OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - BelMix T659 FEED TRAILER
The feeder wagon consists of the following main assemblies:
•
chassis (frame, axle and two driving wheels, tow bar, tow bar
support);
•
pneumatic brake system;
•
drive unit (telescopic jointed shaft I, intermediate shaft or 2-gear
transmission, telescopic jointed shaft II, intersecting axis gear
transmission);
•
mixing and cutting unit (tank and worm screw mixer with blades
driven by an intersecting axis gear transmission);
•
discharge unit (gate with a hydraulic actuator, discharge openings);
•
weighing system;
•
lighting equipment for travelling on public roads.
The feed components charged to the tank are cut by the mixer blades
and mixed together, and then discharged through the discharge
openings into the trough or to the feeding passage. The cutting and
mixing process is visually inspected from the service platform which
is also used for manual loading of bulk feed. There is a retaining ring
at the top of the feeder wagon's tank which prevents from falling
out of the feed with a high content of straw, hay or silage of grass.
The tank bottom deviates from flat by 10 mm due to design and
processing concerns.
4.1. WEIGHING SYSTEM
4.1.1. WEIGHING SYSTEM
The feeder wagons come with an electronic weighing system with four
independent weighing sensors and 50 programmable feed recipes.
Up to 30 different ingredients or components of specific weight can be
entered for each programmable recipe. The total weight of components
is displayed on the screen when the ingredients are charged to the
tank. The weighing system allows keeping the exact proportions of
components according to the recipe.
Detailed information about operation of the weighing
system can be found in the operating manual issued by
the device manufacturer. The manual is enclosed with
the present Operating Instructions.
