Badger Northland Combines Volume, Economy In Conveyor KAUKAUNA, WI Built tough for maximum power and efficiency, the Badger 8N7960 Bolt Conveyor has been specially designed for high volume, bulky feed delivery. This heavy-duty belt conveyor features a 16” wide, high capacity design that allows it to move over 45,000 lbs. per hour. And a choice of three different belts - Smooth Surface for inclines of up to 10 degrees, Rough Textured for inclines of up to 20 degrees or Chevron for inclines of up to 35 degrees - make this Badger con veyor perfect for any type of oper ation. Each belt is PVC-coated to maintain flexibility and peak per formance in all temperatures. Economy is a big feature on the 8N7960, with special designs built in to save your operation time and money over the life of the convey v ■■ »«<►* control of the twine for positive wiping action, and makes the knot ter more dependable. Ball joint style pull links assure easy and accurate adjustment. A timing slot has been added to the bale case to make it easier to position the plungerhead accurate ly when timing the needles. Features valued by hay farmers on earlier models have been retained, such as the equal-angle hitch, channel strippers with flanges to reduce tooth wear, an offset pickup to provide more usable area and keep tractor tires away from the windrow, a crank to adjust the pickup to accurate work ing height or for transport (hydraulic lift available), low profile pickup to minimize lift and save leaves and short material, removable compressors that adjust to nine positions to match volume, an auger designed to reduce leaf loss and match incoming volume for high capacity, and a large feed opening that closes momentarily on compression strokes so each charge is precompressed before entering the bale chamber, result ing in uniform bale density. or. A drive unit with simple, dou ble reduction design means low horsepower requirements of 'A to 5 hp depending on conveyor length. Also included on the con veyor are a trough system with gre ater strength and extra capacity and an idler unit which doesn’t trap feed, reducing belt maintenance and increasing longevity. These added “extras” are stan dard on the Badger 8N7960 Belt Conveyor. Put them all together and they add up to an excellent choice for the conveying needs of any size operation. A specialized option package can also be created to suit specific conveying requirements. For further information contact: Badger Northland, Inc., 1215 Hyland Avenue, P.O. Box 1215, Kaukauna, WI 54130-0912.
