5 Commissioning
The notices on the machine inform the user regarding proper use of the machine and must be
heeded. Illegible symbols must be replaced by new ones.
Check the oil level regularly.
• A lockable main switch must be installed by the customer. The main switch is not in-
cluded in the scope of supply.
• An emergency stop button for immediate shut down of the machine must be installed by
the customer and connected to the control system. The emergency off switch is not in-
cluded in the scope of supply.
5.3 Check the direction of rotation of the motor for the hydraulic unit
Before commissioning the machine for the first time, pay attention to the correct direction of
rotation of the motor.
• The mixing screws need to turn in a clockwise direction when viewed from above.
• If the direction of rotation is incorrect, the machine must be stopped immediately.
The poles of the electrical connection must be swapped without delay.
6 Operation
6.1 Loading
Filling the mixing hopper from a high level can cause falls.
WARNING
Risk to life from falling.
a) The mixing hopper must be filled from the ground.
Note
NOTICE
Remove all nets, straps and foils from the round and square bales.
Note
NOTICE
Round or square bales may not be loaded in models with a hopper volume of 3 m³ or 5 m³.
Recommended order of For smooth-running mixing with optimal mixing results, we recommend the following order
filling the feed ingredi- when filling the feed ingredients:
ents • Bulky, dry ingredients (hay, straw, etc.)
• Grass silage
• Concentrated feed: Fill concentrated feed when the mixing auger is switched off. This will
improve the weighing accuracy.
• Maize (corn) silage
• Wet components (spent grain, potato pulp, leftovers etc.)
• Liquid feed ingredients
• Liquid yeast
In principle the following Long feed before short, dry feed before wet.
applies: The mixing time depends on the type and structure of the feed ingredients as well as their cut
length.
The mixing process takes more time for coarse feed ingredients.
Setting the mixing augers to the fast speed during the filling process may cause con-
CAUTION siderable damage to property.
Risk of damage to property.
a) The mixing augers must rotate at a low speed during the filling process.
Note
NOTICE
Round or square bales may not be loaded in models with a hopper volume of 3 m³ or 5 m³.
Short free-flowing ingredients with a structure are considered to be unproblematic. The ma-
chine and feed unit will have difficulty processing if there is a large proportion of long mater-
ial that is wet and sticky (reduced output). In case of doubt, contact your SILOKING service
partner.
The machine must be disconnected from all sources of power and propulsion before work is
performed on the discharge door. The discharge door must be secured against accidental
closure.
As standard, the discharge door is manually opened and closed by a crank drive with spindle.
For machines with automatic operation, the discharge door is automatically opened and
closed via a double action hydraulic cylinder. In this case, the opening height can be set using
an adjustable limit switch.
6.3 Counter-blades
To achieve an optimal mixing result, the mixing hopper is equipped with counter-blades
which can be swivelled in and out, depending on the feed components in the mixing hopper.
The counter-blades prevent the feed components from rotating as well and reinforce the cut-
ting process.
Counter-blades enable the rapid processing of complete round or square bales.
Mechanically activated Use the control lever to swivel the counter-blades in or out in the mixing hopper. You can se-
counter-blades cure the desired position with locking pins (Item 1).
Swivelling in/out:
Three settings are possible for mechanically operated counter-blades:
• Swivel the counter-blade into the mixing hopper.
• Swivel the counter-blade half-way into the mixing hopper.
• Swivel the counter-blade out of the mixing hopper.
Illustration 11:
Rigidly screwed counter- The counter blades are located in the mixing hopper (Item 1) and are attached from the out-
blades side by hexagon screws (Item 2).
You can also remove the counter-blades if they are not required for your feed components.
Please make sure in this case to seal the screw holes to prevent feed from leaking.
Illustration 12:
The mixing time depends on the type and structure of the feed ingredients as well as their cut
length.
The mixing process takes more time for coarse feed ingredients.
You can keep machine wear to a minimum by using the low speed.

1. Place a suitable container under the bleed screw.
2. Open the bleed screw (1).
Cold gear oil is more viscous and runs through hose lines and the planetary gearbox with
more difficulty.
If you squeeze viscous gear oil through the planetary gearbox, you will damage the shaft seal-
ing ring and the planetary gearbox will leak.
Keep the gear oil in enclosed spaces at room temperature before use.

1. Open the hose clamp and pull out the equalisation
line (1)
After filling with gear oil, the mixing screw should be operated several times to result in the
actual oil level.
The optimum oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks. While the gear oil is cold and with
the machine horizontal.
If the planetary gearbox is filled with oil incorrectly, it can cause serious damage.
In the days after changing the oil, the oil level must be checked several times before starting
up the machine.

Illustration 30:
Dull and worn blades increase power consumption and impair the mixing process.
Replace the blades in due time to reduce power consumption, decrease mixing time and im-
prove the mixing result.
Correctly sharpened blades ensure optimal cutting of feed ingredients and longer shelf life of
the blades.

Angle setting The cutting blades have the following factory default settings:
Bottom cutting blade (Item 3): completely pivoted inward (Item 7)
Second cutting blade from below (Item 4): intermediate position (Item 6)
Other cutting blades: pivoted all the way out (Item 5)
Depending on the feed ingredients, the blades can also be individually adjusted.
• Bottom blade (Item 3)
After installing the blade, turn the blade one full revolution by hand. If the blade rubs up
against the hopper wall, reduce the angle.
• Second blade from below (Item 4)
After installing the blade, turn the blade one full revolution by hand. If the blade rubs up
against the pivoted in counter blade, reduce the angle.
• Top blade (Item 1)
With some mixing augers, the top blade cannot be installed at the smallest angle (Item 7). If
the blade rubs up against the stiffening plate of the auger flight, increase the angle.
Particularly when processing bulky feed ingredients, feed may accumulate between the turbo
flight (Item 8) and the second blade from below (Item 4): Remove the blade completely from
the machine.
Inspecting the scraping The clearance between the scraping bar and the bottom plate or SILONOX lining (option) of
bar the mixing hopper should be 3 mm at the closest point.
If this dimension is shown to deviate during the inspection, then the scraping bar must be im-
mediately readjusted.
Clearance too ● The mix can collect under the scraping bar and cause damage
great ● The mix itself can be impaired
Clearance too ● The scraping bar can scrape on the hopper plate and damage the scrap-
small ing bar and/or mixing screw.
● The scraping bar can grind on the SILONOX lining and seriously damage
it.
Readjusting the scraping 1. Loosen the scraping bar screws (1) manually.

Ensure that the conveyor belt is set to the correct tension before each start-up. Too high or
too low tension may cause damage.
The belt should sag in the middle by 1- 2 cm in order to achieve optimal tension.
The conveyor belt must not touch the frame of the conveyor belt or rub up against the ma-
chine.
Watch out for variations in temperature. The belt shrinks with cold and expands with heat.
