This is a project about a hay hammer mill in Ethiopia. The unit specifically targets the grinding of de-baled forage material, which is crucial in preparing raw materials for subsequent mixing and pelletizing stages.

This is a project about a hay hammer mill in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia’s expanding livestock sector, a large-scale feed mill dedicated to producing cattle and sheep feed pellets recognized the need to upgrade its forage grinding capabilities to meet growing demand. The client operates in a competitive market where consistent feed quality and production efficiency are critical.
This customer chose to invest in a single hay hammer mill unit rather than a complete feed line overhaul. The unit specifically targets the grinding of de-baled forage material, which is crucial in preparing raw materials for subsequent mixing and pelletizing stages. This single-machine purchase complements their existing equipment, allowing a focused improvement in forage size reduction without disrupting overall operations.

Ethiopia’s livestock feed industry relies heavily on local forages and crop residues, including:
The raw materials come from large hay bales broken by a de-baler machine. The hay hammer mill in Ethiopia then processes these bales into finely ground forage, targeting a particle size of 1.2 to 1.8 mm. This particle size optimizes feed pellet formation and enhances digestibility for cattle and sheep.
The SFSP66*100 hay hammer mill in Ethiopia serves a pivotal role in improving feed quality and production flow:
The hay hammer mill was shipped via sea freight to Djibouti Port, the primary gateway for Ethiopia’s imported industrial equipment. Djibouti Port offers efficient customs clearance and logistics support, ensuring smooth delivery to the feed mill.
“The SFSP66*100 crusher machine from RICHI has significantly improved our forage processing efficiency. Our elephant grass and maize stover are ground more consistently, leading to better pellet quality and feed conversion in our cattle operations. The equipment’s reliability and energy efficiency have exceeded expectations. RICHI’s team provided excellent support during delivery and installation, making the entire process hassle-free.”
