0.5–5 T/H Small Hammer Mills for Sale Argentina

Client Profile and Motivation

The client is a private agricultural processing company focusing on converting corn cobs, wheat straw, and sugar beet residues into feed ingredients, biomass pellets, and other value-added products. Their main motivations for purchasing these small hammer mills included:

• Producing uniformly sized powders from agricultural residues
• Reducing bottlenecks caused by outdated grinding equipment
• Preparing high-quality raw materials for pellet production and animal feed
• Testing the standalone SFSP56*40 model before expanding their production line

The client emphasized that they needed standalone mills rather than a complete line to minimize upfront investment while gaining operational flexibility. By adding these two hammer mills, they could process multiple raw materials simultaneously and improve overall production reliability.

Equipment Selection and Specifications

Based on the client’s raw materials, capacity requirements, and facility size, RICHI recommended the SFSP56*40 small hammer mills. Their technical specifications were as follows:

• Rotor diameter: 560 mm
• Crushing chamber width: 400 mm
• Rotating speed: 2980 rpm
• Hammer line speed: 88 m/s
• Power: 37 kW per unit
• Estimated production capacity:
  • Grains: 3–5 T/H
  • Wheat straw: 0.8–1 T/H
  • Wood chips/corn cobs: 0.5–0.6 T/H

The mills utilize a water-drop-shaped crushing chamber, allowing materials up to 5 cm in size to be reduced into powders ranging from 0.5 mm to 20 mm. By changing the sieve plates, the client could easily adjust particle size to meet different production requirements, whether for animal feed, biomass pellets, or industrial applications.

Raw Materials and Processing Goals

In Argentina, common agricultural residues suitable for milling include:

• Corn cobs: Abundant from local corn production, used to produce biomass pellets or feed additives
• Wheat straw: Readily available after harvest, often used for animal bedding or pellet blending
• Sugar beet residues: By-products from sugar processing, high in fiber and suitable for feed and biomass applications

The SFSP56*40 hammer mills were employed to:

1. Grind corn cobs into 2–4 mm particles for high-quality biomass pellets
2. Pulverize wheat straw into 1–3 mm powders for feed and bedding applications
3. Process sugar beet residues into 0.5–2 mm powders for inclusion in feed or compost mixtures

These particle sizes ensured optimal performance for pellet presses, briquette machines, and other downstream equipment while maintaining consistent feed quality for livestock and biomass energy production.

Transportation and Logistics

The two small hammer mill crusher machines were shipped via sea freight from China to the Port of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s primary international port. RICHI Machinery provided full logistical support, including customs clearance, inland transport to Córdoba, installation supervision, and operator training. This ensured the client could start production immediately upon delivery and avoid common delays associated with importing heavy machinery.

Operational Benefits and Client Feedback

After installation and commissioning, the client reported significant improvements:

• Enhanced productivity with stable throughput of 3–5 T/H for grains and 0.5–0.6 T/H for wood materials
• Uniform powder particle size, reducing waste and improving pellet quality
• Easy switching between different raw materials due to adjustable sieve plates
• Reversible rotor extending hammer lifespan and minimizing maintenance requirements

“These small hammer mills are extremely reliable. Corn cobs, wheat straw, and sugar beet residues are now processed consistently and efficiently. The adjustable sieves make it simple to produce different particle sizes as needed, and the RICHI team provided excellent installation support and operator training.”

The client emphasized that choosing RICHI machinery reduced downtime, improved safety, and allowed them to produce high-quality biomass powders that met both domestic and export standards.
