Our client in this 10-12T/H Bale Crusher in Australia project is a mid-sized dairy and livestock farm located in New South Wales, managing approximately 500 head of cattle and 300 sheep.
This is a project about a bale crusher in Australia. Australia, with its vast agricultural landscape, is one of the leading producers of livestock feed and forage materials. The country's dairy, sheep, and cattle farms require efficient processing of bulky agricultural residues such as straw, hay, and alfalfa to maintain year-round feed supply. Many farms face challenges due to irregular bale sizes, variable moisture content, and the limitations of older shredding equipment.
Our client in this project is a mid-sized dairy and livestock farm located in New South Wales, managing approximately 500 head of cattle and 300 sheep. The farm produces a portion of its own feed bales but also imports alfalfa and ryegrass bales to ensure consistent quality during dry seasons. Previously, the farm relied on manual cutting and an older shredder that often jammed or produced uneven particle sizes. To solve these issues, the client decided to invest in a single-unit bale crusher, focusing exclusively on the task of coarse shredding prior to feed mixing.
This was a new purchase rather than a replacement, selected to modernize feed preparation processes, reduce labor intensity, and ensure more uniform and digestible feed for livestock. The farm intended to use this shredder in combination with existing feed storage and mixing equipment, streamlining the workflow without investing in a full feed production line.

In Australia, common feed materials include:
Given the farm's scale and the typical size of local bales, the YPPK-2800 model was chosen to meet operational requirements. The specifications are:
This bale crusher in Australia allows the farm to process 10–12 tons per hour of mixed feed materials, including dense alfalfa bales and high-moisture straw, which is essential for meeting the daily feed demands of both cattle and sheep.
The bale crusher’s capacity and power make it ideal for the Australian context, where bales can be large and vary in density due to climate and storage conditions. The machine handles both square and bulk bales without issue, producing a uniform particle size suitable for subsequent feed mixing.
The bale crusher in Australia plays a central role in the farm’s feed management system:
The crusher machine’s damping plates within the crushing zone improve grip on fibrous bales, increasing throughput efficiency. The reinforced transmission chain ensures long-term durability, while the gear-driven external chain feeding mechanism prevents jamming, even when handling irregularly sized bales.
RICHI's design includes hammers made of 65 manganese steel with quenched treatment, combined with tungsten carbide overlays on hammer heads, which allows the machine to handle bales with varying diameters, lengths, and moisture levels without compromising efficiency.
For this project, the bale crusher was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Sydney, one of Australia’s major commercial and import hubs. RICHI managed the logistics, including packing, customs clearance, and port handling. Once at the port, the machine was transported to the farm and installed in the feed preparation area.
RICHI provided full on-site support, including installation, operator training, and commissioning, ensuring the equipment achieved immediate operational efficiency.
The bale crusher in Australia is engineered for maximum versatility and durability:
These features allow the shredder to be applied beyond livestock feed preparation, including biomass collection for renewable energy, compost production, and other agricultural residue management tasks.
The bale crusher in Australia has wide-ranging applications:
Its versatility makes it a critical piece of equipment for medium to large-scale operations handling multiple feed materials and requiring efficient, high-quality processing.
“The RICHI bale crusher exceeded our expectations. It handles dense alfalfa and oaten hay bales with ease, producing a consistent output that improves feed mixing. Downtime is minimal, and maintenance is straightforward. The training and support provided by RICHI were excellent. We feel this machine was a solid investment for our farm.”
The client highlighted the machine’s reliability, uniform output, and ease of use, as well as RICHI’s professional service.
The client chose RICHI for the following reasons:
This combination made the YPPK-2800 bale crusher a perfect single-unit solution for the farm’s feed processing requirements.
RICHI supported the client with a comprehensive service package:
This level of service ensured that the bale crusher in Australia was fully integrated into the farm workflow and optimized for long-term use.
The bale crusher in Australia represents a significant improvement in feed preparation processes for mid-sized farms:
RICHI Machinery's high-quality equipment and professional services have allowed the client to modernize their feed preparation operations, increase productivity, and maintain high-quality feed standards. The YPPK-2800 single-unit bale crusher demonstrates RICHI’s commitment to durability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
