Exact amounts of high
moisture grain, supplement,
and other ingredients chosen
by the operator for his swine
ration are accurately
weighed as they are added to
the mixer. The scale allows
precise monitoring of feed.
When the desired amount of
ingredient has been added to
the mixer box, material flow

allow addition of premizes
and medication. This
opening is covered with an
expanded metal safety
grate.
An optional input auger
attachment allows mounting
of a hammer mill or roller
mill. The input auger pulls
grain directly from the mill
into the mixer, eliminating
need for a filling conveyor. A
vertical auger adaptor
which may be mounted
under the batch mixer is also
available. The adaptor
allows the mixed ration to be
transferred from the mixer
to overhead conveying
equipment.
The model 870 hammer
mill may be used with the
model 410 mixer’s optional
auger extension. Designed to
handle high-moisture grain,
the hammer mill is com
patible with other fciar
vestore automation
equipment so that it can be
integrated into a complete
livestock feeding system.
The mill utilizes 18 hard
faced hammers, staggered
for maximum efficiency.
The hammers are 4-way
reversible for long life and
the rotor assembly is spin
balanced for safe, smooth
operation.

Operators of the hammer
mill can control the flow of
grain into the mill with the
aid of a gate control lever.
The unit is also equipped
with a specially designed

No separation of feed
ingredients occurs as the
model 350 cleated belt grain
conveyor moves up to 400
pounds of feed per minute.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 5,1980—83
The standard hammer
mill is fitted with a 10-h.p.,
single-phase motor for
capacities up to 100 pounds
per minute. An optional 15-
h.p., three-phase motor is
available to give capacities
up to 120 pounds per minute.
The new model 350 cleated
belt grain conveyor moves
up to 400 pounds of feed per
minute. The cleated belt
design provides complete
clean-out and eliminates
separation of feed
ingredients. No other
manufacturer of automated
feed handling equipment has
employed a cleated belt in
ration conveying.
This quiet and efficient
product fits most hog
operations and works well in
many other livestock feeding

applications. It is easier to
install, has higher capacity,
requires less energy, and is
safer than conventional
grain conveying equipment.
Its low profile adapts it to
ceiling installation.
Troughs for the model 350
are available in 5-foot and 10-
foot sections. The unit’s 6-
inch wide PVC (polyvinyl
chloride) belt has 2-inch
cleats spaced at 8-inch in
tervals and constructed for
minimum friction and
stretch.
Since the cleated belt pulls
feed along its bottom, the
ration stays uniformly
mixed and additives are not
separated. Feed discharge
drops can be installed at any
location along the conveyor
for multiple discharge
points.
