Grain crusher and grinder branches from UShM

An increasing number of people are moving to cottage villages and private households. Often, owners organize micro-farms at their farmstead, where they grow birds and animals for their own consumption. Animals need to be provided with high-quality fodder, but it is inexpedient to buy feed for small livestock, so the owner is faced with the issue of producing their own fodder. It is economically unprofitable to buy grain crushers for several chickens or ducks. Such a mechanism can be made by hand from the grinder, which is available in every private house. The result is a small grain crusher that can feed a small farm.

Continuous Grain Shredder

For the manufacture of tpkoy crushers from the grinder will need the following tools and materials:

• drill or screwdriver with a set of drills;
• jigsaw or saw;
• carob keys;
• hammer and chisel.
• plywood 10 mm thick;
• corner or staples;
• bolts and nuts;
• pan of suitable diameter;
• knives;
• Bulgarian.

Manufacture begins with the attachment of an angle grinder with a bracket or corners to plywood. To do this, it makes a rectangular hole under the body of the angle grinder and round for feeding grain. Long bolts fix the bracket. The base can be made of various materials:

• plywood;
• metal;
• wooden boards.

On the photo base is made from laminate 8 mm thick. The bracket can be made of any thin metal that can hold the machine. Bolts M10 were used for fastening. Knives are made of ordinary steel 3 mm thick.

The sieve may be ready, for example, old pan drilled bottom or any suitable container. The photo shows a fitted pan with a drilled bottom (holes with a diameter of 5 mm).

Then the angle grinder is fixed and the knives are screwed. They can be with two or four blades.

It remains to secure the saucepan to the base, and the device from the grinder is ready. Install the receiving hopper of the grain mixture, which is made from a five-liter bottle. The result was a continuous grain crusher.

The whole structure is installed on a suitable container, included in the network and the grain is poured into the receiving bin. The grain mixture is fed to the working area, where the grinding takes place.

The main disadvantage of this design is that it is impossible to adjust the grain size of the grinding. The grain fraction is uneven. If you install a gate on the receiving bin, it will be possible to regulate the flow of grain. This is done in order not to overload the engine of the machine.

Fine grinder

For more fine grinding use a different design. If in the first case the cutting mechanism is located below, then in this variant it located at the top. This construction of the crusher is technically less complex, since for manufacturing there is no need to make a base. The pot is attached directly to the grinder with the help of corners. It made one hole for the shaft of the grinder.

At installation on a shaft it is necessary to establish felt pad. She puts on the engine shaft with effort and prevents dust from entering the mechanism.The entire device is fixed with a clamp to the table. Crusher is ready to go.

The disadvantages of such a grain crusher are low productivity.. The advantages are as follows:

• fine grinding can be obtained;
• the design can be used as a food cutter;
• beekeepers can make caster sugar.

To reduce dust indoors, a tightly fitting lid is necessary.

Utilizer branches and plant waste

In the subsidiary farm often there is a need to dispose of waste branches. To do this, they can simply be burned, but this is prohibited, as it can lead to fires. At the enterprises for utilization use industrial shreder. But for small farmsteads, it does not make sense to purchase expensive shredders. Large volumes of branches and small trees are necessary for their work.

Using the angle grinder, with a slight revision, you can make a homemade shredder. With it, it is easy to turn various plant waste into dust, and then use it as mulch or as an additive in the preparation of feed.

For its manufacture is used Metal sheet 4-5 mm thick, in which two holes are made: one for the shaft of the grinder, the second for the supply of waste. Then a small length of pipe is welded, the grinder and cutting knives are fastened. To ensure safety, the knives are closed regular casing. The shredder is ready, it remains to fasten it vertically and get to work.

In the manufacture of the device from the angle grinder should be borne in mind that it is not intended for continuous operation. After working for 4-5 minutes it is necessary to allow the electric motor to cool for 15 minutes. It is advisable to use a machine with a capacity of at least 1500 watts.
