ground to 3–4 mm, improving feed uniformity and pellet quality. RICHI Machinery’s team supported us throughout installation and training. We are extremely satisfied and planning to expand our feed processing line with another hammer mill soon.”
Italian dairy farms choose RICHI Machinery for:
