Grain crusher Zubr 5 is an indispensable assistant in agriculture

In order to increase labor efficiency in agriculture, specialized equipment is used. Wholesale mechanization and the use of innovative farming methods have a positive impact on productivity. Grain crushers are a type of specialized equipment that is necessary when preparing feed for livestock. Such units minimize the amount of manual labor and allow you to prepare a high-quality product.

What types of products does the device process?

Grain crusher, feed cutter, grass cutter in one device - a multifunctional device. Such grinders allow you to work with all necessary types of raw materials:

Chopper of root vegetables, vegetables and grains on 1 platform

Most devices are capable of processing 2-3 types of feed. For example: grain and grass, or grain and root vegetables, or corn cobs and root vegetables.

Differences in design

This versatility is achieved thanks to the special design of the knives. If in “specialized” units the cutting elements are made specifically for a certain type of raw material, then here they are made in such a way that they can work with any product.

In addition to knives, sieves and grates may also differ. Usually they are removable - the user changes them, choosing the desired option for a certain type of processed raw material. The unit may include several sieves of different fractions.

The package may also include a disc grater. With its help, you can grate root vegetables more finely.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of feed choppers-grain crushers:

• space saving: one chopper will take up less space than two or three;
• saving money: 1 universal unit separately costs more than 1 specialized device, but cheaper than 2-3 separate units.

It is important to use such devices on farms that have several types of animals. Of course, for large farms, in which the number of cattle numbers in the dozens, productivity is important, and

The disadvantages include reduced performance compared to specialized devices. Universal units process raw materials a little slower.

Features of operation

In order for the device to work for a long time and properly, you must adhere to a few simple rules:

1. Use the grain grinder only for processing the raw materials specified in the instructions,
2. Do not use the device in the rain or in a room with high humidity,
3. Before the first start, as well as after a long period of inactivity, you need to pre-warm the engine for ten minutes,
4. Before starting work, you need to check the condition of all connections and fastenings,
5. It is necessary to regularly clean the device from dust and grain residues, and after processing wet food, wash the knives, working chamber and sieve every time,
6. The device must be stored in a dry place.

Description of the feed chopper Elektromash IKB 003

Feed chopper IKB 003 is a 3 in 1 device for preparing feed for farm animals. The device is capable of grinding grain, fruits and plant stems.

Grinded food is more easily absorbed by the body. But the better the metabolism of agricultural animals, the higher their productivity. A farm or farm usually keeps several or many animals, and it is quite labor-intensive for the owner to prepare feed by hand.

The Elektromash IKB 003 feed chopper is popular not only among livestock breeders. Due to its versatility, it is also used in other activities:

• In gardening: for processing branches, nettles, stems of herbaceous plants.
• In gardening: for preparing compost used as fertilizer for garden plants.
• In mushroom growing: using the apparatus, you can prepare mycelium (the part of mushrooms responsible for their reproduction), which is used in cultivating various types of edible mushrooms.
• In moonshine brewing: material (mass for mash) is obtained from crushed fruits for subsequent distillation through a distiller.
• In juicing and juicing: crushed root vegetables can be further pressed to obtain juice using a juicer, press or juicer.

How to do it yourself?

Making grain crushers and feed grinders with your own hands is no more difficult than making a grain crusher from a washing machine. To do this, you need not only to show certain skills and imagination, but also several components , without which this is impossible:

• An electric motor is required. For household devices, a 2 kW unit with a rotation speed of 150 revolutions is quite suitable. You can borrow from old equipment, or buy from an advertisement, fortunately they are inexpensive.
• Using a more powerful motor is not practical because energy costs will increase, and this goes against our desire to save money.
• You need cutting elements that you can make yourself or take from a blender.
• Several sieves with different diameters. It can be made manually by punching many holes with nails of different diameters.

As we can see, almost everything, with the exception of the electric motor, can be made independently.

On the domestic market of agricultural machinery there are various options for cultivators of Russian and foreign production. The American Mantis cultivator is a lightweight and reliable technique that will last for decades.

A garden sprayer is an important and highly effective tool in the competent organization of work in your garden plot. Here is all the useful information about making your own sprayer.

So, let's move on to the assembly process. Many people have old, unnecessary vacuum cleaners that just take up space in their apartment or garage.

Those who prefer not to throw everything away at once, but to leave what they call “just in case,” can use the following tips.

Actually, we don’t need the vacuum cleaner body itself, so we can safely remove the engine from it. Let's leave it alone for now and start making the base. A sheet of durable plywood is perfect for this, in the center of which you need to cut a hole - the electric motor shaft will come out through it.

Let's start making cutting knives. To do this we need a metal plate, the thickness of which should be about 2 mm. They need to be sharpened so that they are double-edged. If you don’t want to do this, you can take knives from a blender or vegetable cutter.

The finished knives must be secured to the shaft of the electric motor using nuts.

DIY grain crusher

To make a sieve, we need a metal sheet at least 70 cm long. We roll it into a ring, securing the ends with bolts. The lower part must be bent outward, but the width of this bend should not be more than 15 mm. In the future, with the help of this bend we will attach the sieve to the device.

It is necessary to install a reservoir under the sieve where the processed raw materials will fall. You can use a barrel or bucket for this purpose, depending on the volumes you are interested in. By the way, to make grain supply more accurate, you can equip the device with a funnel - this will help avoid spilling of raw materials.

Using these simple manipulations, you can make a feed chopper and grain crusher at home. It is noteworthy that the costs of self-assembly are minimal, which is very important in rural areas.
