Working principle of silage chopper

The forage harvester functions efficiently by employing a high-speed rotating blade that initiates the cutting process as the straw is drawn into the casing. The design of the casing, featuring a folded line-shaped inner wall, facilitates multiple shearings of the stalk, ensuring the straw is finely crushed.

The fan then plays a crucial role in expelling the processed material, allowing for streamlined operation. Additionally, the option to include a collection hopper enhances convenience by directly gathering the crushed straw.

Forage chopper sold to Cambodia

Our Cambodian customer just bought a forage harvester for sale from us. Through communicating with the customer, we learned that the customer has a cornfield and feeds sheep.

Therefore, to make more efficient use of these corn stalks, the customer hopes to purchase a machine that can directly process corn stalks in the field. The customer’s planting area is not very large, and we recommend a harvesting width of 1.5 meters.
