A feed hammer mill is a machine that uses high-speed rotating hammers to crush grains and other feed materials into fine powder or uniform particles. It is the most common grinding equipment in feed mills, farms, and livestock operations.
| Material Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Grains | Corn, wheat, sorghum, barley, rice |
| Oilseeds | Soybean, rapeseed, cottonseed meal |
| Crop residues | Straw, rice husk, peanut shells |
| Other | Dry grass, feed pellets, bone meal |
The grinding chamber houses a rotor with multiple hammers that spin at high speed (3200–4000 rpm). As material enters through the feed inlet, the hammers strike it repeatedly against a steel screen. Particles small enough pass through the screen and exit via the discharge port. By changing the screen, you control the final particle size – from coarse meal to fine powder.

High capacity – efficient grinding with even particle size
Durable hammers – wear-resistant, long service life
Pure copper motor – runs cooler, lasts longer, provides stable power
Heavy duty construction – steel plate welding, sturdy and reliable
Easy operation – simple controls, minimal training needed
Low maintenance – few wearing parts, easy to service
| Animal | Feed Type | Grind Size |
|---|---|---|
| Poultry (chickens, ducks) | Corn, soybean meal | Fine powder |
| Pigs | Mixed grains | Medium-fine |
| Cattle, sheep | Grains, straw, hay | Coarse |
| Fish | Fine ingredients | Very fine powder |
Feed mills – grinding raw materials for pellet production
Poultry farms – preparing chicken and duck feed
Pig farms – grinding grains for swine feed
Cattle operations – coarse grinding for ruminants
Aqua feed – fine grinding for fish and shrimp feed
Food processing – grinding grains for food products
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Power | 7.5 – 110 kW (varies by model) |
| Capacity | 200 – 5000+ kg/h |
| Rotor speed | 3200 – 4000 rpm |
| Screen size | 0.8 – 6 mm (adjustable) |
| Motor type | Pure copper (standard) |
| Material | Carbon steel / Stainless steel |

Capacity – small farm: 200–500 kg/h; commercial: 1000–5000+ kg/h
Material type – dry grain is easy; fibrous stalks need more power
Target fineness – fine powder (smaller screen) or coarse meal (larger screen)
Power source – electric motor (380V standard); diesel engine available for remote areas
Space – compact designs fit smaller workshops
Check hammers for wear regularly – replace when edges are rounded
Inspect screens for holes or deformation – replace if worn
Clean the grinding chamber after each use
Lubricate bearings as per manual
Keep the motor dry and free from dust
A feed hammer mill turns whole grains and agricultural waste into valuable feed. It saves money, reduces dependence on commercial feed, and gives you full control over your animals’ nutrition. Simple to run, built to last.
