This is a project about a square ball chopper in Australia. Our client is a large-scale livestock feed processing company located in Victoria. The facility focuses on producing high-quality mixed feed for dairy cattle and sheep, combining locally sourced hay, alfalfa, and straw.
This is a project about a square ball chopper in Australia. Australia, known for its vast agricultural lands and livestock industry, has a growing demand for efficient processing of straw, hay, and other crop residues. Farms and feed production companies increasingly look for technologies that can convert large agricultural waste into uniform, manageable sizes suitable for animal feed or biomass fuel production.
Our client is a large-scale livestock feed processing company located in Victoria. The facility focuses on producing high-quality mixed feed for dairy cattle and sheep, combining locally sourced hay, alfalfa, and straw. Prior to this project, the client struggled with processing large square bales and bulky straw manually or with outdated shredding equipment. The existing equipment could not efficiently handle bales with high moisture content or uneven sizes, resulting in inconsistent feed quality and labor-intensive operations.
To address these challenges, the client decided to purchase a single square bale chopper, specifically for coarse shredding of large-diameter bales, as an upgrade to their existing pre-processing setup. The primary purpose of this single-unit investment was to enhance operational efficiency, improve the uniformity of processed feed materials, and reduce labor costs.
Name:
Bale crusher
Country:
Australia
Date:
2025
Capacity:
12–15 tons per hour
Model:
YPPK-2800
Power:
90 kW
Maximum Processing Diameter:
2050 mm
Output Size:
20–30 mm
The materials processed at this Australian facility primarily include:
Considering these materials and the facility’s throughput requirements, the RICHI YPPK-2800 square bale chopper was selected:
The selected model is suitable for handling high-density bales and bulky straw with variable moisture content, providing a coarse shredding solution that optimizes feed preparation for further mixing and processing. This unit can process around 12–15 tons per hour, aligning with the operational scale of the client’s feed mill.
The square bale chopper in Australia serves a critical function in pre-processing agricultural feed materials. Its main roles include:
The chopper’s heavy-duty design and adjustable hammer settings allow it to process both dry and slightly moist bales, making it adaptable to varying seasonal conditions in Australia.
For this project, the YPPK-2800 square bale chopper was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Melbourne, one of Australia’s primary container ports. RICHI coordinated the entire shipment, including export documentation, customs clearance, and pre-shipment inspection. Upon arrival, the machine was delivered by truck to the feed mill facility, where RICHI’s technical team handled on-site installation, calibration, and staff training, ensuring immediate operational readiness.
The square bale chopper in Australia offers several technical advantages that make it suitable for the Australian livestock feed industry:
These features allow the YPPK-2800 crusher machine to efficiently handle dense bales and bulk agricultural residues while maintaining a consistent output size for downstream processing.
The square bale chopper in Australia is a versatile machine with applications across multiple agricultural operations:
Its adaptability to different materials and bale sizes makes the chopper an essential tool for agricultural operations requiring efficient and reliable pre-processing equipment.
“The RICHI square bale chopper has transformed our feed preparation process. Previously, handling large wheat straw bales was time-consuming and inconsistent. Now, the machine produces uniform 20–30 mm fragments suitable for our mixing and pelleting processes. The RICHI team provided excellent training and technical support. We can see the difference in both efficiency and feed quality. It’s a reliable investment for our operation.”
The client specifically noted the durability of the machine and ease of maintenance, highlighting the value of RICHI’s technical support in ensuring smooth operation.
Several reasons influenced the decision to purchase the square bale chopper in Australia from RICHI:
This combination of technical performance and professional service made RICHI the preferred supplier for the client’s feed processing upgrade.
In addition to delivering the chopper, RICHI provided comprehensive services:
These services ensured the client could fully leverage the chopper’s capabilities from day one, improving feed processing efficiency immediately.
The square bale chopper in Australia project demonstrates how a single high-quality unit can significantly improve pre-processing efficiency for livestock feed operations. By replacing manual handling and outdated equipment, the client achieved:
With RICHI Machinery’s professional support and durable equipment, the client is now able to process larger volumes of feed materials with consistent quality, enhancing overall productivity and profitability.
This case highlights the importance of investing in specialized agricultural machinery like the RICHI square bale chopper, which combines robust engineering, versatility, and professional after-sales service to meet the growing demands of modern feed production in Australia.
