This is a project regarding a pig feed crusher in Germany. In 2025, a mid-sized pig farming operation located in Lower Saxony, Germany, approached RICHI Machinery with a clear objective: to enhance the efficiency and consistency of their feed processing by integrating a reliable pig feed crusher into their on-site feed preparation system.
The client operates a closed-cycle pig farm with around 2,000 finishing pigs, raising them from weaners to market weight. Previously, they relied on outsourced feed that often fluctuated in nutritional quality and cost. Seeking greater control over feed formulations, ingredient quality, and ultimately, animal health and performance, the farm began building a simple feed processing setup in-house.
They had already invested in a feed mixer and a small batching system and were looking for a single hammer mill to crush cereal grains such as barley, corn, and wheat—raw materials abundant in Germany. After evaluating several options, they decided to procure one SFSP66*80 hammer mill from RICHI Machinery.

2025
Capacity:
8–10 tons/hour
Model:
SFSP66*80
Main Motor Power:
75 kW
Raw Materials:
Barley, Corn, Wheat, Soybean meal
2980 rpm:
Rotating Speed
Unlike large-scale feed plants, this client did not need a full feed production line. They were looking for a standalone pig feed grinding machine that would integrate with their existing manual feed mixing system. The decision to invest in a single animal feed hammer mill was driven by three core reasons:
The farm selected the RICHI SFSP66*80 model, balancing output, power consumption, and overall capacity to match their operational scale.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Rotor Diameter | 660 mm |
| Crushing Chamber Width | 800 mm |
| Rotating Speed | 2980 rpm |
| Line Speed of Hammers | 103 m/s |
| Matched Power | 75 kW |
| Grain Output Capacity | 8–10 tons/hour |
This model offers an ideal middle ground between industrial and small-scale applications—making it perfect for medium-sized German farms with a significant number of pigs.
Germany is one of the EU's largest producers of cereals and oilseeds. In this project, the client uses a typical German pig feed formulation primarily made of:
The hammer mill is mainly used to crush barley, corn, and wheat into a consistent powder form before blending. The ground material is later combined with soybean meal and additives in the mixing unit.
This setup helps the client to produce grower and finisher pig feed formulations with optimal particle size distribution, which improves feed conversion ratios and reduces feed waste.
The SFSP66*80 pig feed crusher from RICHI is widely recognized for its efficiency in grinding cereals into uniform particles, which is essential for digestibility in pigs. Key advantages experienced by the client include:
The farm reported a notable improvement in feed intake uniformity and pig growth consistency after integrating the RICHI hammer mill crusher machine.
As with most of our German projects, the SFSP66*80 hammer mill was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Hamburg, one of Europe’s most important logistics hubs. From there, the equipment was trucked directly to the farm in Lower Saxony.
RICHI provided all necessary shipping documents, customs clearance support, and assisted with installation guidance remotely. The whole process, from order confirmation to equipment commissioning, took just under 7 weeks.
After three months of operation, the client provided the following feedback:
“We’re extremely satisfied with the SFSP66*80 pig feed crusher. It fits perfectly into our farm’s size and production needs. The crushed grain quality is excellent, the mill runs quietly, and the power consumption is lower than we expected. The support from RICHI’s team during installation and testing was also impressive. It’s clear this machine was designed with practicality and durability in mind.”
This level of satisfaction has led the client to plan future upgrades, including a small pellet mill from RICHI to complete their on-farm feed production system.
German farmers are highly quality-conscious and value robust engineering. RICHI’s pig feed grinding machines, including pig feed hammer mills, pig feed grinders, and pig feed crushers, meet these expectations through:
This German project once again validates that RICHI hammer mills are not only suitable for large feed plants but also adaptable for medium-sized farm systems seeking cost control and feed customization.
