A mid-sized dairy farm and forage processing facility in central Chile recently invested in a hay hammer mill in Chile to process baled hay and local straw into finely ground feed for dairy cattle.
This is a project about a hay hammer mill in Chile. Chile’s agricultural sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly in livestock farming, which drives a high demand for quality animal feed. A mid-sized dairy farm and forage processing facility in central Chile recently invested in a hay hammer mill in Chile to process baled hay and local straw into finely ground feed for dairy cattle.
The client opted for a single SFSP66*80 hay hammer mill to complement their existing feed production line. This purchase is part of a phased expansion strategy: rather than investing immediately in a complete processing line, the customer wanted a single, reliable machine to test processing efficiency, particle size uniformity, and feed digestibility for the dairy herd.

The customer operates a mixed livestock and forage processing farm, producing high-quality dairy milk and managing hay cultivation across 50 hectares. They previously relied on manual chopping and small-scale shredders, which were inefficient and resulted in uneven particle size, limiting feed conversion efficiency.
The single-unit SFSP66*80 hay hammer mill in Chile was purchased with specific objectives:
This hay hammer mill in Chile is newly purchased rather than a replacement. The client wanted to integrate it with existing equipment, including a bale breaker, forage grinder, and rotary dryer, ensuring that hay and straw are at optimal moisture and particle size for pelleting or direct mixing.
The primary raw materials are Chilean alfalfa hay bales, oat straw, and small quantities of barley straw. Preparation included:
The chosen SFSP66*80 model features:
This configuration perfectly matches the client’s medium-scale operation and the availability of local hay and straw varieties.
The SFSP66*80 hay hammer mill in Chile offers multiple benefits:
These features make the machine an excellent choice for livestock feed preparation, particularly in Chile’s dairy farming context.
Since installation, the client has observed notable operational improvements:
The SFSP66*80 hay hammer mill provides the flexibility to adjust feed recipes and produce uniform feed blends, directly impacting farm productivity and profitability.
The hay crusher machine was shipped from China via Port of Valparaíso, Chile’s major international port. RICHI Machinery handled:
This ensured the machine was operational immediately upon arrival, minimizing downtime for the client.
“The SFSP66*80 hay hammer mill has been a game-changer for our dairy feed production. Ground hay is consistent, and cows are consuming feed more efficiently. RICHI’s support team guided us through installation and training, making the transition smooth. We are considering an additional unit for higher capacity next season.”
