Multifunctional Hay Processing Machine – Wet & Dry 3 Blade

The Multifunctional Hay Processing Machine – Wet & Dry is a versatile 2-in-1 hay cutter and crusher (also known as chaff cutter combo with grinder) designed for efficient forage and grain processing on small to medium farms, livestock operations, and feed preparation in South Africa. This electric-powered unit excels at chopping wet or dry grass, hay, straw, corn stalks, and crop residues into short pieces while offering an integrated crushing function for finer powder output — ideal for animal feed, silage making, or pellet production.

Key Features (Common to All Variants):

• Motor: Reliable 3kW copper-wound electric motor, 220V / 50Hz single-phase — easy plug-in for household or farm use, no three-phase required.
• Dual Functionality: Chopping/shredding for long forage materials + crushing/grinding with replaceable sieve mesh (3/8 to 30mm options) for adjustable particle size — handle both wet (fresh grass/silage) and dry (hay/straw) materials seamlessly.
• Build: Heavy-duty steel construction with wheels for portability, wide feed hopper, and adjustable discharge for easy operation and cleaning.
• Applications: Perfect for cattle, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, rabbits — improves feed digestibility, reduces waste, and boosts nutrition for better livestock health and productivity.

Model 580 (3-Blade Chopping + Crushing)

Specifications:

• Chopping Blades: 3 blades for efficient cutting.
• Capacity: Cutting/Chopping 500–1000 kg/h | Crushing up to 200 kg/h (depending on material and sieve).
• Cabin/Feed Width: 240mm.
• Weight: 95 kg.
• Dimensions: Compact and sturdy for small spaces.

This entry-level multi-function model offers balanced performance for farms needing moderate volumes. The 3-blade setup provides clean chopping of longer stems with good throughput, while the crusher delivers fine powder for mixed feeds or supplements.

Benefits: Affordable upgrade from basic chaff cutters — saves time on separate machines, handles wet/dry forage year-round, and produces uniform feed that animals prefer.
