MACHINE COMPONENTS
The machine is designed with a PTO powered vertical auger. The vertical auger cuts and mixes
a variety of feed ration ingredients into an even, uniform mixture. Knives located on the periphery
of the auger flights cut material as the auger rotates in a clockwise rotation. Restrictor blades
located at the front left and rear right corners of the mixing chamber are adjustable to regulate
cutting action of feed rations. A planetary gearbox located under the auger center post provides
rotation to the auger.
The planetary gearbox is equipped with a remote oil reservoir to display oil level and condition.
The input driveline is equipped with a shear bolt to protect the drivetrain against shock loads.
Correct shear bolt must be utilized. Some models may be equipped with a 2-speed transmission
option, which offers a selection between High Gear and Low Gear.
On all models, a hydraulically powered unloading door is opened to allow the mixed feed ration
out of the mixing chamber. Discharge options include front door, front corner door, left-center
side door, and right-center side door and rear door.
On front door discharge models, the feed ration is distributed onto a hydraulically powered chain
slat conveyor option. There are various conveyor options that are explained in the sections that
follow.
On left and right center side door discharge models, the feed ration is distributed onto a chute
and then onto the ground immediately below.
On rear door discharge models, the feed ration is distributed onto the ground immediately below.
This option is useful for customers desiring premixed rations that can be stocked and used later.
Standard models include a 3-point weighing system to monitor the amount of feed ration inside
the mixing chamber. This system incorporates weigh bars located at the hitch and axle
assemblies, and a scale indicator option usually located at the front of the machine.
