This is a project about a sheep feed mill grinder in the UK. A medium-sized feed mill specializing in sheep and lamb feed recently opted to upgrade its grinding process to meet growing demand from local farms and cooperatives. The customer had been operating a legacy hammer mill, which could no longer keep up with throughput requirements and offered inconsistent grind size, impacting feed quality and pellet performance.
This is a project about a sheep feed mill grinder in the UK. In the rolling pastures of Northern England, a medium-sized feed mill specializing in sheep and lamb feed recently opted to upgrade its grinding process to meet growing demand from local farms and cooperatives. The customer had been operating a legacy hammer mill, which could no longer keep up with throughput requirements and offered inconsistent grind size, impacting feed quality and pellet performance.
This feed mill produces custom sheep feed formulations tailored to the nutritional needs of breeding ewes, lambs, and rams. As market demand for premium sheep feed increased, the factory sought a single-machine upgrade to improve grinding efficiency without the expense and complexity of overhauling the entire production line.
To address this, the factory chose the RICHI SFSP66×60 grain hammer mill, a water-drop style feed grinder well-suited for medium-capacity operations. The new grinder would work in tandem with the existing mixer and pelletizer, replacing only the outdated grinding unit.

This model sheep feed mill grinder in the UK strikes the perfect balance between output and power consumption, ideal for the scale and feed types processed by this UK-based mill.
In this project, the sheep feed mill grinder in the UK is primarily used to grind barley, wheat, and rapeseed meal into fine, uniform particles. The particle size target was below 2.5 mm, which supports better mixing and pelleting downstream.
Unlike full line installations, this was a standalone equipment purchase. The new RICHI sheep feed grinder was installed in place of the old unit and integrated with the client’s existing vertical feed mixer and pellet mill.
The hammer mill’s modular design and ease of maintenance allowed quick integration into the production workflow with minimal downtime. Its high grinding speed and precision allow the mill to maintain consistent grind size, essential for high-quality pellets and optimized sheep nutrition.
The sheep feed mill grinder was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Felixstowe, one of the UK’s major deep-water ports and a central hub for agricultural equipment imports. From there, local logistics partners arranged inland transportation to the client's site in Northern England.
RICHI provided:
The feed mill’s production manager shared the following feedback three months after installation:
“The RICHI SFSP66×60 hammer mill replaced our old grinder, and the difference was immediate. We’re hitting our hourly output targets consistently, and the particle size is spot-on. Feed pellet consistency has improved, and our customers are seeing better weight gain in lambs. RICHI’s support was solid from start to finish. We’ll definitely consider them again for future upgrades.”
This feedback reflects the sheep feed crusher machine’s contribution to both product quality and operational efficiency, two key factors for success in the competitive UK feed market.
In addition to the equipment itself, RICHI Machinery offers:
