This is a project regarding animal feed corn hammer mills in Nigeria. The client needed a single, high-efficiency hammer mill that could process corn kernels, stalks, and husks independently, supplementing their existing feed setup.
This is a project regarding animal feed corn hammer mills in Nigeria. Nigeria, as Africa’s largest agricultural producer, has a significant livestock and poultry sector. Corn is widely cultivated across the Middle Belt region, including states such as Benue, Kaduna, and Kwara. Despite abundant raw materials, many feed mills struggle with inconsistent feed quality due to old grinding equipment and limited capacity to handle both grains and agricultural residues.
A mid-sized feed processing company in central Nigeria decided to purchase animal feed corn hammer mills as standalone machines. Unlike integrating into a full animal feed production line, the client needed a single, high-efficiency hammer mill that could process corn kernels, stalks, and husks independently, supplementing their existing feed setup. The aim was to increase production reliability, reduce wastage, and produce feed with precise particle sizes suitable for poultry and piglets.
Name:
corn feed hammer mill
Country:
Nigeria
Date:
2025
Capacity:
3–22 tons per hour
Model:
SFSP66*100
Main Motor Power:
160 kW
Raw Materials:
Corn, Corn stalks, Corn cobs
Final Particle Size:
0.5–20 mm
The client is a feed producer primarily focusing on broiler, layer, and pig starter feeds. For this project, the raw materials selected for grinding included:
The client opted for SFSP66*100 hammer mill, which provides a crushing chamber width of 1000 mm and a rotor diameter of 660 mm, with a rated capacity of 20–22 tons per hour for grains and 3–4 tons per hour for stalks. The machine is powered by a 160 kW motor, rotating at 2980 rpm, offering stable performance and high efficiency for mixed corn materials. Two units were purchased to allow alternating operation, ensuring continuous feed production even during maintenance periods.
The animal feed corn feed hammer mills were configured to crush materials smaller than 5 cm into 0.5–20 mm particles, depending on the sieve installed. The client primarily produced:
The adjustable sieves allowed the client to vary particle size to match different feed formulas, ensuring nutritional consistency and improved feed conversion ratios. With two hammer mills in operation, the company achieved higher throughput with lower energy consumption, minimizing downtime and operational fluctuations.
For this project, the animal feed corn feed hammer mills were shipped via sea freight to the Port of Lagos, Nigeria’s primary international port. From there, the equipment was transported to the client’s facility in central Nigeria using specialized trucks, ensuring safe and timely delivery.
The client highlighted that the equipment’s durability and low maintenance requirements made it a cost-effective investment, and the modular design allowed easy future integration with a full feed production line.
"The SFSP66*100 hammer mills have transformed our feed production. We now achieve consistent particle size across different raw materials, and production downtime has decreased significantly. The machines are robust, energy-efficient, and easy to operate. RICHI Machinery’s support during installation and training was excellent, making the whole process smooth."
The client also appreciated the technical guidance provided by RICHI Machinery’s engineers on choosing optimal sieves and configuring the feed deflectors to match various feed types.
The animal feed corn hammer mills in Nigeria project demonstrates how standalone hammer mills can provide feed processors with flexibility, efficiency, and consistent output without requiring a full production line. By selecting SFSP66*100 hammer mills, the client successfully improved grinding performance, reduced reliance on imported processed feed, and increased overall operational efficiency.
The project also highlights RICHI Machinery’s expertise in supplying tailored solutions for diverse agricultural contexts, providing high-quality, versatile equipment and professional technical support. For feed producers in regions like Nigeria, investing in such hammer mills represents a smart step toward modernizing production while maximizing local raw material utilization.
| Country | Model & Output | Raw Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Nigeria | SFSP66*100, Grains: 20–22 T/H, Stalks: 3–4 T/H | Corn kernels, stalks, cobs, husks |
| Applications | Port | Client Feedback |
| Feed production for poultry and piglets, mixed feed inclusion | Port of Lagos | Consistent particle size, reduced downtime, energy-efficient, easy to operate |
