Last month, our Straw Crushing and Recycling Machine (GH-400) was shipped to a large livestock farm in Malaysia.

The machine efficiently crushes and recycles crop residues such as corn and sorghum stalks, converting them into high-quality silage feed. It helps the farm improve livestock nutrition, reduce feed costs, and promote sustainable farming practices.

Farm background and challenges

The Malaysian farm specializes in cattle and sheep breeding. Each season, the farm generates large amounts of crop residues, which posed several challenges:

• Managing large volumes of leftover stalks and straws efficiently.
• Increasing costs of purchased livestock feed.
• Need for sustainable and eco-friendly feed production methods.

The farm required a reliable, high-capacity machine to automate the crushing and recycling process while maintaining consistent output.

Machine selection and technical specifications

After evaluation, the farm chose the GH-400 Straw Crushing and Recycling Machine. Key specifications include:

• Model: GH-400
• Engine: ≥60HP tractor
• Dimension: 1.6 × 1.2 × 2.8 m
• Weight: 800 kg
• Harvesting width: 1.3 m
• Fling distance: 3–5 m
• Fling height: ≥2 m
• Length of crushed straw: Less than 80 mm
• Rotating blade: 32
• Cutter shaft speed (r/min): 2160

Implementation and application results

Since installation, the farm has experienced significant improvements:

• Improved feed quality: Crop residues are finely chopped to less than 80 mm, producing uniform silage that enhances livestock nutrition.
• High recycling efficiency: The machine achieves a recycling rate of ≥80%, effectively converting crop residues into usable feed.
• Increased operational efficiency: With a working speed of 2–4 km/h and capacity of 0.25–0.48 h㎡/h, large volumes of straw can be processed quickly.
• Sustainable farming practices: Recycling crop residues minimizes waste and supports eco-friendly operations.

Customer feedback
