This is a project about round bale grinders in Germany. Our client for this project is a dairy and sheep farm in Bavaria, with approximately 500 dairy cows and 300 sheep. The farm produces its own alfalfa hay bales, supplements with wheat straw, and occasionally processes silage bales for feeding.
This is a project about round bale grinders in Germany. Germany is one of Europe’s leading agricultural producers, particularly in livestock and dairy farming. In regions such as Lower Saxony and Bavaria, cattle and sheep farms are often medium to large-scale operations, relying heavily on round hay, straw, and alfalfa bales to meet nutritional needs throughout the year. Ensuring uniform feed particle size is critical for maximizing digestibility and maintaining animal health.
Our client for this project is a dairy and sheep farm in Bavaria, with approximately 500 dairy cows and 300 sheep. The farm produces its own alfalfa hay bales, supplements with wheat straw, and occasionally processes silage bales for feeding.
Previously, the farm used a small, manually loaded shredder, which was inefficient and inconsistent, particularly when dealing with larger-diameter or high-moisture bales. To improve feed preparation and reduce labor costs, the farm invested in a single-unit round bale grinder from RICHI Machinery. This purchase represents a new investment, not a replacement, aimed at modernizing the feed processing workflow.

The round bale grinder in Germany is designed to process a variety of agricultural waste and feed materials, including:
Given the size and density of these bales, the farm selected the YPPK-2600 model, which is well-suited for medium-sized bales and ensures consistent output. The key specifications of this unit include:
This configuration provides an estimated capacity of 8–10 tons per hour, sufficient for the farm’s daily feeding requirements without overloading the grinder.
The round bale grinder in Germany offers several critical advantages:
Technically, the machine includes damping plates to enhance bale gripping and crushing, reinforced transmission chains to extend service life, and a gear-driven feeding system that ensures no material remains unprocessed. The 65 manganese steel hammers with tungsten carbide overlays allow the grinder to handle different bale densities and moisture levels, from dry wheat straw to moist alfalfa, without rapid wear.
For this project, the round bale grinder in Germany was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Hamburg, one of Germany’s largest agricultural machinery import ports. RICHI Machinery managed the shipment and delivery, including:
RICHI technicians provided on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training, ensuring that the farm could immediately integrate the grinder into its feed processing system.
This RICHI single-unit round bale grinder offers versatility and durability:
The bale crusher machine’s ability to handle different bale diameters and moisture levels makes it suitable for farms of various scales and feed types.
The round bale grinder in Germany serves multiple purposes in agricultural operations:
This versatility makes the YPPK-2600 an attractive single-unit solution for farms seeking multi-functional machinery.
“The RICHI round bale grinder has significantly streamlined our feed preparation. Large alfalfa and wheat straw bales are shredded consistently, and the machine’s durability is impressive. RICHI’s support team assisted with installation and provided excellent training. We now save several hours per day in feed prep, and the livestock feed intake has improved noticeably.”
The client emphasized machine reliability, ease of operation, and professional support as key reasons for their satisfaction.
The farm’s decision to invest in RICHI’s YPPK-2600 was based on:
RICHI Machinery’s single-unit round bale grinder offered the perfect balance of efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
