NEW SERIES 102 ROLLFEEDMOBILE ANNOUNCED
Greater productive capacity coupled with
greatly increased operating efficiency and
decreased fuel consumption are in
corporated in the 1981 version of the well
known mobile feed processing machine,
the Series 102 FEEDMOBILE
This mobile feed mill that processes
animal and poultry feeds on the farm
where they are used from farm produced
grains and roughages has been completely
re-engineered to reduce weight by more
than 20% to reduce operating fuel con
sumption by more than 33%. At the same
time productive capacity and speed has
been increased A completely re-designed
drive tram has fewer bearings, chain and
belt drives and gear boxes with the result
that friction has been materially reduced
to lower power demand
Productive capacity has been increased
to 1,000 pounds per minute by enlarging
the mouth of the patented underfed ham
mermdl The hammermill will handle
whfele bales or roughage at lower rpm’s
OPERATOR AND
SALESMAN WANTED
' ♦
The 102 cubic foot capacity mixer in
cludes micro control for more accurate
proportioning of feed ingredients A new
feature that further improved ingredients
proportioning is an optional, automatic
scale
The new design also facilitates
maintenance by reducing the number of
.belt and chain adjustments and
replacements needed to keep the 1981
FEEDMOBILE in continuous, productive
operation
The 1981, Series 102 FEEDMOBILE is
available equipped with the new hammer
mill, with an improved, high-pressure
roller or a combination of these two
systems for processing farm grown
materials to make highly productive
animal and poultry feeds with much lower
fossil fuel consumption, less labor and at
lower operating costs
