How to choose a grain crusher

1. Design of a grain crusher.
   Most often, manufacturers use two options for grinding grains, legumes and root vegetables.
2. The rotary chopper
   is highly reliable . The operating principle is based on the movement of the cutting element inside the working chamber. After grinding with a knife, the product passes through a sieve with a certain perforation and ends up in a container.
3. A hammer crusher
   breaks down the grain that has entered the chamber using hammers that are fixed on the base. The grinding is of higher quality, and the equipment consumes less electricity and is highly productive.
4. Scope of application
   . The choice of grain crusher depends on the size of the livestock or poultry population.
5. Many farmers who have a small amount of poultry use manual mechanical mills; there is no point in purchasing expensive high-performance crushers.
6. If the farm has a pig or a cow, then it makes sense to purchase an inexpensive rotary-type unit. Even with one grinding it will be possible to provide animals with grain for several days.
7. Farmers should pay attention to hammer units capable of processing 300-400 kg of grain per hour. In this case, it will be possible to save the time it takes to prepare the feed.
8. Power and performance
   . These two parameters are closely related to each other. Peasants should not chase devices with high power and productivity. It will operate at 10-15% of its capacity, consuming a large amount of electricity. Therefore, a unit with a 1.0-1.5 kW motor will successfully cope with the assigned tasks (100-200 kg of grain per hour). Farms require higher productivity (200-400 kg/h), therefore the electric motor in the equipment must be more powerful (1.5-2.5 kW).
9. Weight and dimensions.
   The overall dimensions and weight of the grain crusher become important factors when it comes to moving or transporting the device. If there is enough free space on the farm and electricity is supplied to the grinding site, then any stationary model will do. But when you have to grind grain and root crops at different points, you should give preference to light (up to 10 kg) and compact grain crushers.

We have selected 9 of the best grain crushers for review. They are widely represented in the Russian trading network. The rating was compiled taking into account the opinion of the expert community and feedback from peasants and farmers.

Instructions for use

To avoid serious injury when working with the mechanism, you must be careful and avoid contact of the cutting elements with your hands. If during operation there is a burning smell, smoke or sparks, or excessive vibrations, then the grain crusher must be disconnected from the electrical network. After switching off, the device is given time to cool down, the remaining raw materials are removed from the working chamber and all components are checked. It is not recommended to disassemble the device at home without involving a specialist.

Place the Cyclone feed chopper on a hard and level surface. Before loading raw materials into the hopper, it is necessary to check for the presence of foreign inclusions that could damage the knives. Most often, problems arise due to stones, metal objects, dry and hard clods of earth, scraps of burlap, fishing line or twine getting into the cutting plane.

After turning on the device, you need to give the engine time to warm up. After 5 - 7 minutes of idling, you can pour grain into the loading hopper. When switched off, loading raw materials into the machine is prohibited. It is recommended to give the engine a short rest every 30 minutes.

It is not recommended to load wet raw materials into the feed cutter: it sticks to the cutting element and walls, which leads to breakdown of the device.

It is also not recommended to use the machine for grinding nuts, succulent feed, hay or grass. All grain crusher models are equipped with an automatic protective system that turns off the engine when it overheats.
