4.2 MACHINE COMPONENTS
The Mayo Manufacturing Straight or Telescoping
Conveyor is designed with one or two belted or chain
conveyors to move potatoes. Each conveyor is pow-
ered by an electric motor through a speed-reducing
gear box. All controls are mounted on the left side of
the frame. The telescoping feature allows the frame
length to change by 18 to 22 feet depending on the
model.
FIG. 1 MACHINE COMPONENTS
Manual ratchet jacks are used to set the height of the
machine for minimizing drop height. A frame on the
intake end can be used to mount stingers for unload-
ing trucks. An optional hitch frame on the discharge
end can be used to attach the machine to other Mayo
equipment.
An optional hydraulic power pack is available to pro-
vide pressurized oil for cylinders or the optional self-
mover feature.
