PROCESSOR ROLL LUBRICATION

In wet conditions, the silage rejects large amounts of fluids when passing through the processor rolls that may
contaminate the roller bearings. It is highly recommended to increase the greasing frequency of the grease
chambers behind the bearing (item 1) every 4 hours of operation.
