What is an animal feed hammer mill?
The animal feed hammer mill adopts a hammer-type design and occupies a key position in livestock and aquatic feed processing. It can be used to crush various common feed raw materials, such as corn, wheat, soybeans, etc., and has a high yield. It is usually used in the crushing process of large farms or feed mills. It can be used alone or often used in feed pellet production lines, working in conjunction with other processing machinery such as premix feed mills and animal feed pellet making machines.
The feed hammer mill for sale by RICHI Machinery, is mainly composed of both moving and fixed parts. The moving components include the hammer frame plates, hammers, spacer sleeves, and pins. During operation, the hammers produce a powerful impact force through high-speed rotation. The fixed parts, such as tooth plates and screens, form a crushing chamber together with the rotor. The machine base provides structural support, while the feed inlet features a material-splitting and magnetic separation device to ensure even feeding and efficient removal of metal impurities. Finally, the discharge port handles the output of the finished product.
When the machine is working, the material enters the crushing chamber through the feed port, and the high-speed rotating hammers continuously hit the material to break it. The crushed material is screened through the screen, and only pellets that meet the specific pellet size requirements can pass through the screen and become qualified feed products.
RICHI Machinery is a specialized manufacturer of feed mills. We can customize the feed pellet production line according to your requirements. All you need to do is tell us your raw material, your production capacity, and your budget and we will design a highly efficient pelletizing line for you.

Working principle of animal feed hammer mill
The working principle of animal feed hammer mill is based on the impact crushing of materials by high-speed rotating hammers. When the material enters the crushing chamber from the feed inlet, it will immediately contact the high-speed rotating hammer. The hammer runs at an extremely high linear speed, giving the material a strong impact force, which is similar to the linear speed of the end of the hammer.
In the crushing chamber, the material is not only directly hit by the hammer, but also contacts the screen surface under the action of centrifugal force and moves in a circular motion on the screen surface. However, under the influence of the material’s own gravity, most of the material will gather at the bottom of the crushing chamber, that is, at the discharge port, and a small part will be distributed around the screen surface. As the crushing process continues, the material that meets the pellet size requirements will be discharged through the screen, while the material that does not meet the requirements will continue to be crushed repeatedly in the crushing chamber until it can pass through the screen.
Taking the common horizontal hammer mill as an example, the motor drives the main shaft and the turbine fastened to the main shaft to rotate at high speed, and the turbine and the grinding block on the screen ring form a reasonable and compact structure. The material will be subjected to close friction and strong impact grinding in the rotating airflow, and will be ground again in the gap between the blades and the grinding block, and finally the pellet size between 1 and 50 mm will be achieved through the adjustment of the screen.

Frequently asked questions
Why use an animal feed hammer mill for crushing?
1. The raw materials crushed by the animal feed hammer mill will increase the surface area of the feed, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of the nutrients in the feed by the animals, improve the utilization rate of the feed, and provide more sufficient nutrients for the growth and development of the animals.
2. The feed crushed by the crusher has a finer pellet size, which has a positive effect on its palatability. The fine-grained feed tastes more in line with the feeding preferences of animals, making animals more willing to eat, thereby ensuring that the animals can take in enough nutrition and make the animals grow stronger.
3. The pellet size of the crushed feed is more consistent, and when mixing multiple raw materials, it can be mixed more evenly.
4. The degree of feed crushing will affect the surface smoothness, powderization rate and powder content of the pellets. Appropriate crushing pellet size can make the surface of the pellet feed smoother, reduce the powder rate, and reduce the powder content. Such pellet feed will be more stable during storage and transportation, and will not easily cause problems such as powder flying and caking.
5. Different feeding objects and different feeding stages of animals have different feed requirements. In the process of feed crushing, the first thing to do is to meet the animal’s requirements for pellet size, which is the key to ensuring the healthy growth and efficient production of animals.
How to choose a suitable animal feed hammer mill?
1. The production capacity of each equipment varies greatly, ranging from 1 ton to tens of tons per hour. The production capacity should be matched according to its own production scale to avoid overcapacity or undercapacity, which affects production efficiency.
2. Different raw materials have different characteristics, such as hardness and humidity, which will affect the crushing effect. When choosing, these factors should be fully considered to ensure that the equipment can efficiently crush the raw materials and meet the pellet size requirements.
3. Low-energy consumption and easy-to-maintain equipment should be given priority. Low energy consumption can reduce long-term operating costs, while easy maintenance can reduce downtime, improve production efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs.
4. Well-known brands like RICHI Machinery usually have more reliable equipment quality. Our company implements strict production standards and quality control to ensure equipment performance. At the same time, RICHI’s high-quality after-sales service can provide timely technical support to ensure smooth production.
Crushing method of the hammer mill for feed
1. Crushing
This crushing method is particularly suitable for hard and brittle materials. For example, some grain pellets are relatively hard and brittle. When they enter the crushing chamber of the hammer mill, they will be crushed into smaller pellets under the strong impact of the high-speed rotating hammer because they cannot withstand the instantaneous impact force.
2. Grinding
For tough materials, grinding is a more suitable crushing method. Tough feed raw materials such as grass containing a certain amount of fiber will continuously rub and squeeze between the hammer and the screen plate after entering the crusher. As the material continues to roll and move in the crushing chamber, after a long period of repeated grinding, its tough structure is gradually destroyed and finally ground.
3. Crushing
When faced with hard materials, crushing comes into play. For example, some hard block feeds, after entering the crushing chamber, will be squeezed into a specific area of the crushing chamber under the combined effect of the hammer’s rotation and the material’s own gravity, and will be subjected to greater pressure, thereby destroying the internal structure of the material and achieving the crushing effect.
4. Saw shredding
This crushing method is more suitable for brittle materials. Some brittle feed raw materials with a certain shape and structure, in the hammer mill, are finally turned into crushed materials of appropriate pellet size under the special action mechanism formed by components such as hammers and screens, and are discharged smoothly through the screen to complete the crushing process.
Maintenance and care of the hammer mill
1. Regularly check the hammer and screen, and replace or turn them around in time to ensure the crushing effect.
2. Regularly refuel the moving parts of the equipment and ensure that the inside of the equipment is clean and free of debris.
3. Regularly check the motor and control system to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
Market prospects of animal feed hammer mills
With the large-scale development of the global breeding industry, the demand for efficient and energy-saving feed crushing equipment continues to increase. In the future, feed crushers will be more intelligent and automated to meet the growing production needs. At the same time, the advancement of environmental protection regulations has also prompted the equipment to develop in the direction of low energy consumption and low noise.
