The Chaff Cutter with Atta Chakki is a multipurpose machine with the functionality of both the machines combined. The machine consists of two hopper areas where one hopper is associated with the chaff cutter which helps in cutting straw, chaff into small uniform pieces which can be later used as animal fodder, while the second hopper is linked with the atta chakki which is responsible for grinding. As the machine has two different hopper areas, it also has two different outlets one for the chaff cutter and other one is for atta chakki. This is a motor operated machine which requires a 3HP motor for the smooth operation of the machine. Low maintenance and cost effective nature of the machine makes this a perfect fit for all kinds of usages.
Features
:
Dual Functionality: The machine serves as both a chaff cutter and a pulverizer, allowing users to efficiently cut straw, hay, or other fodder into smaller pieces while also grinding grains like wheat or rice into fine flour.
High Efficiency: Designed for high volume operations this chaff cutter and pulverizer is perfectly suitable for high volume chaff cutting and grains grinding operations.
Efficient Cutting Operations: The high carbon steel blades help in achieving uniform fodder cutting results making this machine perfectly suitable for commercial fodder cutting operations.

Usage
:
1. Preparation and Setup:
Location: Choose a flat, stable surface for the chaff cutter. Ensure that the area is clear of any obstacles or flammable materials.
Power Supply: As this machine doesn't include the motor with it. The user needs to connect a motor in order to start the fodder cutting operation. Ensure that the motor is connected to an appropriate power source.
Safety Gear: Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, goggles, and ear protection, as operating machinery can be noisy and potentially hazardous.
2. Loading Material:
Prepare the material (straw or hay) you wish to cut. It should be dry and free from foreign objects like stones or metal pieces.
Feed the material into the hopper of the chaff cutter slowly and steadily. Avoid overloading the machine as this can cause jams or damage.
For pulverizing, feed the grains into the pulverizer hopper, from where it will pass into the grinding chamber.
3. Starting the Machine:
Turn on the power switch of the motor-operated chaff cutter.
Allow the machine to reach its full operational speed before feeding in more material.
4. Cutting Process:
As you feed material into the hopper, monitor its progress through the cutting mechanism.
Adjust your feeding speed based on how quickly the machine processes the material; do not force too much at once.
5. Collecting Chaff:
The cut chaff will exit from a designated outlet. Position containers or bags underneath this outlet to collect the chopped material efficiently.
Ensure that no one stands directly behind or near this outlet during operation.
6. Shutting Down:
Once you have finished cutting, turn off the motor using its designated switch.
Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Maintenance:
Regular Inspections: Conduct regular checks on the chaff cutter parts. Pay particular attention to bolts and nuts; if any are loose, tighten them immediately to prevent operational issues.
Lubrication: Every part of the chaff cutter requires lubrication. Clean the components thoroughly before adding lithium grease. Ensure that the gearbox is lubricated with oil every season, while the main bearing should be lubricated at least once a year.
Dust Removal: When adding lubricating oil, it is crucial to remove any dust or debris to avoid contamination that could impair functionality.
Wear and Deformation Checks: Regularly check all parts for signs of wear or deformation. If any issues are identified, replace those parts promptly to maintain safe operation.
Applications
:
Animal Feed Preparation: Chaff cutters chop straw and fodder into smaller pieces, making it easier for animals to chew and digest. This is a game-changer for feeding cattle, sheep, and goats.
Enhanced Nutritional Value: Cutting chaff feeds increases the surface area, allowing livestock to absorb nutrients better. This means healthier animals and, ultimately, better productivity.
Cost-Effective Feeding: By efficiently using leftover stalks and straw from crops, chaff cutters help farmers make the most out of every harvest and reduce feed costs.
Time Savings: Instead of manually preparing feed, chaff cutters save precious time for farmers. Less time on feed preparation means more time for other critical farm tasks.
Pulverizing of Grains: The pulverizer unit of the machine helps in efficient grinding of grains into flour making this machine a multipurpose piece of machinery suitable for both chaff cutting and grain pulverizing.
