Kuhn extends vertical auger diet feeder range

Kuhn Farm Machinery has extended its UK diet feeder range with the introduction of a new series of single vertical auger models offering feed-out to either side of the machine.

The Euromix I 80 series, which is designed to chop long fibre products (e.g. big bale silage/hay) and mix and distribute complete diets, includes models offering 9, 11 and 13 m3 capacities.

The single vertical auger is equipped with five serrated knives, and there are two adjustable counter knives positioned symmetrically in the body to accelerate fibre chopping.

Body shape and auger design are also adapted to ensure quick and even mixing of rations, and there is an electronic weighing system fitted as standard to allow ingredients to be metered in accurately.

Discharge is via a durable PVC full width conveyor belt that operates to either side of the machine and which can be offset to the right and left by 250mm. Optional equipment includes a tilting conveyor that can be fitted to extend the reach beyond the tractor outline, if required.

Euromix 1 80 series machines all have an inspection platform fitted as standard, allowing safe and convenient viewing of the mixing process. The series is suited to tractors in the 65 – 85 hp range and are supplied as standard with electric controls.
