The Art’s-Way 6105 Grinder Mixer is driven by a
PTO driveline of 40 hp to 150 hp tractors. (Figure 6,
Detail A) When using tractors over 150 hp, limit
input. It is available only with a 540 RPM drive.
Hammermill respective speed should be
maintained as the hammermill cylinder operates
best at 2800 to 3000 RPM. (Figure 6, Detail B)
Hammermill cylinder must not exceed 3000 PRM.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE A 540 RPM
PROCESSOR WITH A 1000 RPM
TRACTOR.
Before operating your grinder mixer, select and
install the screen size desired. Sizes are available
from 1/8 to 2 inch openings. For screen selection
guidelines, refer to OPERATION OF GRINDER
MIXER - Hammermill Screens.
All types of grain can be ground with the
hammermill. Hay can be ground with a minimum of
1/3 mixer of grain. Material is fed into the
hammermill where it is ground until it can pass
through the screen size selected. From the
hammermill, the material is augered into the mixing
tank. (Figure 6, Detail C) A suction fan takes air
pressure out of the hammermill housing and
delivers feed fines into the dust collector. (Figure 6,
Detail D) The fines are separated and then dropped
into the mill to mixer auger.
