In addition to our well-known range of paddles feeders we also offer vertical auger machines which are specially designed for the handling of round and big square bales.
The Hi-Spec Vertical Feeders use a central mixing and chopping auger to produce a market leading quality mix in a machine that is simple to maintain, has a low horsepower requirement and an exceptional reliability record. Unique to the Hi-Spec range of Vertical Feeders is the fitting of a discharge roller system as standard which provides a very consistent feed discharge rate.
Features of the Vertical Feeder include a unique auger design producing a faster and better mix, consistent feedout rates due to the unique Hi-Spec discharge roller s ystem, faster cutting of bales due to unique auger knife arrangement, high quality self-sharpening knives and an electronic weighing system for accurate mixing. Hi-Spec Vertical Feeders are robust, user friendly machines which improve farm profitability. With a Hi-Spec you’ll have a healthier happier herd.
The vertical diet feeder works by using a central auger to carry out both the mixing and chopping functions.The auger does this in a very simple cycle action, drawing the feed up and then allowing it to fall to the outside of the diet feeder and be drawn back down for the cycle to begin again.The auger is fitted with self sharpening chopping knives and during this auger mixing cycle the feed is being constantly chopped.The end result is a feed which is thoroughly mixed and has a length of 5 – 10cm depending on the operator’s desired result.
Designed and built as strong and reliable machines with simplicity of operation and maintenance the Hi-Spec V-series enjoys many advantages over competitors.
