This is a project about bale breaker machines in Canada. Our client in this project is a large-scale cattle and dairy farm located in Alberta, managing approximately 800 heads of cattle and 400 dairy cows. The farm produces a significant portion of its feed on-site, including wheat straw, alfalfa bales, and timothy hay, but also supplements with purchased forage to maintain a consistent diet.
This is a project about bale breaker machines in Canada. Canada's vast agricultural landscape, particularly in provinces such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, is home to some of the largest cattle and dairy farms in North America. These farms depend heavily on high-quality forage and crop residues to maintain a consistent livestock feed supply throughout the year.
The seasonal variations and extreme weather conditions often mean that farms must store large quantities of hay, straw, and alfalfa bales, which require efficient processing equipment to maximize feed utilization.
Our client in this project is a large-scale cattle and dairy farm located in Alberta, managing approximately 800 heads of cattle and 400 dairy cows. The farm produces a significant portion of its feed on-site, including wheat straw, alfalfa bales, and timothy hay, but also supplements with purchased forage to maintain a consistent diet.
Previously, the farm relied on manual bale breaking and an aging shredder that often jammed and produced uneven particle sizes. The farm's management team identified the need for a single-unit bale breaker machine, which would be dedicated exclusively to coarse bale processing.
This purchase was a new acquisition rather than a replacement. The client sought a robust, efficient, and durable solution that could handle large-diameter bales and high-moisture material, ensuring uniform particle size for feed preparation. The single-unit nature of the machine allowed the farm to integrate it with their existing feed mixing and storage systems without investing in a full production line, which was not necessary for their operational scale.

In Canada, feed materials vary significantly across regions and seasons. For this project, the client primarily required processing of:
Considering the farm’s operational requirements and the size of the bales commonly encountered in Alberta, the YPPK-2600 model was selected. This model offers the optimal balance between capacity, power, and footprint for medium-to-large farms. Its specifications include:
This bale breaker machine in Canada can process approximately 8–10 tons per hour of mixed bales, making it suitable for the farm’s daily feed preparation needs. The YPPK-2600 bale breaker machine can handle both square and rectangular bales as well as bulk feed materials, ensuring operational efficiency regardless of bale shape or moisture content.
The bale breaker machine in Canada plays a pivotal role in improving feed efficiency and labor productivity on the farm:
The bale breaker machine in Canada is engineered with damping plates inside the crushing zone, which increase grip and prevent bounce-back of fibrous materials. Its reinforced transmission chain extends operational life, while the external gear-driven chain feeding system ensures complete material processing without dead zones. The hammers, crafted from 65 manganese steel and treated via quenching, coupled with tungsten carbide overlay on the hammer heads, allow for long-lasting wear resistance and the ability to handle high-moisture bales without compromising efficiency.
The bale breaker machine was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Vancouver, Canada’s primary Pacific seaport for agricultural equipment imports. RICHI handled all aspects of shipping logistics, including:
From the Port of Vancouver, the machine was transported to the farm and installed in the feed preparation area. RICHI also provided installation supervision, operator training, and commissioning, ensuring that the crusher machine was fully operational upon arrival.
The bale breaker machine in Canada is designed for versatility, efficiency, and durability:
These features make the machine applicable not only for livestock feed preparation but also for biomass collection, compost production, and agricultural residue management.
The bale breaker machine in Canada is widely applicable in the agricultural sector:
Its adaptability and high durability make it a practical investment for farms and feed operations of various scales.
“The RICHI bale breaker machine has been a game-changer for our feed preparation. It processes our large wheat straw and alfalfa bales quickly and produces a uniform particle size. Downtime has been minimal, and maintenance is straightforward. The team from RICHI provided excellent installation and training. We are very satisfied with this investment.”
The client emphasized the machine’s reliability, durability, and consistent output, as well as RICHI’s professional and responsive service.
The farm selected RICHI for several key reasons:
This combination made the YPPK-2600 bale breaker machine an ideal solution for their feed processing requirements.
RICHI supported the project with a comprehensive service package:
RICHI’s full-service approach ensured the bale breaker machine in Canada was seamlessly integrated into the farm’s feed preparation workflow.
