Process your own grain

Crack barley, wheat, corn and more on farm, when you need it — no contractor, no processing margin.

Consistent crush

A German Multicracker gives one of the most uniform crushes on the market — no over-processing, and very little fine material (dust) produced.

Galvanised & portable

Hot-dip galvanised, compact and portable, with a plug-in power inlet and simple controls.

Simple, reliable milling

From silo to crushed grain in one step

The M1 Basic draws grain from up to two inputs, protects the mill with a built-in magnet, cracks it through the Multicracker and sends it straight out to a silo or feed wagon — with the PLC controlling the process the whole time.

01

Feed in

Up to two grain inputs feed the modular turret from any direction. Through-boot systems let several silos share one auger input.

02

Protect

A built-in magnet separator catches ferrous metal, and the Multicracker's spring-back system lets hard objects pass without damage. An optional grain cleaner screens out sticks, stones and debris before the mill.

03

Mill

The Multicracker cracks grain to an even, consistent size. The PLC monitors mill motor current and throughput for maximum efficiency.

04

Deliver

The included 90 mm flexible output auger adapter sends crushed grain straight into a silo or feed wagon.

German-engineered Multicracker®

Both models use MAKOBA's multi-disc grinding unit for a uniform crush with very little fine material and no heating of the grain, with three disc profiles — coarse, medium or fine — and grinding gap adjustment by hand.

MC4A Multicracker

4 kW · 3-phase

MC4A

OutputUp to 3 t/hr*

MC8A

OutputUp to 8 t/hr*
Motor7.5 kW or 11 kW, 3-phase

For higher daily tonnages and bigger feeding programs.

* Up-to figures. Throughput depends on grain type, moisture and crush setting. Suits barley, corn, wheat, soybeans, poultry feed and much more.

Designed & built by K&W

Simple to run, built to last

Integrated PLC and touchscreen

Integrated PLC & touchscreen — controls the mill and monitors load from one control panel.

Mill load monitoring

The integrated PLC watches mill motor current and throughput, keeping the mill working at its most efficient.

Magnet separator

A built-in magnet removes ferrous metal from the grain stream before it reaches the discs.

Foreign object protection

The Multicracker's spring-back system lets stones and hard objects pass without damaging the mill.

Plug-in power

3-phase 5-pin plug — just plug in. No fixed wiring on site.

Hot-dip galvanised

A robust hot-dip galvanised finish stands up to weather, dust and years of daily use.

Built around your inputs

The modular turret is designed to your silos and ingredients, with multiple inputs configured for your site from day one.
