The 9Z models run at approximately 1,400 rpm on a 380 V supply; where a weight is given as a range, the lower figure is the electric machine and the upper figure the multi-drive version, the 9Z-8T is 25–30 hp recommended and the 9Z-10T is typically fitted with 35 hp. The 3.8 to 15 t/h ratings are offered with an electric motor — single phase up to 7 t/h, three phase above it — or a diesel engine, and their dimensions are printed in the notation supplied. Voltage, engine brand, exact weight, dimensions and units are confirmed against the ordered configuration at quotation.
Configurations
Chopping, kneading and how the machine is driven
Gearbox, drive and function are chosen at order.
Gearbox
Single or dual, depending on the model and the throughput you work at.
Drive
Electric motor, diesel/electric dual-power, tractor PTO, or all three on one machine.
Function
Chaff cutting alone, or chaff cutting with kneading for a more uniform feed.
This applies to the 9Z models: not every combination is offered on every one — the 9Z-4.5T has no three-drive version, the 9Z-8T is dual-gearbox only, and on the 9Z-10T diesel comes with the three-drive version rather than as a dual-power option. The 3.8 to 15 t/h ratings are simpler: each is supplied either with an electric motor or with a diesel engine. Each model page lists exactly how that machine can be ordered.
Applications
What these machines are used for
Forage, hay, straw and crop stalk, cut for cattle, sheep, goats, horses and poultry.
Silage baling and wrapping
Fresh forage is compressed into a bale and sealed in film. Sealed bales can be stacked outdoors and opened one at a time.
Forage and straw cutting
Grass, straw and corn stalk are cut to a set length before baling or feeding, which is what lets the material compress properly.
Feed pellet production
Ground forage and mixed feed are pressed into pellets for cattle, sheep, poultry and fish.
Cattle, sheep and dairy farms
Farms that need to carry feed through a dry season, and feed producers supplying them.
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask first about this line. If yours is not here, ask it directly.
What throughput do LUCTORC chaff cutters offer?
Ten models cutting grass, straw and corn stalk at 3.8 to 15 tonnes an hour.
How are the chaff cutters driven?
By electric motor, diesel engine or tractor PTO. The 9Z series can combine all three on one machine; the smaller ratings are single phase up to 7 t/h and three phase above it, and the 9Z series runs on a 380 V supply.
Can the chaff cutter also knead the feed?
Yes. The 9Z models are offered as chaff cutting alone, or chaff cutting with kneading for a more uniform feed. Each model page lists exactly how that machine can be ordered.
What power do the chaff cutters need?
From 3-4 kW on the 3.8 t/h machine up to 22 kW on the 9Z-10T, and every rating is also offered with a diesel engine.
Do you publish prices, and can you ship worldwide?
Prices are quoted on inquiry; machines ship worldwide direct from the factory, with packing, container quantity and lead time stated in the quotation.
