Now it's worth making an overview of the lineup. This will help you better understand the specifications and benefits of each device.

Extremely simple and straightforward feed chopper. The design is a standard square compartment into which the grain is loaded. An electric motor with a power of 1350 watts is installed. It provides fast grinding of material, which can be different types of crops. The weight of 5.85 kg allows you to easily carry and transport this unit.

The case is made of durable metal that protects the internal structure of the device without weighing it down.

This modified model differs from the previous one in that it is equipped with a more efficient 1550 W motor, which increases the working volume of the grain crusher. In one hour of operation, you can process 400 kg of dry material.

Inexpensive feed cutter with which you can prepare fodder for livestock. Convenience of loading grain is provided thanks to the large compartment. Installation is the installation of the unit on a container. A metal case is responsible for the strength of the structure, which allows the equipment to withstand physical stress and damage.

As for the technical characteristics, among them we can note the power of the electric motor of 1350 watts. This indicator makes it possible for the grain crusher to process up to 350 kg of material per hour. The volume of the hopper is 14 liters, weight is 5.1 kg, due to which this unit can be located without any problems even in a small space.

A more advanced model, which does not differ from the previous one in its operation and principle of operation. The main differences are individual technical characteristics. Among them, one can single out the increased power of the electric motor up to 1550 W. Thanks to this improvement, the productivity has increased, and now it is 400 kg of dry feed per hour. It should be noted that the dimensions and weight remained the same, so this model is preferable for those consumers who need more efficient equipment.

As a result of the review, we can say that the model range of "Vortex" grain grinders is not rich in variety. But this assortment represents those units, the operation of which in domestic conditions is quite enough for the preparation of feed for animals and birds.

The process of operating a grain grinder involves several steps.

1. Install the unit on a container where the processed material will fall. It is important that the technique is in a stable position.
2. Close the shutter and fill the hopper with grain. Then turn on the unit by activating the switch.
3. Wait 2 seconds for the engine to reach the optimum RPM. Then close the damper 3⁄4 of its area.
4. After starting the device, make sure that the level of the finished material does not reach the lower grid. If the container is full, empty it and turn on the grain crusher again.
5. If you have completely processed all the material, then close the shutter, turn off the device through the switch, and then unplug the power cord.

Do not forget that the main part of the work is done by the electric motor, therefore, getting moisture inside the device is prohibited. This also applies to grain, because it should not be wet and contain debris, small stones and everything that gets on the cutting knives can negatively affect the operation of the device.

For more information on the structure of the equipment, read the instruction manual. There, in addition to basic information, you can find out the details of the repair and replacement of an element such as a sieve.

Among the main advantages, users note the power of the device. It copes not only with grain, but also with seeds, flour and everything that is used for feed for animals and poultry. In addition, reliability is considered a plus. Most buyers are satisfied that the Vortex crushers have served them for many years.

People who have purchased such a technique for the first time consider ease of use as an advantage. It is worth saying that consumers note the low weight and dimensions, due to which there are no problems with the placement of the units.

There are also disadvantages, and the most important of them is excessive power. Users are unhappy that there is no way to set a specific grind size. Instead, the device grinds everything practically into flour, which makes it difficult to harvest feed or mix it with other types of crops.
