This is a project about corn grinder for chicken feed in Colombia. This purchase was a replacement of their original grinding unit, aiming to increase production efficiency without immediately purchasing a full feed production line.
This is a project about corn grinder for chicken feed in Colombia. In mid-2024, a rapidly expanding poultry feed factory located in the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia invested in a standalone corn grinder for chicken feed. The factory produces balanced feed formulations primarily for broilers and layers distributed to commercial poultry farms throughout western Colombia.
The factory previously used an older multi-purpose hammer mill with frequent downtime and inconsistent grinding results. The customer decided to invest in a dedicated corn grinding machine to ensure consistent particle size and improve feed quality. This purchase was a replacement of their original grinding unit, aiming to increase production efficiency without immediately purchasing a full chicken feed production line.
The new machine would work alongside their existing mixers, pelletizers, and storage equipment to optimize the milling section specifically for corn, a major raw material in their formulations.

This model fits the production scale and energy consumption preferences, providing reliable corn grinding capacity for their chicken feed manufacturing.
Colombian poultry feed production primarily involves:
The corn grinder’s role is to process whole corn kernels into uniformly fine particles ideal for mixing and pelleting, improving nutrient availability for poultry.
This water-drop style hammer mill is designed specifically for grain crushing, delivering benefits such as:
In Colombia’s feed industry, where corn quality and availability fluctuate seasonally, having a reliable corn grinder helps maintain feed consistency and production uptime.
The corn grinder was shipped from China to Colombia by sea, arriving at the Port of Cartagena, Colombia’s main Pacific and Caribbean gateway for international cargo. From Cartagena, the equipment was transported inland to the factory location in Valle del Cauca.
RICHI Machinery assisted with export documentation, customs clearance, and logistics coordination to ensure smooth delivery and installation.
Two months after installation, the feed mill manager provided the following feedback:
“Switching to the SFSP56×40 corn grinder has improved our grinding consistency dramatically. The machine runs smoothly with minimal maintenance, and energy consumption is noticeably lower. RICHI’s team was professional throughout the process, from pre-sale consultation to installation and training. We feel confident investing further in RICHI equipment as we grow.”
Though this was a single crusher machine purchase, RICHI Machinery offered:
Our professional after-sales service ensures Colombian customers feel supported in their equipment investment and production goals.
