Automatic milling
The mixing is done in an eight
foot-tall tank, which is only 36
inches in diameter. In its center is
an eight-inch auger.
“This narrow tank assures more
uniform mixing,” according, to
Martin.
“In larger, tanks, as on a PTO
operated gnnder-mixer, some of
the ingredients can be missed in
the mixing.”
A two-fold mixing operation is
featured, including within the tank
and the elevation of the ration from
BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT...
SPRINKLER COOLING SYSTEM
(Not Fogger)
HE PRQBLEM^^M
The. sprinkle cycle is turned on automatically
whenever the barn temperature rises above a preset
level 72° F. Throughout this “on” period the control
functions to permit sprinkling to occur for a preset time
period each hour. (2 minutes/hour is recommended for
best results.) When the barn temperature drops below
72° F the cycle is automatically interrupted.
The nozzles are clamped to a plastic.pipe strung over
the gutter of slatted area at the rear of the pen. Each
nozzel covers a 5-6 foot diameter area which usually
means one nozzle per pen. The nozzle assures a coarse
droplet spray pattern which is important for maximum
cooling. A fine mist of fog is not desirable in
geographical-areas of generally high summer relative
humidity.

After a five-minute mix cycle,
the ration is automatically
unloaded and augured to its pre
selected- location. The system
continues on to prapare another
batch.
Feed was sampled from the
system and was found to be within
about 50 parts per million of
uniformity.
The system also features a built

THE SOLUTION:
When the temperature is above 72° F
even ventilation can’t cure the stress that
results. But a sprinkler cooling system can
help your hogs where nature fell short,
giving them a chance to cool off. It sprays
them with coarse water droplets to reduce
their body temperature. The idea is
simple, but extremely effective.

cycle, tui example, if an
ingredient should run out during a
cycle or an auger belt tear during
unloading, the system would be
shut down and the audible alarm
activated after the 10-nunute tune
limit for that particular operation.
“We wanted a system that not
only weighed ingredients ac
curately, but that could be ser
viced by a farm electrician,”
Martin said.
“With the schematic we provide
the system is simple enough to be
maintained with such service.”
