Zernodrobilka, forage cutter, grass cutter in one Zubr device
This versatile unit combines three devices focused on grinding various feeds, grains and vegetation. The device is one of the best-selling in the agricultural sector among analogues. The main feature of the machine is its unpretentiousness to working conditions, it can perfectly work in the temperature range from –25 to +40 degrees. In the design of "Bison" a pair of removable sieves (2 and 4 mm) is used, with the help of which the roughness of the grinding at the outlet is adjusted.
The device of grain crushers, feed cutters, grass cutters in one device:
- Electric motor connected to the network.
- Hammer type cutting attachment.
- Upper hopper for loading raw materials.
- The working compartment in which the main process takes place.
- Locking screw used to hold the hammer mechanism or grater disc.
- Replaceable sieve.
- Damper to change the feed rate of grain or grass.
- Bed with a special loading tray.
How does the unit function?
Before using the grain crusher, food cutter, grass cutter in one device, the equipment is first fixed on a stable surface using the bolts supplied. To grind grain onto the motor shaft, put on a hammer device and set the required sieve. Then the unit is connected to the network.
It should be remembered that the engine should not be immediately subjected to ultimate load. It is necessary to wait about a minute until it warms up. Then the raw material is poured into the hopper, and at the exit they substitute empty containers. During operation, the sieve will reject substandard particles, and the shutter will allow you to adjust the feed rate in manual mode.
For processing herbs or vegetables, the rotor is removed by unscrewing the fixing screw, and the sieve is also not used. A disk grater is fixed on the shaft, and in front is a tray for receiving the finished product. The damper must be constantly closed. To speed up the process, you can use a special pusher.
