This is a project about a hay hammer mill in Kenya. In Kenya, where livestock farming is a vital economic activity, a medium-sized feed mill specialized in producing high-quality cattle and sheep feed pellets sought to upgrade its forage grinding capability. The client operates in a competitive local market that demands consistent feed quality and efficiency to sustain profitability.
This feed mill opted to purchase a single hay hammer mill unit to improve their forage grinding process. The reason for acquiring a single machine instead of a full feed production line upgrade was twofold: first, to replace an older, inefficient hammer mill; second, to complement their existing equipment, including mixers and pellet presses.
The hay hammer mill’s primary role in this project is to grind coarse forage materials from baled hay broken down by a de-baler, preparing raw materials for the pelletizing process.

Kenyan livestock feed production relies on a variety of locally available forage and crop residues, which this hay hammer mill is designed to process efficiently:
The raw material typically arrives in large bales, which are broken down by a de-baler into manageable chunks before entering the hammer mill. The hammer mill then grinds the forage to a target particle size of about 1.5 mm, optimal for pellet formation and digestion by cattle and sheep.
This hay hammer mill in Kenya plays a crucial role in the feed production chain by:
The hay hammer mill was delivered by sea to the Port of Mombasa, the main gateway for industrial equipment entering Kenya. Mombasa Port’s strategic location ensures smooth customs clearance and timely transport to inland feed mill locations.
“Switching to the SFSP66*80 hay hammer mill has transformed our forage grinding process. It’s much more reliable and consistent than our previous mill, which led to improved pellet quality and better feed conversion ratios in our cattle and sheep herds. The support from RICHI Machinery during installation and commissioning was excellent — they really understand our needs and helped us get started quickly.”
This Kenyan hay hammer mill project demonstrates how RICHI Machinery can provide tailored forage grinding solutions that meet the demands of medium-scale feed mills producing cattle and sheep pellets. The SFSP66*80 model balances capacity, efficiency, and durability — delivering uniform particle size for excellent pellet quality and livestock performance.
