[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″ animate=”afr”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Roto Grind is the new revolution seen on dairy and beef farms across the UK.

With Roto Grind’s grinding method, very few moving parts are required and the machine has no belt, chain or gear box drives to wear out. Fewer moving parts mean less upkeep, maintenance and running costs.

Roto Grind utilises a unique shear plate system in conjunction with long heavy hammers to produce a simple machine. It does not require screens and uses much less horsepower than conventional grinders. Fineness of grind can be controlled with the shear plates.

Roto Grind can also been used for the following:

• Pre chopping straw/hay for feeding and mixing in a diet feeder
• Chopping straw for bedding cows, poultry etc
• Milling straw for use in biomass boiler systems
• Milling garden/timber waste for recycling/composting
• Grain grinding/processing

Compared to other tub grinders on the market:

• Roto Grind machines are about 1/2 the price of others that come close to the capacity
• The machines can grind all the wet and tough materials all others cannot.
• Much lower horsepower requirements means more potential customers (more operators that only have lower horsepower tractors) and much less fuel used.
• Low maintenance – only 2 moving parts and only 1 wearing part. Hammers now have tungsten carbide hard facing and are reversible all 4 ways.
• Roto Grind offers more versatile discharge with many options. Allows for grinding into stockpiles, covered sheds, trucks, mixers, self feeders, bale rings, feed bunks, and spreading bedding. The bunk feeder also grinds into a windrow, and the swivel attachment fits all spout designs. In windy conditions, the standard spout design has very little waste compared to a conveyor belt discharge.
• It’s easier, faster and cheaper to change length of grind.
• The simple and highly effective governor system allows the same machine to utilise tractors from 70 to 200 horsepower. Operating rpms. can be adjusted from 540 to 1100 rpms.
• Attachments for grains and specialty grinding are easy to install and operate.
• Roto Grind does not damage the tractors PTO, drive components and engine because of the design. The fly wheel style rotor and hammers eliminate shock loads.
• If you ever plug anything, Roto Grind machines can be cleaned out in a few minutes, while screen grinders take much work and hours to unplug.

• Save 20% to 50% on your hay: in free choice feeding, when stacks or large round bales are set in open area, cattle may waste from 20% to 50% depending on weather and feed conditions. Grinding the roughage and feeding in bunks is less than 1% loss.
• Up to 40% gains: university research has shown that feeding ground roughage can result in greater weight gains; from 20% to 40% when compared with the same amount of roughage fed unground.
• Better palatability: cattle are selective feeders and prefer to eat the most palatable portions of feed supply first. Grinding allows the mixing of poor and better quality materials during the actual grinding process. Mixing in this manner means the cattle are more likely to eat all the materials offered.
• Easier to handle: ground roughage is a more manageable form for conveyor equipment and feed bunks, so less waste occurs during handling and feeding. Also labor requirements are less.
• Improved quality: poor quality roughage shows increased value when ground, especially when blended with good quality materials.
• Easier blending: roughage can be directly blended with the other supplements and ingredients in a blender box for a better balanced ration.
• Healthier animals: a mixture of dry ground roughage with silage provides a much better balanced diet.
• Grind is better: do your own grinding as needed rather than using commercial grinding in large quantities.
• Improved milk production: When feeding fresh ground hay to dairy cows, milk production will improve 10% to 15% over feeding unground, free choice hay.
