Hazards of component failure due to machine overload!
Pay attention to the machine’s maximum load capacity and the filling sequence of the
individual feed elements.
Feed elements should freely move along the mixing augers into the mixing chamber.
Overloading can occur if feed elements catch on the delivery opening and form block-
ages.
Overloading negatively impacts the machine’s performance and service life. Dam-
ages resulting from overloading are not covered under the guarantee.
Briefly set the mixing auger’s drive to reverse if blockages have formed.
The total feed amount that can be mixed and chopped in a mixing chamber in a sin-
gle process depends on several factors:
capacity of the mixing chamber.
overall dry mass of the feed elements to be mixed.
Structure (stalk length and quality) of the individual feed elements.
Loading type and sequence.
Motor drive power.
The feed loading amount for a single mixing chamber load can vary depending upon
the different feed elements to be mixed. Do not overload the mixer when loading the
mixing chamber. In the event of an overload:
The individual feed elements cannot be evenly mixed.
This can lead to mechanical damage to motorized components.
Mixing auger cutting blades can bend.
To avoid high start-up torque, it is advisable to load the mixing chamber using a
power mixing auger (see Chapter „Beginning and concluding the mixing process“,
page 72).
1. Monitor for the presence of foreign objects in the mixing chamber prior to starting the mixer. Re-
move any foreign objects from the mixing chamber.
2. Where necessary, close opened dosing valves (see Chapter 4.15 beginning at page 48).
3. Direct all persons to leave the mixer’s loading area.
4. Begin the mixing process (see Chapter „Beginning and concluding the mixing process“, page 72).
5. Use a tractor, either a front loader or a wheel loader, to load the mixing chamber.
6.3.1 Recommended filling sequence
1. Load highly structured feed elements (hay, straw, etc.) into the mixing chamber using a power mix-
ing auger and allow these some mixing time prior to loading additional feed elements.
2. Add grass silage.
3. Add concentrated feed, grain feed, etc.
4. Load the mineral feed into the mixing chamber.
5. Load the corn silage and grain silage into the mixing chamber.
6. Add feed elements with a high water content such as brewer’s grains, potato pulp or beet pulp.
7. Add liquid components such as liquid yeast or molasses via the feeding hopper for mineral feed
(optional equipment).
