6-7T/H Corn Grinder For Cattle in USA

Customer Identity: Large Beef Cattle Ranch in Kentucky

The customer operates a large commercial cattle farm with approximately 2,500 Angus and crossbred steers. They provide custom-formulated feed daily to growing and finishing groups. Rather than buying full feed mill lines, they focused on improving grinding capacity with a single high‑efficiency machine, integrating with their existing mixer and pellet mill.

Their goal: crush corn more consistently and quickly to match their 25‑ton/day feed throughput.

Equipment Selection: SFSP66×80 Feed Grinder for Domestic Corn Crushing

RICHI selected the SFSP66×80 corn grinder model for this operation. This animal feed hammer mill offered the right balance between capacity and power compatibility with the local 480 V three‑phase supply at the farm.

Specifications of the corn grinder for cattle in USA:

• Model: SFSP66×80
• Rotor diameter: 660 mm
• Crushing chamber width: 800 mm
• Rotating speed: 2980 rpm
• Hammer line speed: 103 m/s
• Power requirement: 75 kW
• Throughput capacity: 6–7 tons/hour

Perfectly matching the ranch’s daily need—run for 4 hours per day to meet feed volume without idling the mill.

Feedstock: American Corn-Based Cattle Feed Ration

In the United States, corn is the primary energy grain in cattle ration, accounting for over 95 percent of feed grain usage . The ranch’s standard feed mix comprises approximately:

• Corn grain (70 %) – locally sourced from Kansas and Indiana
• Soybean meal (20 %) – processed meal imported from Midwest crushers
• Wheat middlings or oats (5 %) – regional by-products
• Vitamin‑mineral premix (5 %)

The SFSP66×80 corn grinder for cattle in USA efficiently crushes dry corn kernels into uniform particle sizes, ideal for blend consistency and improved rumen fermentation . The crushed output then enters their existing horizontal mixer and a low‑capacity pellet mill.

Role of the Grinder: Fueling Growth and Efficiency

The corn grinder for cattle feed serves as the cornerstone of the feed processing operation:

• Delivers consistent, fine grind for better digestibility
• Reduces mixing time and separation during transport
• Enables on-demand feed production with flexible ratio adjustments
• Helps reduce power spikes during production because previous mill had frequent jams

By addressing the bottleneck, feed throughput increased by 30%, with more uniform particle size distribution, helping cattle to convert feed more efficiently and gain weight faster.

Logistics & Shipping: Delivered via Port of Houston

RICHI shipped the cattle feed crusher machine via sea freight to the Port of Houston, Texas, one of the busiest U.S. cargo ports handling agricultural equipment and livestock feed machinery . The port’s capacity to manage heavy and specialized equipment made it ideal.

From Houston, equipment was trucked about 700 miles to Kentucky. RICHI coordinated:

• Export documentation
• Customs clearance
• Flatbed transport and unloading
• Wooden crate packaging and insurance

The end‑to‑end shipping, customs, and on‑site delivery process took about 28 days, medium for inland deliveries in the U.S.

Installation, Training & After‑Sales Support

Though the purchase was a single animal feed grinding machine, RICHI provided full technical service support:

• Installation blueprint and machine positioning drawing
• Remote setup guidance via video call
• Operator training for two feed‑mill staff
• Maintenance scheduling, spare‑part listing, and lubrication plan
• 12‑month post‑sale technical helpline access

The farm noted in feedback: “RICHI's US support team responded to our questions within hours, and the manuals were clear enough for our staff to commission the grinder without expert visits.”

Customer Feedback & Performance Metrics

After two months of use, the ranch reported:

• Grinding cycle down by 35%
• Uniform feed mix, with significantly fewer fines or coarse particles
• Improved feed conversion: average daily gain improved by 4%
• Lower maintenance cost: fewer replacements of hammers and screens vs. old mill
• Manager commented: “We saved about $2 per ton ground compared to outsourcing, and the consistency gives our cattle better growth—clear win.”
