Description
The VGT India Chaff/chara 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 is equipped with 3HP motor and high quality cutting blades, which contribute to a cutting capacity of 800-1000 kilograms per hour, making it appropriate for commercial use.
Features
:- Cutting Mechanism: This Chaff cutter is equipped with high quality blades that are designed for longevity. These blades can efficiently cut through various types of fodder, including green and dry materials.
- Energy Efficiency: Designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing output, these machines save time and labor costs associated with manual cutting.
- Safety Guards and Covers: To protect operators from moving parts during operation, this chaff cutters include safety guards that cover blades and other mechanical components.
- Simple Controls: Most modern chaff cutters have straightforward controls that make them easy to operate even for individuals with minimal training.

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: The user needs to connect a motor to an appropriate power source, in order to start working.
- 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.
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
:- Fodder Preparation: Chaff cutters are primarily used to prepare fodder for livestock. By cutting hay, straw, and other plant materials into smaller pieces, these machines make it easier for animals to consume and digest their feed. This process enhances the nutritional availability of the fodder, ensuring that livestock receive a balanced diet.
- Improved Animal Nutrition: The reduction in particle size achieved by chaff cutters increases the surface area of the fodder, which promotes better microbial activity in the rumen of ruminant animals like cows and sheep. This leads to improved digestion and nutrient absorption, resulting in healthier animals and enhanced productivity.
- Waste Reduction: By cutting fodder into manageable sizes, chaff cutters minimize wastage during feeding. Animals are less likely to leave behind uneaten portions when the feed is uniformly chopped, which helps optimize feed utilization and reduces overall feeding costs.
- Composting: Chaff cutters assist in composting by shredding organic waste or crop residues into smaller pieces that decompose more quickly. This accelerates the composting process and produces high-quality compost that can enrich soil health.
