This is a project about a cattle feed grinder machine in Zimbabwe. A large-scale cattle feed mill located near tobacco-producing regions sought to improve their feed production by incorporating a dedicated grinder to process tobacco stalks as a primary roughage ingredient in cattle feed.
This is a project about a cattle feed grinder machine in Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe, agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy, with livestock farming being one of the significant contributors. Tobacco farming is also widespread in the country, generating a considerable amount of tobacco stalks (straw) as agricultural residue.
A large-scale cattle feed mill located near tobacco-producing regions sought to improve their feed production by incorporating a dedicated grinder to process tobacco stalks as a primary roughage ingredient in cattle feed.
The customer chose to invest in a single cattle feed grinder machine rather than a full production line. This choice was motivated by their existing pelletizing and mixing equipment that was operating efficiently.
The new grinder would replace an older, less efficient grinder that struggled with fibrous and tough tobacco stalks, limiting throughput and feed consistency. Purchasing the single grinder machine was a strategic move to enhance feedstock preparation while avoiding disruption to the current feed production system.
Name:
cattle feed crusher
Country:
Zimbabwe
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.0 - 1.5 tons/hour
Model:
SFSP66*60
Main Motor Power:
55 kW
Rotating Speed:
2980 rpm
Hammer Line Speed:
103 m/s
Taking into account the client’s feed production volume and the roughage characteristics of tobacco stalks, the customer selected the SFSP66*60 feed crusher machine model:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Rotor Diameter | 660 mm |
| Crushing Chamber Width | 600 mm |
| Rotating Speed | 2980 rpm |
| Hammer Line Speed | 103 m/s |
| Power | 55 kW |
| Estimated Capacity | 1.0 - 1.5 tons/hour |
This model offers a suitable balance of power and throughput for processing tobacco stalks without over-investment, aligning well with the customer’s production needs.
Zimbabwean cattle feed formulation typically includes fibrous crop residues combined with energy-rich grains. Tobacco stalks, an abundant residue after harvest, have gained traction as a valuable fiber source to complement conventional roughages like maize stover and natural grasses.
The cattle feed grinder machine in Zimbabwe reduces these materials to a particle size of approximately 5 mm, ideal for optimal pellet formation and digestion by cattle. Tobacco stalks require powerful grinding due to their toughness, making the hammer mill design with high hammer line speed essential for efficient size reduction.
The SFSP66*60 cattle feed grinder machine in Zimbabwe plays a vital role in:
By upgrading to this high-performance cattle feed grinder, the feed mill can maximize utilization of local crop residues, lowering feed costs while maintaining nutritional standards for cattle.
RICHI Machinery ships equipment to Zimbabwe via sea freight, with deliveries arriving at the Port of Durban in neighboring South Africa. From Durban, the equipment is transported overland to the customer’s feed mill location within Zimbabwe.
After several months of operation, the feed mill’s production supervisor shared:
“The SFSP66*60 cattle feed grinder machine has transformed our feed preparation process. Tobacco stalks, which were once difficult to grind, are now efficiently processed into consistent particle sizes. This has improved our pellet quality and feed conversion rates. The RICHI team provided excellent after-sales support and technical guidance, ensuring smooth installation and operation.”
This case of a cattle feed grinder machine in Zimbabwe highlights how RICHI’s SFSP66*60 model addresses the specific needs of cattle feed producers using tobacco stalks and other local crop residues. The grinder’s powerful performance, optimal capacity, and durability make it an indispensable asset in producing high-quality cattle feed pellets.
Feed mills aiming to upgrade their roughage processing with minimal disruption will find RICHI’s standalone cattle feed grinders an excellent investment. With a deep understanding of Zimbabwean agricultural conditions and feedstock characteristics, RICHI Machinery is committed to delivering top-tier solutions that enhance feed production efficiency and profitability.
