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

Note
NOTICE
Round or square bales may not be loaded in models with a hopper volume of 3 m³ or 5 m³.

1. Remove all nets, straps and foils from the bales.


2. Rotate the counter blades into the mixing hopper.
3. Switch the mixing auger to low speed.
4. With the mixing auger's drive speed low, load the bale in the hopper.
5. Completely break down the bales.
6. Add additional feed ingredients .
7. Rotate the counter blades out of the hopper if necessary.

Properties of the feed in-


gredients The properties of the feed ingredients must be suitable for processing with a vertical feed
mixing unit. Only materials that correspond to the generally valid empirical data in this area
may be used.

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.

6 | Operation SILOKING

6.2 Discharge door

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.

7.6 Changing / adjusting the cutting blades

The mixing auger contains sharp cutting blades.


WARNING
Risk of injury due to cutting or severing
a) Secure the cutting blades with a guard.
b) Before installation, remove the cutting blades located in the hazard area where the in-
stallation work will take place.

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.

Replacing the blades: 1. Step into the mixing hopper.


2. Secure the blades with a guard.
3. Remove the blades.
4. Depending on the amount of wear, have the blades sharpened or replace them.
5. Screw each of the blades back into the mixing auger at the correct angle. Depending on
the model, make sure that the blades are screwed onto the blade stiffener (Item 1).
6. StaticLine Feeding: the two top blades
7. StaticLine Biogas: all blades

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.

7.7 Setting the mixing screw's scraping bar


The mixing screw's main flight and turbo flight are equipped with adjustable scraping bars.
In order to achieve an optimal mixing result at all times, it is necessary to inspect the scraping
bar at regular intervals and to readjust or replace it as needed.

People with pacemakers must stay away from magnets.


DANGER
Danger due to magnetic radiation.
