The 25-year-old Malaysian woman was working on an industrial auger running off a conveyor belt and trapped her arm about 5.15pm on Wednesday.
She was flown to The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne in a serious but stable condition for emergency surgery.
It appears unlikely her arm, which was severed between her shoulder and elbow, will be reattached.
The woman works with her husband, who will travel to Melbourne on Thursday.
The man did not witness the incident.
Police are currently on scene waiting for WorkSafe to arrive.
