This is a project about chicken feed grinder machine in Turkey. The customer already operated a horizontal feed mixer and pellet mill. The addition of a reliable grinder was critical to optimize ingredient uniformity before mixing, ensuring a consistent diet for layers and enhancing egg production.
This is a project about chicken feed grinder machine in Turkey. In the heart of Konya Province, a region known for its vast agricultural lands and growing poultry sector, a medium-sized layer farm faced mounting challenges in maintaining consistent feed quality while managing production costs. With around 40,000 laying hens, the farm had been relying on a locally made, outdated hammer mill that frequently caused irregular grind sizes, high energy consumption, and increased wear and tear.
Rather than replacing their entire feed processing setup, the farm opted to upgrade the grinding stage only by investing in a new, high-efficiency chicken feed grinder machine. After researching several international suppliers, they selected RICHI Machinery’s SFSP56*40 feed grinder, known for its robust design and suitability for Turkish grains like corn, wheat, and barley.

Name:
chicken feed crusher machine
Country:
Turkey
Date:
2024
Capacity:
3–5 tons/hour
Model:
SFSP56×40
Rotor Diameter:
560 mm
Crushing Chamber Width:
400 mm
Rotating Speed:
2980 rpm
To match the farm’s current feed production scale and available power infrastructure (rural Turkish farms typically operate on 380V 3-phase power with limited transformer load), RICHI recommended the SFSP56×40 chicken feed hammer mill:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Model | SFSP56×40 |
| Rotor Diameter | 560 mm |
| Crushing Chamber Width | 400 mm |
| Rotating Speed | 2980 rpm |
| Line Speed of Hammers | 88 m/s |
| Matched Power | 37 kW |
| Output Capacity | 3–5 tons/hour |
This model was a perfect fit—not too large to cause overinvestment, but powerful enough to meet daily grinding demands for a chicken layer feed formulation plant producing 7–8 tons per day.
Poultry feed in Turkey heavily relies on grain crops. Although corn is partly imported, wheat and barley are widely grown across central Anatolia, including Konya. Based on both economic considerations and ingredient availability, the farm uses the following typical chicken layer feed formula:
The chicken feed grinder machine in Turkey was primarily used to process dry corn kernels, wheat, and sunflower meal before these ingredients were mixed and pelleted.
The farm made a strategic choice to invest in a single grain grinder rather than a full pellet line. The reasons were clear:
The SFSP56×40 chicken feed crusher machine from RICHI solved these problems by delivering uniform particle sizes with lower energy input, contributing directly to stable egg yields and better shell strength.
RICHI Machinery shipped the grinder to Mersin Port, Turkey's largest Mediterranean port. From there, it was transported via flatbed truck overland to Konya (about 450 km inland). The transport process included:
The entire process from order confirmation to on-site arrival took approximately 28 days.
Although this was a single-unit purchase, RICHI treated the project with the same attention given to full chicken feed production lines. Services included:
The farm operators were impressed with the clear instructions, fast installation (under 5 hours), and immediate performance improvements.
Within two months of using the SFSP56×40 chicken feed grinder machine, the farm reported:
“We used to spend so much time clearing blockages and adjusting grind settings with our previous hammer mill. RICHI’s machine gave us a much-needed upgrade. The feed is now consistent, mixing is smoother, and our layers are doing better than before. Even though it’s just a single machine, the support we received made it feel like a full turnkey solution.”
As Turkey’s layer and broiler feed industry continues to expand, farms are increasingly looking to upgrade specific points of their production process without replacing entire lines.
The RICHI SFSP series chicken feed grinder machines stand out due to:
With options ranging from SFSP56×40 (3–5 T/H) for smaller farms to SFSP66×150 (40–50 T/H) for large commercial mills, the RICHI grinder series offers the flexibility and performance Turkish poultry farms need.
Following the successful implementation of the grinder, the farm is now exploring:
This case demonstrates how even a single machine purchase, when selected wisely and supported properly, can significantly improve feed consistency, reduce costs, and boost production on a layer farm.
The RICHI chicken feed grinder machine in Turkey is not just a piece of equipment—it’s a strategic solution for poultry producers aiming to stay competitive and efficient in a fast-evolving agricultural market.
