Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q1. What output can I realistically expect?
- Approximately 500 kg/hour under typical conditions. Throughput depends on cob moisture, grain maturity, and feed rate.
- Q2. Does it run on household electricity?
- No. This model uses a 5 HP diesel engine. (For electric models, check single-phase offerings separately.)
- Q3. How do I minimize kernel breakage?
- Use sufficiently dried cobs, keep a consistent feed, and avoid overloading. Clean sieves/chutes regularly.
- Q4. Can it handle grains other than corn?
- Primarily designed for corn. Limited use for other grains may be possible where suitable; confirm settings/attachments before use.
- Q5. What routine maintenance is needed?
- Post-use cleaning, periodic lubrication of bearings, belt tension checks, and inspection of guards/fasteners.
- Q6. Is it easy to move around?
- Yes. Despite its sturdy build (~100 kg), the compact frame allows repositioning around the yard with basic handling equipment.
- Q7. What safety measures should I follow?
- Operate with guards in place, keep hands/clothes away from moving parts, and follow engine safety (fuel, ventilation, earthing for any auxiliary power).
- Q8. Does warranty or after-sales support come included?
- Warranty/support terms vary by seller and region. Please verify on the invoice or with your distributor.
