Short Description
Chaff Cutter/Grass Cutter Machine without Motor
1000-1200 kg/hr production Capacity
Useful for Animal Feed, Dairy Farming, Goat Farming, Sheep Farming, etc.
Country of origin: India
Description
The Chaff/grass cutter is a mechanical device that cuts chaff, straw, and hay into smaller pieces, making it easier for feeding cattle and livestock. The machine automates the fodder preparation process, reducing manpower and time required to prepare feed. The fodder processed with this machine retains all of the important nutrients, which improves digestion and prevents the animal from rejecting any part of their meal, hence preserving health and growth. This machine requires a 3 HP motor and three cutting blades, which contribute to a cutting capacity of 600-700 kilograms per hour for dry fodder and 1000-1200 kilograms for green fodder, making it appropriate for commercial use.
Features
:- Design and Construction : The Chaff cutter machine is engineered with precision to ensure durability and efficiency. It is typically constructed using high-quality materials, such as high carbon steel for the cutting blades, which enhances their longevity and performance.
- High Cutting Capacity : This machine is designed to handle high cutting capacity. It can process between 600 to 1200 Kg/hr of fodder, making it suitable for different scales of agricultural operations.
- Saves Time & Labor : This chaff cutter automates the chaff cutting process and saves both time and labor, while enhancing efficiency.

Usage
:Step 1 : Prepare the Fodder
Before using the chaff cutter, gather the fodder you intend to cut. Common materials include :
- Grass
- Straw
- Crop residues
Ensure that the fodder is clean and free from debris, dirt, or harmful substances that could affect animal health.
Step 2 : Set Up the Chaff Cutter
- Positioning : Place the chaff cutter on a stable, flat surface to prevent accidents during operation. Make sure that the area is clear of any obstacles.
- Power Source : If using an electric or diesel model, ensure that the power source is properly connected. For manual cutters, make sure all components are functional.
- Safety Checks : Inspect the machine for any wear and tear, such as dull blades or loose screws. Assemble any parts as per the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure all safety guards are in place.
Step 3 : Adjust the Cutting Size
Most chaff cutters come with adjustable settings for cutting size. Depending on the type of animals you are feeding, you may want to adjust the cutting length for optimum consumption.
Step 4 : Feed the Fodder into the Chaff Cutter
- Begin feeding the prepared fodder into the feeding hopper of the chaff cutter.
- Ensure that you do not overload the machine; feed smaller amounts to allow for efficient cutting.
Step 5 : Collect the Chaff
Once the fodder has been cut, it will be expelled from the chaff cutter. Use a collection bin, sack, or trough to gather the chopped material.
Step 6 : Store or Serve the Chaff
- If you’re serving the chaff immediately, distribute it into feeding troughs for your animals.
- If storing, keep the chopped fodder in a clean, dry place to prevent spoilage or mold growth. Ideally, use airtight containers or bags to maintain freshness.
Maintenance :
- Remove Residue : Use a brush or compressed air to clear out leftover fodder and chaff from the blades, drum, and feed table.
- Wipe Down Surfaces : A damp cloth can help remove any sticky residues that may attract pests or promote rust.
- Blades : Ensure they are sharp and free from damage. Dull blades can lead to inefficient cutting and increased wear on the motor.
- Bearings and Belts : Check for wear and tear. Lubricate bearings as needed and replace worn belts to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
- Fasteners : Look for loose bolts or screws and tighten them to maintain structural integrity.
- Replacement : If the blades are chipped or excessively worn, replace them. Investing in high-quality blades can improve cutting efficiency and prolong machine life.
- Lubricate Periodically : Create a maintenance schedule, particularly during heavy use seasons. Weekly or bi-weekly lubrication may be necessary.
Applications
:- Fodder Preparation : One of the most significant applications of chaff cutters is in the preparation of fodder for livestock. By cutting or shredding straw, hay, and other plant materials into smaller pieces, these machines facilitate easier consumption and digestion by animals. The reduced particle size enhances mixing with other feed ingredients, ensuring a balanced diet that promotes better health and productivity in livestock.
- Animal Nutrition : Chaff cutters contribute to improved animal nutrition by increasing the surface area of fodder available for microbial activity in the rumen of ruminant animals like cattle. This enhanced digestion leads to better nutrient absorption, resulting in healthier animals. Improved nutrition translates into higher milk production for dairy cattle and increased weight gain for meat-producing livestock.
- Composting : Another important application is in composting processes where chaff cutters help shred crop residues or organic waste materials. Smaller particles decompose more rapidly due to increased surface area exposure to microbial activity, thus accelerating the composting process.
