This is a project about a chicken feed grinder machine in Italy. The customer, primarily a feed manufacturer specializing in balanced feed formulations for broiler and layer chickens, was looking for a reliable, standalone grain grinder to improve the quality and efficiency of their feed milling operations.

This is a project about a chicken feed grinder machine in Italy. In mid-2025, a medium-sized feed mill located in northern Italy sought to enhance its poultry feed production by upgrading their grinding capabilities. The customer, primarily a feed manufacturer specializing in balanced feed formulations for broiler and layer chickens, was looking for a reliable, standalone grain grinder to improve the quality and efficiency of their feed milling operations.
This project involved purchasing a single grain grinder machine, specifically a water-drop style hammer mill, to replace an older, less efficient unit. The customer planned to integrate this grinder with their existing chicken feed production line — which includes mixer machines, poultry feed pellet machines, and packaging equipment — to optimize raw material processing. The decision to purchase this single machine stemmed from the need to upgrade just the grinding stage without overhauling the entire plant.

This model chicken feed grinder machine in Italy fits well with medium-sized feed mills common in Italy and meets the feed mill’s production demand efficiently.
Italy’s poultry feed formulations predominantly utilize corn, wheat, barley, and soybean meal, supplemented by vitamin premixes and mineral additives. Corn and wheat serve as primary energy sources, barley adds fiber and bulk, while soybean meal provides essential proteins.
The RICHI hammer mill crusher machine’s role is to pulverize these grains to an optimal particle size between 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm, essential for good pellet quality and improved feed digestibility. The finely ground grains are then blended with other ingredients to produce nutritionally balanced pellets that support healthy poultry growth.
This particle size range matches Italy’s poultry nutrition standards, ensuring the feed meets regulatory and industry expectations for pellet durability and nutrient availability.
These improvements helped the feed mill better meet local poultry farmers’ demands while optimizing operational costs.
The chicken feed grinder machine was shipped via sea freight and arrived at the Port of Genoa, one of Italy’s major maritime gateways, ensuring smooth customs clearance and timely delivery.
“The RICHI chicken feed grinder machine has been a game-changer for our feed mill. The machine runs smoothly with minimal downtime, and the feed quality improvements have been noticed by our customers. The RICHI team was very professional and responsive throughout the purchasing and installation process.”
