PackForge Chaff Cutter, Gear, Conveyor Belt & 3 HP Motor

What is a conveyor chaff cutter with motor?

The 3 HP motor runs at 1,440 rpm on a 230 V single-phase supply. It drives the blade wheel and, through the gear assembly, the conveyor and feed rollers. The belt carries fodder into the rollers at a steady rate, and the gear position decides the cut length, from about 10 to 35 mm. Output reaches roughly 800 to 1,000 kg of green fodder an hour.

This set suits a dairy or gaushala with a reliable electric connection that wants a working machine on day one, without sourcing a motor. Belt feed also helps where hired workers do the chopping. With the motor fitted it weighs 120 to 140 kg, so choose a fixed spot. Already own a motor? The motorless conveyor version fits. Smaller herds can use the 3 HP electric cutter.
