1.2 Ton Combined Hammer Mill & Mixer

Grinding grain and mixing the finished ration are two separate mechanical actions, but they don’t have to be two separate machines. The 1.2 Ton Combined Hammer Mill & Mixer integrates a heavy-duty hammer mill grinding chamber with a mixing drum on one shared frame, sized for farms and small feed millers processing around 1.2 tons of raw material through to finished, mixed feed in a single continuous workflow.

The value of a combined unit isn’t just convenience — it’s the elimination of the handling step in between. On a farm running a standalone hammer mill and a standalone mixer, milled meal has to be manually scooped, bagged, or conveyed from the grinder to the mixer, which is where spillage, contamination, and wasted labour hours typically happen. A combined hammer mill and mixer feeds ground material directly into the mixing chamber, meaning maize, sorghum, or wheat goes in whole and comes out the other end as a finished, evenly blended ration ready for premix addition or bagging — no manual transfer step in between.

Engineered for continuous milling-to-mixing workflow

The hammer mill side uses swinging hammers striking grain at high speed against a perforated screen, a design that handles whole maize, sorghum, and other cereal grains without pre-cracking, and screens are interchangeable to control the final meal fineness depending on whether you’re producing coarse dairy meal or fine poultry mash. Ground material drops directly into the connected mixing drum, where paddles or an auger (depending on configuration) blend it with any additional ingredients — soybean cake, premix, minerals — added at the mixing stage rather than requiring them to be ground alongside the grain.

Ideal applications

• Medium-scale farms producing complete poultry, pig, or dairy rations from whole grain
• Small commercial feed millers needing one machine instead of two separate units
• Farmer cooperatives sharing milling-and-mixing capacity across member farms
• Agribusinesses reducing labour costs tied to manually transferring ground meal to a mixer
• Operations short on shed space, where one combined machine replaces two separate footprints

For a farm or small miller weighing whether to buy two separate machines or one combined unit, the calculation usually comes down to labour and space — a combined hammer mill and mixer costs less in total floor space, requires only one motor’s worth of electrical installation, and removes an entire manual handling step from the daily routine. Cadeda delivers the 1.2 Ton Combined Hammer Mill & Mixer countrywide, with installation support and a live demonstration run using your own grain so your team sees the full grind-to-mix cycle before we hand over the keys, so to speak.

Farmers weighing this machine against buying a standalone hammer mill and a standalone mixer separately should factor in more than just the sticker price difference — a combined unit also means only one motor drawing power, only one machine to service and keep spare parts for, and only one piece of equipment taking up shed space, all of which add up over the machine’s working life. The trade-off worth understanding honestly is throughput ceiling: because grinding and mixing share one integrated frame and workflow, this combined unit won’t match the raw hourly output of the standalone 2 Ton/Hr Heavy Duty Hammer Mill running grinding alone at full tilt. For most medium-scale farms producing a complete ration for their own herd or flock rather than running a commercial milling service for outside customers, that trade-off comfortably favours the convenience and lower total cost of the combined design.
