Standard Backing Plate vs Extended Backing Plate
High Roughage Rations
instance the addition of one or possibly two extended backing plates, will aid in the delivery of the ration. In most cases
positioning the extended backing plate in the third or fourth position (or both) will improve delivery; and help to push
material out of the discharge door and ensure the accurate and even delivery of feed.

Hard Core Bales
processing the cores of these bales. In most cases the addition of an extra knife assembly to the auger(s) will rectify this
auger. This will allow the knife to cut further into the core of the bale; reducing the processing time.
Extended Backing Plates
In certain applications the addition of extended backing plates can improve the performance of the feed processor. Keep
in mind that adding extended backing plates will cause an increase in horsepower requirements. Never place an extended
backing plate on the very top knife position of an auger.
CAUTION
Never place an extended backing plate on the very
top knife position of any auger. This will cause undue
stress on the upturned portion of the top flighting.
The continuous loading of large, whole, round
and square bales may cause the top portion of he
flighting to bend down, greatly reducing the quality
of mix in the ration.
NOTICE
It is important to note that adding extended backing plates
will cause an increase in horsepower requirements.
