Alltech KEENAN MechFiber340 - Weighing System Details; Weighing System Components and Function

Revision G04 July 2018
SODAGRAIN: Additional safety instructions and warnings are available and
covered in a soda grain leaet which should be read carefully before soda
treating grain. When nished treating grain, clean out any remaining material in
the mixing and/or auger chamber by loading in 200-300 kg of silage or 50 kg
of straw and allow the machine to mix before unloading in the normal manner.
Note that when mixing soda grain, the maximum gross load that can be mixed
in the KEENAN MechFiber340 is 5,000 kg and for the KEENAN MechFiber360 is
6,000 kg.
The soda grain process can be completed using a KEENAN mixer but before
treatment on your farm make sure you are adhering to local animal feed
legislation and health and safety guidelines involving the treatment of grain.

WARNING:
Failure to follow the safety guidelines above may lead
to accident or injury.
6. Weighing System
The weighing system is designed to be simple to operate, accurate and robust.
It consists of four load cells connected to a weighbox unit (readout box) at the
front of the machine. The system uses 12-volt DC power from the tractor, or
battery if tted. The weighbox unit can be rotated for visibility during loading and
from the tractor cab, but should be folded out of the line of the tractor wheel for
road work. Loads are displayed in kilograms or lbs with scale increments of 5
kg/10 lb. The unit is capable of measuring up to 18,140 kg (39,999 lbs) with the
appropriate weighbars. The system is maintenance-free, being fully electronic
with no moving parts. All components are sealed against moisture and dust and
are resistant to frost and corrosion. The unit should, however, not be directly
exposed to a high-pressure water jet. The weighbox unit may vary from model
to model and region to region. A separate manual is supplied for your weighbox
unit, which you should refer to for specic operating instructions.
