Under-sink water filter
removes chemicals
SHEBOYGAN, Wise. - A new
chemical contaminant filtering
system that will remove up to 99
percent of EDB, TCE, PCE and
other dangerous chemicals that
could be present in household
drinking and cooking water is now
available from AMETEK’s
Plymouth Products Division,
Sheboygan, W 153081.
Designed for easy under-sink
installation, the thoroughly tested
system (Model CCF-201) features
a precisely regulated flow rate to
give water sufficient contact time
with carbon granules in the twin
filter housings to absorb foul tastes
and odors, and remove 97-99
percent or more of THM, EDB,
PCE, TCE, DBCP and other
hazardous chemicals.
A new filtering system introduced by AMETEK will remove
up to 99 percent of dangerous chemicals from drinking water.
Henry Field’s offers new seed
varieties for ’B5
SHENANDOAH, la. - New
developments in plant breeding
have made their way onto the
pages of Henry Field Seed and
Nursery Company’s 1985 Spring
Catalog.
Accoring to Neil Birney, mer
chandise manager, his company
will feature two new All-America
winners in their latest spring
catalog. “And we have many other
fine new varieties, too,” Birney
added. “Our new selections for
1985 include everything from
apples to zinnias.”
A busy gardener might try
“Slenderwax Beans” and “Honey
Gold Sweet Corn.” There’s no
waiting for the yellow color to
develop with Slenderwax. The
To maximize performance, the
system features a unique “Ef
fective Life Indicator” which
monitors water usage and
automatically shuts off the flow of
water at 1500 gallons, thus
reminding the user that it is time to
change cartridges. At a maximum
flow rate of one gal/minute, the
system is ideal for long-term, low
water volume uses such as
household sinks, and laboratories.
The chemical contaiminant filter
system can be easily installed by
the do-it-yourselfer. It includes a
separate faucet, 2 filter housings
with cartridges, effective life in
dicator, water pressure reducer,
saddle tapping valve, flow
restrictor, mounting bracket and
associated hardware and tubing.

Incorporating the same features as its big brother, the 9720 Harvest Boss, White
Farm Equipment's new mid-size 9320 will be available in April.
White introduces new
midsize rotary combine
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - White
Farm Equipment recently in
troduced its 9320 Harvest Boss
Combine, a new mid-size rotary
design in a mid-size package,
which the company calls the most
advanced machine in its class.
Backed by more than 1,000 man
years of engineering, design and
testing effort, the machine offers,
in a smaller package, all proven
features and benefits of its big
brother, the 9720 rotary combine,
the world’s largest capacity
combine.
The 9320 is ideal for most
medium to large farms, for
example, 1,000-plus acres of
wheat; 700 or more acres of com or
soybeans. It is designed for the
farmer who told White Farm that
the 9720 combine was the best he
had ever seen, but it was just too
big for his operations.
The mid-size combine, according
to White Farm, offers the best
value for any machine of the same
competitive capacity. The com
pany says the White Farm axial
flow process provides the best
system for harvesting maximum
bushels per hour. The patented
White Farm impeller-beater ac
celerates the crop to develop axial
flow. Less power is required to
achieve maximum capacity. The
exclusive long, large diameter
rotor provides more threshing and
POUND, Wise. Patz has just
added Blender/Mixers to the Patz
line of feed-handling equipment.
With optional scales, you can
formulate and blend rations to
meet the exact needs of your
cattle. And you can get the
greatest production from your
available feeds for maximum
profit.
Patz Blender/Mixers feature a
rotating drum for fast, efficient
tumble mixing of feeds. YoQ get
complete mixing without feed
separation from overmixing.
The rotating drum with internal
conveying flights and a single
recirculating auger assure com
plete mixing. This provides con
tinuous feed flow as feed enters,
moves to the back and is recir
culated to the front by a central
auger for fast, thorough mixing.
Often mixing is done by the time
the last ingredient is added.
You can add feeds in any order,
and Patz Blender/Mixers also
handle chopped hay.
Patz Blender/Mixers are
designed for efficient feed flow
while mixing. No reversing auger
direction, no friction drives or
clutches. Just flip a lever to change
separating area to handle more
crop at one time and get more
grain out of it. Because the crop
mat makes multiple passes
through wider concave clearances,
at relatively low rotor speeds,
grain is handled gently and there is
less grain loss.
The entire process is designed to
keep the crop moving in one
continuous flow, from intake to
exhause. Because the rotor is
mounted through the length of the
combine, the axial motion is
straight through, which eliminates
bunching and plugging.
The horsepower draw on the
large powerplant has been evened
out by the efficiency of the rotary
system, which makes operation
smoother and more fuel efficient.
Ease of the operation is a major
feature of the 9320. In the header
area, the - patened White Farm
bolted knife sections make repairs
and changes easier. The combine’s
direct drive reel motors eliminate
bearings, chains and idlers for
fewer failures and less main
tenance. White’s optional
hydraulic reel front and back
allows the operator to easily
control the reel position for the
best crop cutting.
A key feature is the adjustable
feeder stand which allows easy
service in the cylinder and concave

area
Compared to the conventional
machines, fewer moving parts in
the simple rotary design of the 9320
mean greater reliability and more
up time.
Cleaning is another highlight of
the 9320. With a 14 percent larger
cleaning area and larger diameter
fan than other mid-size rotary
combines, the White Farm rotary
has a much higher capacity
cleaning system, which means the
job getsdone faster.
There is no need to go through
the rear of the grain bin to service
the front of the engine. The engine
is completely enclosed to protect
from weather and dust, but in less
than a minute, the panels can be
opened to easily perform routine
maintenance functions.
The fueling stops are less
frequent because of the large
capacity tank. The 9320 has a 100-
gallon tank. Refueling can be done
quickly and easily with safe footing
from the front ladder deck.
Increased comfort for the
operator for long time periods in
the field has been addressed by
White Farm in its cab and control
designs; the single lever multi
function control is a major ad
vancement.
The 9320 Harvest Boss combine
will be at dealerships in April.
