Strautmann Verti Mix Double K - Cutting Knives of Mixing Augers

Structure and Functions
5.1.1 Cutting knives of mixing augers
Fig. 16
In the mixing container, the fodder components
filled in are chopped and mixed by means of the
mixing augers (2) equipped with the cutting
knives (1). The number of cutting knives
mounted on a mixing auger depends on the
diameter and the height of the mixing auger.
Additional scrapers (3) mounted opposite the
front auger end of the respective mixing augers
ensure a uniform discharge of the mixed fodder
components.
The cutting knives (1) may be screwed onto the
mixing auger in a degressive position (4)
(standard) and in an aggressive position (5).
Adjustment of the cutting knives permits to
individually adapt the mixing system to the
operating conditions and the structure of the
fodder components to be mixed.
• Degressive position of cutting knives
For fodder components already cut short
when being filled into the mixing container.
• Aggressive position of cutting knives
For long-fibre fodder components (e. g.
round bale silage, straw). The aggressive
position of the cutting knives requires an
increased driving power at the p.t.o. shaft of
the tractor.
