Chaff Cutter cum Pulverizer
Thumba 5 HP chaff cutter cum pulverizer — the machine sent 4,600 km from Palani to a dairy farm at Sivasagar, Assam in 2016

The 5 HP chaff cutter cum pulverizer — ordered from 4,600 km away by a farmer who had only ever seen it on a screen.

A Website, Some Videos, and 100% Advance

In 2016 a reputed dairy farmer from Sivasagar — formerly Sibsagar — in Assam, North East India came to us through our website and confirmed an order for a 5 HP chaff cutter cum pulverizer. He keeps 30 dairy animals and a few calves.

What impressed him was the high speed chaff cutting capacity with the pulverizer as an added facility in the same machine — one unit doing both jobs rather than two separate purchases. He had never seen the machine in person. He knew about it only through our website and our videos on the internet.

On the basis of the trust and technical strength information published on this website, he confirmed the order and sent 100% advance payment — to a manufacturer 4,600 km away that he had never visited, for a machine he had never touched. We do not take that lightly. It is the reason we keep the specifications on these pages accurate rather than flattering.

Why We Moved Him Up the Queue

At that time many customers had booked our machines and were waiting more than 30 days. We arranged his machine within 30 days as a preference — not as a favour, but because of what came after the build.

4,600 km, and the Last 340 of Them by Himself

This is the maximum distance a machine has travelled from our office4,600 km from Palani in Tamil Nadu to Sivasagar in Assam, very nearly the length of India.

The complication was the last leg. There is no direct lorry service to Sivasagar. So we booked the consignment to Guwahati by lorry, and from there he collected it himself and carried it the final 340 km to his own town. Planning that route before confirming the order is the part of a long-distance sale that actually decides whether the machine arrives.

He was very excited with the machine's performance once it was running, and has since recommended it to other farmers near him — which is how most of our customers in a new region arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver chaff cutters to Assam and North East India?

Yes. Our 5 HP chaff cutter cum pulverizer travelled 4,600 km from Palani in Tamil Nadu to Sivasagar in Assam — the farthest a machine has gone from our office. There is no direct lorry service to Sivasagar, so we booked the consignment to Guwahati and the customer collected it from 340 km away. We have also completed a 500-acre RainGun project at an Assam tea estate near Guwahati.

Can I order a machine without visiting your factory?

Many customers do. Our Sivasagar customer had never met us — he knew the machine only from our website and our videos on the internet, and confirmed the order on the strength of the technical information published there. If you would rather see a machine working first, our YouTube channel has demonstration videos of every model, and you are always welcome at our Palani works.

What is the advantage of a chaff cutter with a pulverizer in the same machine?

It is what convinced the Sivasagar customer. High speed chaff cutting handles the green fodder, and the pulverizer built into the same unit grinds concentrate feed — so one machine, one motor and one floor space cover both sides of the ration instead of two separate purchases.

How long does it take to get a chaff cutter delivered far from Tamil Nadu?

The machine itself is the shorter part. In 2016 many customers were waiting more than 30 days for a build slot; we prioritised this one and completed it within 30 days precisely because the journey afterwards was 4,600 km. For any long-distance order we plan the transport route before confirming a date, since the last leg is often the difficult one.

Is a 5 HP chaff cutter cum pulverizer enough for 30 dairy animals?

Comfortably. The Sivasagar farm runs 30 dairy animals and a few calves on this one machine, and the owner was impressed enough with its performance to recommend it to other farmers near him. The 5 HP model chaffs at 3 tons per hour, so a herd of that size is fed from a short daily run.
