7.3 Diet feeder capacity
Due to the diversity of the materials available for feeding and the KEENAN MechFiber
’s ability
to incorporate a wide range of feed types into the ration the capacity of the machine will vary.
Ensure that overloading is avoided at all times as mix quality will be seriously affected and
potential machine damage may result.
Overloading must be avoided because:
• The mix will not be homogenous (evenly mixed), preventing the maximum benefit being
gained from the machine.
• Mechanical failure will result. Due to the nature of the loading this may occur at load levels
below that necessary to break the shear bolt.
The overall amount of material that can be chopped/mixed in one load depends on the
following:
• Machine size.
• Overall dry matter of the TMR.
• The chop length and quality of the material added.
• The loading procedure and loading order of the materials used (this has a major effect on
machine capacity, e.g. the addition of straw first or last).
• Tractor H.P. rating.
CAUTION:
The machine can be overloaded, before the shear bolt breaks. Therefore not breaking
a shear bolt is not an indication that the machine is not being overloaded.
