Feed Hammer Mill

Product Description:

A feed hammer mill is a machine that crushes dry feed materials into fine powder or small particles using high-speed rotating hammers. It is the most common grinder used in feed mills, farms, and livestock operations.

What can it grind?

• Grains: corn, wheat, sorghum, rice

• Oilseeds: soybeans, rapeseed, cottonseed meal

• Crop residues: straw, rice husk, peanut shells, corn cobs

• Other materials: dry grass, bone meal, fish meal, feed pellets

Common applications

• Making fine mash for piglets and young poultry

• Coarse grinding for cattle and sheep feed

• Preparing powdered ingredients for feed pellet lines

• Grinding straw and husks for composting or biomass fuel

• Small to medium feed production for farms or commercial feed mills

Key advantages

• Versatile – one machine handles many different materials

• Adjustable fineness – change the screen in minutes 

• High efficiency – up to 90% of input turned to usable powder

• Simple maintenance – hammers and screens are easy to replace

• Durable – heavy-duty steel construction for long life

How to choose the right feed hammer mill

1. Required capacity – how many kg per hour do you need?

2. Type of material – dry grain is easy; fibrous stalks need more power and wider screen.

3. Target particle size – fine powder (under 1mm) requires smaller screen and more power.

4. Power source – 3-phase electric is cheapest to run; diesel is flexible but higher fuel cost.

5. Budget – smaller models start around $500–1500; industrial units $3000–15000+.

Maintenance tips

• Check hammers for wear every 50–100 hours. Turn or replace when edges are rounded.

• Inspect screens for holes or deformation. Replace if worn.

• Clean the magnet to remove metal scraps that can damage hammers.

• Lubricate bearings according to manual.

• Keep the machine dry to prevent rust.
