2–7 T/H Corn Hammer Mill in Philippines

Client Profile and Motivation

The client is a family-owned feed processing company that produces poultry, swine, and cattle feed for local markets. The main motivations for purchasing the SFSP66*80 corn hammer mills included:

• Efficient processing of whole corn, corn cobs, husks, and stalks
• Achieving uniform particle size for high-quality feed pellets and biomass products
• Reducing waste from corn milling and converting by-products into economic value
• Testing standalone equipment for scalability before committing to a larger production line

By choosing standalone hammer mills, the client ensured minimal disruption to existing operations while gaining the ability to diversify product lines. This approach allowed them to meet immediate production needs while planning for future expansion.

Equipment Selection and Specifications

Considering the client’s operational requirements and raw material characteristics, the SFSP66*80 hammer mills were selected with the following specifications:

• Rotor diameter: 660 mm
• Crushing chamber width: 800 mm
• Rotating speed: 2980 rpm
• Hammer line speed: 103 m/s
• Power: 75 kW per unit
• Production capacity:
  • Grains: 6–7 T/H
  • Straw/stalks: 2–2.5 T/H
  • Wood chips or other biomass: 2–2.5 T/H

These corn hammer mills in Philippines feature a water-drop-shaped crushing chamber that efficiently pulverizes materials up to 5 cm in size. With customizable sieve plates, the mills can produce final product powders ranging from 0.5 mm to 20 mm. This versatility allows the client to produce feed powders for various livestock types, as well as biomass pellets from corn residues.

Raw Materials and Processing Goals

In the Philippines, corn by-products are readily available and serve as key raw materials for feed and biomass production. The client primarily processes:

• Whole corn kernels: Main ingredient for feed production
• Corn cobs and husks: Used to produce biomass pellets and blended feed
• Small corn stalks: Pulverized into fibrous material for livestock bedding and feed fiber content

The SFSP66*80 corn hammer mills in Philippines were utilized to:

1. Grind whole corn into 1–2 mm fine powder for feed pellet manufacturing
2. Pulverize corn cobs and husks into 2–4 mm powders suitable for biomass pellets and feed fiber
3. Process small corn stalks into 3–5 mm material for bedding and fiber enrichment in cattle feed

The adjustable sieve system ensured uniform particle size, reducing pellet machine wear, increasing pellet density, and improving feed digestibility for livestock.

Transportation and Logistics

The two SFSP66*80 corn hammer mill machines were shipped via sea freight to the Port of Manila, one of the Philippines’ main industrial ports. RICHI Machinery provided full logistical support, including customs clearance, inland transportation to Mindanao, and on-site installation supervision. This service minimized downtime, ensuring the client could begin processing corn immediately after delivery and installation.

Operational Benefits and Client Feedback

Once operational, the client observed significant improvements in their milling operations:

• Stable throughput of 6–7 T/H for corn and 2–2.5 T/H for corn residues
• Uniform particle size, enhancing feed pellet quality and biomass pellet density
• Reduced energy consumption due to efficient hammer design and airflow optimization
• Easy material switching through adjustable sieves, supporting multiple feed formulations
• Reversible rotor design, extending hammer lifespan and reducing maintenance needs

“The RICHI corn feed hammer mills have revolutionized our processing capabilities. We can now efficiently grind corn, husks, and stalks into consistent powders for our feed and biomass products. The machines are easy to operate, and RICHI’s team guided us through installation, training, and optimization. We now have a solution that is reliable and adaptable for future expansion.”

The client highlighted that purchasing standalone units allowed them to expand without disrupting ongoing operations, a major benefit over investing in a full-scale line immediately.
