For more than 70 years, Staalmeester has remained one of South Africa’s most trusted agricultural machinery manufacturers. Since producing its first hammermill in 1951, the company has earned a reputation for delivering durable, dependable equipment designed specifically for African farming conditions. Today, the Staalmeester hammer mill range continues that tradition by offering practical solutions for farmers of every size and enterprise.

One of the key strengths of the range is its versatility. From smallholder farmers to large commercial operations, there is a Staalmeester hammer mill suited to virtually every requirement and budget.

The compact 2021SP is an ideal entry-level solution. Designed for farms with limited power availability, it operates on either a 5,3 hp (4 kW) single-phase motor or a 6,5 litre petrol engine. Capable of milling up to 1,5 tonnes per hour, it combines low operating costs with impressive performance. With screen sizes as small as 0,6 mm, it can produce fine maize meal suitable for both livestock feed and human consumption.

For medium-sized operations, the 6116/18 and 6116 RS models provide increased capacity and efficiency. The 6116 RS incorporates an integrated blower system, a dynamically balanced rotor with heat-treated hammers, and a dual spout cyclone outlet that allows for simultaneous bag filling or direct discharge into storage facilities.

At the larger end of the spectrum, the SM 24 and 6776 Heavy Duty hammer mills are built for demanding commercial applications. The SM 24 features a heavy-duty infeed auger equipped with shredders that pre-process material before milling, improving throughput and efficiency. The 6776 Heavy Duty can process a wide variety of materials, including complete round and square bales, with power options ranging from PTO drive to 60,3 hp (45 kW) electric motors.

Beyond milling, Staalmeester machines help farmers improve feed self-sufficiency, reduce labour requirements and maximise operational efficiency. By processing grain, forage, lucerne, sugar cane and grass on site, farmers can significantly reduce dependence on purchased feed while maintaining greater control over feed quality and costs.

Innovations such as the Pick up Hammer Mill further enhance productivity by collecting material directly from the swath, milling and treating it in a single operation. The Harvester Hammer Mill takes efficiency even further by combining harvesting and processing into one field operation, allowing maize to be harvested, milled and bagged in a single pass.

Equally important is the support behind every machine. Staalmeester maintains an extensive dealer network throughout South Africa and ensures parts availability across its dealerships, helping farmers minimise downtime during critical production periods.

Whether you are a small-scale producer looking for affordable feed solutions or a commercial farmer seeking maximum efficiency, Staalmeester offers equipment engineered for local conditions and backed by decades of proven performance.
