This is a project regarding a hay hammer mill in Uruguay. Uruguay, known for its extensive livestock industry and high-quality forage production, has witnessed a growing need for efficient feed processing solutions. A mid-sized forage processing facility and cattle farm in southern Uruguay recently invested in a hay hammer mill in Uruguay to improve the consistency and quality of their cattle feed.
The customer’s operation previously relied on manual chopping and small shredders, which could not efficiently handle the volume of locally harvested grass bales. To enhance productivity and feed quality, the customer decided to purchase two units of SFSP66*60 hay hammer mills as single machines to integrate with existing feed processing equipment.
These units are part of a gradual expansion plan, allowing the customer to evaluate machine performance before potential future upgrades to a full forage processing line.
Name:
Country:
Uruguay
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.0–1.5 tons per hour
Model:
SFSP66*60
Main Motor Power:
55 kW
Raw Materials:
ryegrass and fescue hay bale
Final product size:
2–4 mm
The customer operates a combined forage processing and cattle feeding farm, focusing primarily on beef and dairy cattle. The farm maintains multiple grass cultivation plots, including ryegrass, fescue, and mixed meadow grass, which are baled after harvest. The main challenge faced by the client was inconsistent particle size from manual chopping and smaller mills, resulting in uneven feed quality and variable intake among cattle.
The purchase of two SFSP66*60 hay hammer mills served several purposes:
These hay hammer mills in Uruguay were newly purchased single units, rather than replacements, intended to complement the client’s existing equipment, which includes a bale breaker, forage grinder, and rotary dryer.
The primary raw materials for this project are ryegrass and fescue hay bales, with a small portion of oat straw for fiber balance. Key preparation steps include:
The selected SFSP66*60 model has the following specifications:
This configuration matches the farm’s medium-scale operations, providing a balance between throughput and particle size consistency.
The SFSP66*60 hay hammer mill in Uruguay offers several operational advantages:
These features make the hammer mill ideal for cattle feed preparation, particularly for beef and dairy operations in Uruguay where forage quality directly affects animal performance and farm profitability.
Since installation, the customer has reported significant improvements:
The SFSP66*60 hay hammer mill in Uruguay provides the flexibility to adjust feed recipes, experiment with fiber content, and maintain consistent quality, contributing to both operational efficiency and livestock performance.
The hay crusher machines were shipped from China via Port of Montevideo, Uruguay’s main international port. RICHI Machinery handled:
This ensured that both units were fully operational immediately upon delivery, minimizing downtime and allowing the farm to continue feed production without disruption.
“The SFSP66*60 hay hammer mills have transformed our feed preparation. We now have consistent, finely ground hay, and our cattle consume feed more efficiently. RICHI’s technical support was excellent—they guided us through installation and operation, making the process seamless. We are already considering additional units for increased capacity.”
