Our multifunctional silage chaff cutter is designed for modern farms, which can meet the demand for fine feeding of different livestock such as cows, sheep, pigs, and so on in different sizes of farms.

From family farms to large-scale breeding bases, we offer a full range of models, equipped with electric, gasoline and diesel power systems, with a flexible choice of daily handling capacity from a few tons to tens of tons.

The silage chaff cutter can be matched with a silage baling and wrapping machine, a conveyor belt, and other equipment to form an automatic production line. This can realize one-stop operation from raw material processing to finished product packaging, helping you to improve feed processing and reduce labor costs.

chaff cutter and grain crushing machine introduction

Application range of animal feed chaff cutter machine

Our silage chaff cutters can efficiently process all kinds of crop stalks and forage raw materials, including green (dry) corn stalks, rice-wheat straw, soybean seedlings, elephant grass, and so on.

The processed high-quality feed is especially suitable for cattle, sheep, deer, horses and other livestock breeding, which can significantly improve the palatability and nutritional value of feed.

In addition to livestock breeding, the equipment is also widely used in:

  • Biomass energy: providing standardized straw raw materials for power plants.
  • Paper industry: pre-treatment of various types of herbal fiber raw materials.
  • Ethanol refining: high-quality plant raw materials for the preparation of biofuel.
  • Chinese herbal medicine processing: precise cutting of medicinal plant material.

What are the characteristics of a grass shredder?

  • Rugged and durable design: full cast iron support and manganese steel body ensure the stability and wear resistance of the equipment, prolonging the service life.
  • High-efficiency cutting system: three sets of movable knife + fixed knife beveled design, tangential feeding structure, reduce resistance by 30%, improve cutting uniformity.
  • Intelligent silent energy saving: optimized structure reduces noise, gear drive reduces energy consumption by 20%, suitable for long time operation.
  • Flexible and versatile high efficiency: double-roller feeding adjustable knife spacing (1-10cm), handling 0.5-1 tons per hour, efficiency 20 times higher than manual.

Type 3: Large straw chaff cutter

  • Our range of high-power silage chaff cutters includes 8 models from 9Z-1.2 to 9Z-10A, each of which is designed with a long-necked outlet to ensure a longer and smoother delivery of the hay.
  • The 9Z-2.5A and 9Z-10A models are especially equipped with an automatic feeding system, which realizes full automation and greatly improves production efficiency.
  • In terms of power selection, the whole series supports three configurations of electric motor, diesel engine and gasoline engine, and the models above 1.8 tons are recommended to be driven by more powerful electric motor or diesel engine to ensure stable operation for a long time.
  • The unique jet discharging system can powerfully spray the treated grass 8-15 meters, the discharging height and angle can be freely adjusted, easy to dock the transportation vehicle or storage silo.

Working principle of large straw cutter

Whether it is a large or small silage chaff cutter, the working principle is the same. The motor, diesel engine, and gasoline engine transmit the power from the belt to the main shaft. The gear at the other end of the main shaft transmits the speed-regulated power.

When the material enters between the upper and lower press rollers from the inlet. Then, the high-speed rotating knives quickly carry out the grass-cutting operation. Finally, the cut grass is thrown out of the machine through the outlet.

It can be used with baling film equipment later, please click for details: Automatic Corn Silage Baler Machine For Feed Preservation.

Successful case

A customer from the Philippines purchased a 9Z-1.2 silage chaff cutter from us. The customer has raised some cattle. Some time ago he decided to expand the scale of his breeding. Therefore, he also wanted to purchase a larger model of the guillotine to process forage.
