Sunto Chaff Cutter Structure

Every part of the 9ZR is built for daily farm work. The galvanized iron conveyor belt feeds material evenly into the cutting chamber, the kneader basket with hammer blades cuts and softens in one pass, and the gear level sets your cut length from 10 to 30 mm.

Complete Unit Overview

Galvanized iron conveyor belt, kneader basket, discharge port, gear level, motor bracket, conveyor adjustment and movable universal wheels - every component labelled and easy to service in the field.

What It Cuts

The 9ZR chaff cutter handles dry and green forage alike. One machine covers the main crops smallholder and commercial farms need to chop.

Chaff cutter processing corn stalks, wheat straw, rice straw and alfalfa

Maize Stalks, Straw, Napier Grass and More

Cut corn stalks, wheat and rice straw, napier grass, alfalfa, peanut vines and sugarcane tops into short sections. The output is the right length for silage, dry storage or mixing into a total mixed ration for cattle, sheep, goats and rabbits.

Uniform chopping improves packing for silage and reduces waste at feeding - animals eat more and sort less. Not sure which model fits your farm? Our chaff cutter buying guide walks through capacity, power and cut length.

Uniform 10-30 mm Output

The high-speed alloy steel blade and kneading disc cut and soften the material at the same time, giving a consistent length instead of random tears. You control the length with the gear shift - from 10 mm for fine silage to 30 mm for coarse dry fodder.

Consistent length means better fermentation for silage and steadier intake for your herd.

Built to Last

Four parts do the hard work in a chaff cutter. We use hardened, workshop-grade components so the machine keeps running season after season.

9CrSi Alloy Steel Blade

The hardened 9CrSi alloy steel blade holds a sharp edge through heavy daily cutting. When it finally needs attention, the blade is easy to remove and sharpen, so your running cost stays low season after season.

Laser-cut integrated kneading disc with hammer blades

Laser-Cut Kneading Disc

The laser-cut integrated kneading disc works with the hammer blades to cut and soften material in a single pass. The result is even, silage-ready lengths instead of random tears - better packing, better fermentation.

Pure copper core electric motor for chaff cutter

Pure Copper Motor

The pure copper-core motor delivers stable output with low heat and quiet running. It is built for the long shifts that harvest season demands, not for a showroom.

Quenched forged steel gear for chaff cutter transmission

Quenched Forged Gears

Quenched forged steel gears in the transmission take the load and resist wear. That is what keeps the cut length accurate year after year - the gears, not the paint, do the work.

How the Cut Length Works

You set the chop length without tools. The gear shift changes the feed speed, so the same machine makes fine silage or coarse dry fodder.

Adjustable 10-30 mm by Gear Shift

Move the gear shift to change the cutting length from 10 mm to 30 mm. Shorter lengths suit silage and young animals; longer lengths suit dry fodder and adult cattle. No blade change needed for everyday adjustments.

For wiring and safe setup, follow the included installation guide - the motor, switch and frame are matched at the factory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Corn stalks, wheat and rice straw, napier grass, alfalfa, peanut vines and sugarcane tops. Both green and dry forage work; the output is 10-30 mm sections for silage, dry storage or mixed ration.
All three 9ZR models run on single-phase 220V power - the normal socket on most farms. Motors are 4 HP (9ZR-3), 5 HP (9ZR-4.5) and 5.5 HP (9ZR-5). No three-phase connection required.
The cut length is adjustable from 10 mm to 30 mm using the gear shift - no tools and no blade change for everyday adjustments. Shorter for silage, longer for dry fodder.
A 9ZR model is roughly USD 200-900 ex-works, before sea freight. The exact quote depends on model, voltage and spare parts. See the price range above or send us your target capacity for a firm FOB or CIF quote.
Yes. Chop the maize stalks or napier grass to 10-20 mm, pack it tightly in a silo or bag, and it ferments into silage. Uniform chopping from the kneading disc improves packing and fermentation. Pair it with a feed pellet mill to turn the silage into dense pellets for easy storage and feeding.
