Corn forage shredder

Fodder corn, also known as dry fodder corn, is one of the most important sources of food for livestock, especially dairy and beef cattle. In addition to providing energy, this plant provides other nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals for livestock. (Forage corn crusher)

The necessity of crushing fodder corn

Crushing corn forage can help livestock digest and absorb nutrients better. By crushing the corn, the contact surface of the nutrients is increased and the livestock can better utilize it. Crushing the corn also makes it easier and faster for livestock to consume.

Starting to use shredders

The use of shredders for livestock feed began in the mid-20th century. Initially, these devices were manual and simple, and their operation was very basic. Over time and with the advancement of technology, shredders became more sophisticated and more efficient.

Device development

The development of shredders led to the evolution of manual models to electric and diesel models. In the process, features such as speed adjustment, shred size, and increased capacity were improved.

Structure and main components of a forage corn shredder

Device body

The body of the shredder is usually made of stainless steel for durability and resistance to environmental damage. The body is designed to be sturdy to withstand vibration and working pressures.

Engine and power source

Shredders can be powered by a variety of engines. Electric, diesel, or gasoline engines are commonly used in these machines. The choice of engine depends on the needs and conditions of the livestock farm. Electric engines are suitable for locations with access to electricity, while diesel engines are more suitable for remote locations.

Corn feeding and input system

This system is responsible for feeding the corn into the machine. Usually, large hoppers or hydraulic systems are used for automatic feeding. This part must be designed in such a way that feeding is uniform and without stopping.

Blades and shredding system

The blades play a key role in these machines. These blades are usually made of high-quality steel and are placed in a circular or vertical arrangement in the machine to chop the corn into smaller pieces.

Output and collection system

After the corn is crushed, the crushed material is conveyed through a pipe or hopper to an outlet system. In some models, this system is designed to convey the crushed material directly to a silo or storage area.

Types of forage corn shredders

Small household shredders

These devices are mainly designed for home use or small livestock farms. They usually have a smaller capacity and use small electric motors.

Industrial shredders

Designed for use on large farms and industrial livestock farms, these machines have high capacities, powerful motors, and automated systems that are capable of crushing large quantities of corn in a short period of time.

Multifunctional devices

Some machines are capable of chopping different types of forage, such as hay, clover, and other plants. These machines can perform several tasks simultaneously.

How the forage corn shredder works

Overall device performance

The operation of the chipper is very simple. The corn enters the machine through a feeding system, then the blades chop it into smaller pieces and transfer it to the storage area through a pipe or hopper.

Factors affecting performance

• Device speed: Different machines have different speeds. The speed of the machine depends on the amount of energy consumed and the capacity of the motor.
• Crush size settingsSome devices have the ability to adjust the size of the chopped pieces.
• Type of corn: Fresh and dried corn are crushed differently.

Benefits of using a forage corn chopper

Increase work speed

The chopper dramatically increases work speed, allowing farmers to produce more forage in less time.

Cost reduction

By reducing the need for manpower and improving device efficiency, operating costs are reduced.

Increasing the quality of chopped fodder

Crushed corn promotes better digestion and absorption of nutrients in livestock.

Waste reduction

Crushing corn helps reduce waste and optimize its consumption.

Maintenance and repair of shredders

Daily and periodic maintenance

Shredders require daily maintenance. Cleaning the blades and checking the condition of the motor are among the tasks that should be done daily.

Troubleshooting and common repairs

Common problems that can occur with devices include broken blades, motor problems, and clogged feed systems.

Device lifespan

The lifespan of shredders depends on how they are used and maintained. Devices that are properly maintained will last longer.
