Electric Grain & Fodder Pulverizer

If you are still running a separate chaff cutter for Napier grass and a separate posho mill for maize, the Electric Grain & Fodder Pulverizer from Cadeda Farm equipment is the machine that lets you retire both. It is a dual-chamber, dual-motor unit built to do two distinct jobs on one frame: pulverize fresh or dried fodder — Napier grass, maize stalks, hay, banana stems — into fine, easily digestible particles, and separately crush whole grain — maize, sorghum, wheat, soybean — into livestock-ready meal. For a dairy, poultry, or pig operation formulating its own feed rations in Kenya, that combination removes an entire piece of equipment, an entire electricity bill, and an entire shed corner from the balance sheet.

The pulverizer runs on an 11kW, 380V three-phase mill motor paired with a dedicated 2kW conveyor motor, giving it the torque to process roughly 2.5 tons of material per hour without bogging down on tougher stalks or drier grain. Where a lot of imported “multi-purpose” grinders cut corners on the parts that see the most abuse, this unit does the opposite: the hammers and blades are cut from 6mm-thick hardened steel, the body is heavy-gauge steel plate rather than thin sheet metal, and the grain intake channel and conveyor hopper are stainless steel — the one surface that actually contacts feed destined for animals, and the one surface most prone to rust if it were mild steel instead.

How the dual-chamber design actually works

Fodder and grain do not behave the same way inside a grinder, which is why most single-chamber machines do one job well and the other job badly. Cadeda’s pulverizer solves this with a dedicated fodder pulverizing chamber fed by its own hopper, and a separate grain channel with conveyor feeding straight into the grinding hammers. A cyclone discharge system pulls the milled material out and away from the chamber as it’s produced, instead of letting it recirculate and re-strike the hammers — which is what causes overheating, uneven particle size, and premature blade wear in cheaper units. Interchangeable screens let you switch the output particle size in minutes: a coarser screen for silage-bound fodder, a finer screen for layers’ mash or a pig grower ration, without buying a second machine.

Who this pulverizer is built for

• Dairy farmers mixing their own Napier-based silage with a maize-germ or dairy meal supplement
• Poultry farms grinding maize, soybean, and sunflower cake into layers’ or broiler mash on-site
• Pig and beef feedlot operators who need both roughage and concentrate processed without two separate machines
• Agrovet dealers and feed millers offering custom-milling services to smallholder farmers nearby
• Farmer cooperatives sharing one grinder across several member farms to spread the capital cost

Because the pulverizer is three-phase, it is best suited to farms and agribusinesses already on a three-phase connection or willing to install one — the payoff is a machine that will out-run and outlast most single-phase alternatives on daily commercial use. Cadeda delivers the Electric Grain & Fodder Pulverizer countrywide from our Nairobi workshop, with technicians available to handle installation, three-phase wiring checks, and a full operational walkthrough before we leave your farm. Every unit ships with the standard toolkit, spare drive belt, and a maintenance schedule so your team knows exactly when to check blade wear, tighten the belt, and grease the bearings.
