This is a project about bale breaker in Australia. The client decided to purchase a single-unit bale breaker machine to modernize their feed processing workflow. This acquisition was intended to introduce new capability rather than replace an old machine.
This is a project about bale breaker in Australia. Australia’s agricultural sector is widely recognized for its large-scale livestock operations, particularly in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. Many cattle and sheep farms rely heavily on high-quality roughage such as wheat straw, lucerne (alfalfa), and oat hay to supplement their feed. Seasonal droughts and variable rainfall often make feed availability inconsistent, pushing farms to store bales of hay and straw for year-round use.
Our client for this project is a medium-sized sheep and cattle farm in Victoria, managing around 500 head of sheep and 200 head of cattle. The farm primarily grows lucerne and oat hay but supplements with locally sourced straw bales. Previously, the farm used manual bale breaking and a small, outdated shredder. The machine was frequently jammed, required extensive maintenance, and produced inconsistent particle sizes, which made feed mixing inefficient.
The client decided to purchase a single-unit bale breaker machine to modernize their feed processing workflow. This acquisition was intended to introduce new capability rather than replace an old machine. By investing in a dedicated single-unit bale breaker, the farm aimed to efficiently process large-diameter bales into uniform 20–30 mm fragments suitable for mixing in their feed silos. The compact nature of this single-unit machine allowed easy integration into their existing feeding system without the need for a full production line.

In Victoria, the farm’s primary feed materials include:
Considering the farm’s daily feed volume and the large size of the bales, the YPPK-2600 model was chosen for its combination of processing capacity, power efficiency, and footprint suitability. Key parameters of the machine include:
With an estimated throughput of 8–12 tons per hour, this machine aligns well with the farm’s daily feed preparation demands. The YPPK-2600 bale breaker machine can process both compact and loose bales, handling high-moisture content and irregular sizes efficiently.
The bale breaker in Australia significantly enhances the farm’s feed operations:
Technically, the bale breaker in Australia is designed with damping plates inside the crushing zone to increase grip on fibrous material, while the reinforced transmission chain guarantees long operational life. Its external gear-driven chain feeding mechanism ensures complete processing without dead zones. The hammers, made of 65 manganese steel and quenched for hardness, along with tungsten carbide overlays, provide high wear resistance and allow handling of both low- and high-moisture bales.
The bale breaker machine was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Melbourne, one of Australia’s key agricultural equipment import ports. RICHI handled the logistics, including:
Upon arrival, RICHI technicians supervised installation, commissioned the machine, and trained the farm operators, ensuring immediate operational readiness and minimal downtime.
The bale breaker machine in Australia is a versatile and high-efficiency solution:
These features make the machine suitable not only for livestock feed preparation but also for biomass collection, composting, and agricultural residue processing.
The bale breaker in Australia has broad applicability:
Its adaptability, durability, and efficiency make it a practical investment for farms of various scales.
“The RICHI bale breaker machine has transformed our feed preparation workflow. Lucerne and oat hay bales are shredded quickly and uniformly, making mixing easier and improving our feed quality. Downtime has been negligible, and maintenance is simple. The RICHI team provided excellent support during installation and training. We are extremely satisfied with this machine.”
The farm praised the machine’s durability, processing consistency, and ease of operation, alongside RICHI’s professional service.
The farm chose RICHI for several reasons:
This combination made the YPPK-2600 bale breaker machine an ideal single-unit solution for the farm.
RICHI ensured seamless integration of the bale crusher machine with the following services:
