Spirmix S Trap Door 1 auger 8 – 14
The Spirmix S Trappe range of single auger low level mixers consists of 6 models from 8 – 14 m3. These mixers have been developed with the aim of providing a compact mixed ration feeding solution with a reduced overall height. These mixers can feed a herd of 40 to 90 head in one pass. These machines can be used to mechanise farms with as few as 30 head with very low-power tractors.
These single auger mixers are equipped with a distribution trap which is perfectly suited to rations consisting mainly of silage. As standard, the 70 x 100 cm distribution flap is on the right-hand side, but in order to adapt to different building configurations, it is possible to customise the mixer with other distribution traps. To facilitate distribution, the mixture slides on a flap located under the trap in order to move it away from the wheel axis.
- Front right feeding trap door
- Mixing auger equipped with 6 reversible tungsten carbide knives height 1100 mm
- 2 Manual cut-off plates
- Not programmable weighing box X 400 (except 80 S - 100 S)
- Single gear model
- The standard machine uses 1 hydraulic function
To offset the ration during the distribution, it’s possible to add as an option an automatically folding mechanical flap acting with the opening or closing of the trap door. The mix slides off of the flap on the trap door onto the floor offset by 20cm from the wheel.
Depending on the density, the ingredients in the ration and the capacity of the mixer, it is essential to customise the mixing auger. Each auger can accept 8 or 10 knives per auger. The angle of attack of the knives can be adjusted to increase their aggressiveness. It is also possible to add a Neodymium Magnet on the auger which allows the recovery of ferrous foreign matter.
The material moves better in a smooth rolled tank because it is not subjected to various constraints. As a result, the ration is mixed naturally and more effectively. The power required for a mix is reduced to a minimum. The smooth flared shape means that a homogeneous mixture can be obtained faster. The round design of the tank automatically extends the life of the tank. Aware of the intensive use of diet feeders, the tanks are made from HEL (High Elastic Limit) steel absorbing the stresses related to loading, mixing and to moving the laden machine.
Lucas G stepped augers have a unique shape that allows the ration to be cut and aerated through the steps that amplify the mixing of the ration for perfect homogeneity. As standard, the augers are equipped with 6 knives. It is possible to have 8 or 10 knives per auger and to adjust the angle of attack to increase the aggressiveness and thus cut the fibre more quickly. The screw blades have a tungsten carbide coating and are reversible to ensure a longer service life.
Each auger is driven by a planetary gearbox mounted halfway up the auger for a better stability and to reduce lateral resistance during mixing. These gearboxes are tested for intensive use and are independently protected by shear bolt to prevent damage.
All the vertical auger diet feeders are equipped with tank reinforcement which prevents deformation of the feeders. This reinforcement limits pressure on the planetary units and the weigh cells during displacement and loading phases to prevent damage.
The Spirmix S low profile mixers have been developed to fit into all livestock buildings. The axle is positioned to offer a very low overall height and high manoeuvrability, on the single auger models it is located at the rear of the bowl to reduce its size.
Mixers are equipped with 2 oversized and manual cut-off plates of 85 cm as standard, they are reversed and located on rear right and front left of the tank side. These cut-off plates are adjustable in 5 positions to speed up the cutting process and to block the fibre at the bottom of the tank.As an option, it’s possible to equip the machine with hydraulic cut-off plates.
