One of the most important agricultural and animal husbandry equipment and tools is the fodder shredder. The use of this device is to chop the fodder that is large or long and the animal is not able to eat or digest them in this size. This machine chops fodder to the most appropriate size (3 to 5 cm for sheep and goats and up to 7 cm for cows) and thus helps them to grow and be more productive. Another one of the most important advantages of using a fodder shredder is saving the amount of fodder consumed by livestock. Because if the fodder is large, the livestock will not eat it and a large part of it will be thrown away. This machine is capable of crushing all kinds of livestock fodder, including straw, alfalfa, wheat, corn, barley and other common fodder, and it can crush them to the most suitable size for the livestock.
Types of forage shredders
Guillotine chopper fodder
How to chop fodder with a guillotine chopper is different from Durani. In this device, the blades move in one direction and cut the fodder. "How the guillotine forage chopper works" is that its big and sharp blade lands vertically on the forage and chops them.
Electric forage grinder
Electric forage grinder works through an electric motor and is divided into single-phase, three-phase and rear-motor models based on capacity and workload. The engine power of these devices is between 3 and 15 horsepower and they are designed in capacities of half to 3 tons, which are selected according to the needs of livestock farming and whether it is large or small. The electric fodder chopper has replaced the manual type for years and can chop fodder with better quality in the shortest time.
Multifunctional forage grinder
This device, which is also known as a versatile forage grinder, performs several functions at the same time. In fact, in addition to crushing fodder, this device also grinds them at the same time. The forage crushing action of this device is also used for all kinds of fodder and even dry bread and fruit. The way the multifunctional fodder grinder works is that the fodder enters the device to be ground through the entrance door above it. A grating is installed in the output of the machine in the form of a slide, which can be used to adjust the amount of fodder crushing. The entrance door of the device can be easily removed and reinstalled, and by placing the cover on it, the device can be changed to grinding mode.
