Chaff Cutter Machine

CHAFF CUTTER

A chaff cutter is a mechanical device used primarily in agriculture to cut straw or hay into small pieces known as chaff. The machine consists of a set of rotating blades or knives enclosed in a housing. Farmers feed dried fodder, such as straw or hay, into the chaff cutter, and the rotating blades cut the fodder into smaller, more manageable lengths.

CHAFF CUTTERS SERVE SEVERAL PURPOSES IN AGRICULTURE:

1. Livestock Feed: Chopped fodder aids digestion for cattle, horses, and goats, enhancing palatability.

2. Bedding Material: Chopped straw or hay serves as comfortable and clean bedding for animals.

3. Mulching: Chaff functions as effective mulch in fields, retaining soil moisture, suppressing weeds, and enriching soil with organic matter upon decomposition.
