Importance of Crushing in Feed Production

Crucial Pre-treatment for Pelletizing

Before pelletizing, all raw materials must be ground into a fine powder. Our animal feed crusher machine is designed exactly for this crucial pre-treatment step, perfectly matching your feed pellet mill’s capacity. It can crush animal feed, pig feed, goat/sheep feed, deer feed, rabbit feed, horse feed, cattle feed and other livestock feed etc.

A feed crusher machine (also commonly known as a feed grinder) that utilizes high-speed hammer collisions to efficiently break down large materials into 0.6-2.5mm fine powder. Raw materials in feed grinders are crushed into suitable particle sizes for feed mixer processes. Final size of materials can be controlled by inserting a screen with different sized holes.

Enhancing Digestibility and Surface Area

The crushing process enlarges the surface area of the raw materials which can help to increase the solubility of the feed in digestive juice and promote the digestion of the animal. Meanwhile, the particle size of the materials will greatly influence the quality and complexity in later processing phase, such as granulation.

Impact on Production Cost and Efficiency

As crushing process accounts for 50%-70% of the total power consumption in making compound powder feed, the crushing efficiency, to a large extent, determines the production cost. With competitive price, simple structure and high efficiency, animal feed crushing machine is mainly employed in the farm, medium-sized feed plants/factories or for family use.

Main Types of Feed Crusher Machines

Through years of experience and refinement, our engineers have designed two distinct families of hammer mill feed grinders. These small feed crusher machines are capable of processing a wide range of materials and various feed types. This multi-purpose animal feed grinder can process pig feed, goat/sheep feed, deer feed, rabbit feed, horse feed, and other livestock feed. However, if you want to make feed for ruminant animals, we highly recommend our specialized cattle feed crusher machine, which can process optimizedly high-fiber materials like alfalfa, hay, and corn stalks.

1. Small Feed Grinder Machine (9FQ Series)

Engineered for Ultimate Versatility

Engineered for ultimate versatility, the 9FQ series multi-purpose animal feed crusher machine is built with a heavy-duty steel framework designed to withstand demanding farm environments. It is specifically calibrated to handle a vast spectrum of raw materials. Whether you are pulverizing hard grains like corn and sorghum, or processing fibrous materials such as dry wheat straw and rice husks, this machine delivers consistent performance.

Optimized Rotor and Dust-free Operation

Equipped with an optimized high-speed rotor system, it ensures uniform particle reduction without grinding blind spots. The fully sealed crushing chamber effectively prevents dust leakage, maintaining a clean, operator-friendly workspace.

Compact Footprint for Family Farms

Because of its compact footprint combined with exceptional crushing ratio, this versatile animal feed grinder machine is the go-to choice for family farms, medium-sized feed plants, and even food processing facilities. It effortlessly and seamlessly switches between coarse grinding and micro-grinding simply by changing the screen size, accommodating both dry and slightly moist materials.

Big Feed Grinder Machine (Water Drop Type)

Advanced Water-Drop Engineering

For industrial-scale and large-capacity feed production, the water drop type animal feed crusher machine is your optimal choice. The machine is water-drop type design which is a kind of advanced technology hammer mill animal feed grinder machine, and consists of feed inlet , hammers, screen, rod and rotor. The hammers swing on the central rotor freely .The rotor spins at a high speed while material is sent into a feed hopper.

High-Speed Impact and Grinding Mechanics

The material is impacted by hammers and is thereby ground and then falling through the mesh and the discharging port. Hammer mill type water drop grain feed grinder machine we produced is mainly used for grinding maize, corn, soybean, wheat, rice husk etc in small and medium-sized animal and aquatic feed processing factories. Water drop animal feed crusher machine is a machine aiming at crushing materials by the collision between the high-speed hammer and materials.

Industrial Efficiency and Application

The animal feed grinder machine is usually used together with feed mixer to make animal feed.The special water drop type design of livestock forage, livestock feed crusher machine can ensure a larger space for grinding chamber and improves working efficiency by 40%. This animal feed grinder machine is a necessity in large and medium sized feed processing plants and factories. The equipment is able to crush all the granular raw materials for animal feed.

Features and advantages of feed grinder machine

● Easy to operate, low specific power consumption, accurate and consistent product grinding

● Reasonable design: final size of materials can be adjusted according to replacing the right screen sieve. Moreover the ability to change screen size, and the option of a variable speed frequency drive control, enable the crusher to processing a variety of materials.

● Core part-hammers are made of high quality carbon alloy steel, which is durable and wear-resistant. Long life and durability.

  1. This feed crusher machine adopting international advanced technique, crush room is designed as water drop figure. With special twice crush design, the output can be increased by 25%.With adjustable hammer screen space and optimized arrange of hammer pieces, it can fully to meet the coarse and fine crushing requirements.
  2. With full open operating door, screen is tensioned outside and can be maintained and replaced easily.
  3. This animal feed grinder machine is very safe and environmental, inset seal avoids the dust from overflowing and improve the work conditions.
  4. Tested by the high precision balancing machine, the hammer mill won’t move a bit when it run, which reduces noise and prolongs motor bearing’s life.
  5. Feeding with speed governing feeder, feeder with belt transport or self-scavenging impeller feeder.

Core Crushing Mechanics

  • Feed enters the grinding chamber via the feeding mechanism.
  • Material flies to the tooth plate under the direct impact of the high-speed rotating hammer.
  • Material collides with the tooth plate, rebounds, and sustains repeated hammer strikes.
  • Simultaneous strong friction occurs between the screen surface and the hammers.
  • Result: Material is gradually crushed through continuous impact, collision, and friction.

Discharge Configurations

  • Without Fan: Internal grinding chamber airflow forces the crushed material directly through the sieve holes.
  • With Fan: Crushed material is extracted from the sieve holes via mixed airflow. Requires a powder collecting device (collecting barrel or dust collecting bag) to separate air from the final crushed product.
