This is a project regarding a chicken feed grinding machine in Chile. The customer’s primary motivation for acquiring this grinding machine was to replace an aging, inefficient hammer mill that often experienced breakdowns and produced inconsistent particle sizes.
This is a project regarding a chicken feed grinding machine in Chile. In late 2024, a medium-sized poultry feed mill located in the Araucanía region of southern Chile decided to improve its feed processing capabilities by purchasing a standalone chicken feed grinding machine. The feed mill supplies commercial poultry farms across the region, producing broiler and layer feeds with an emphasis on high nutritional value and cost efficiency.
The customer’s primary motivation for acquiring this grinding machine was to replace an aging, inefficient hammer mill that often experienced breakdowns and produced inconsistent particle sizes. Instead of investing in a full chicken feed production line immediately, the customer opted for a stepwise upgrade, starting with a high-performance feed grinder, essential for pre-processing raw grains before mixing and pelleting.
This single-unit purchase was part of a broader strategy to improve feed quality and reduce production downtime while allowing budget flexibility to expand the feed mill gradually.

The feed crusher machine’s capacity aligns well with the mill’s two-shift operational schedule, providing consistent grinding output to meet the feed blending and pelleting stages.
Chile’s poultry feed industry primarily relies on a combination of corn, wheat, soybean meal, fishmeal, and various additives. This feed mill’s grinding machine mainly processes:
The chicken feed grinding machine in Chile handles crushing the whole grains like corn and wheat bran to uniform fine particles (typically under 2.5 mm), crucial for efficient mixing and pelleting.
This chicken feed grinding machine in Chile plays a critical role in the feed mill’s production line by:
The chicken feed grinding machine’s robust design and high hammer speed ensure it can withstand the demands of Chile’s feed production environment, characterized by mixed domestic and imported raw materials.
RICHI Machinery coordinated sea freight logistics from China to Chile, with the equipment arriving at the Port of Valparaíso, the main commercial hub on Chile’s Pacific coast. From there, the machine was transported by road to the feed mill site in the Araucanía region, approximately 700 kilometers south.
RICHI’s team provided comprehensive assistance, including:
Three months after installation, the feed mill manager shared his feedback:
“The SFSP66×60 grinding machine has been a game-changer. Our feed quality is now much more consistent, and we have almost zero downtime compared to the old grinder. The energy consumption is noticeably lower, which helps reduce costs. Our staff found it straightforward to operate, and the support from RICHI during installation and commissioning was excellent. We are already discussing with them the next steps to upgrade our pelletizing section.”
Though this was a standalone chicken feed grinding machine order, RICHI Machinery provided a full suite of services including:
RICHI’s dedication to after-sales service gives customers confidence that their investment is secure and backed by expert knowledge.
