•*•1
Reel Auggie Mixing Chamber
The reel tumi slowly ind gently lifts material
into the two blending augers. The lower auger
is notched and moves the material forward.
The upper auger, which moves the material
rearward, features replaceable knives which
assist the blending of long baled hay or other
tough roughage materials.
Advantages of the Reel Auggie Design
* No more mixing by force and pressure
* Blending long hay, other roughages, and by-product materials.
* Reduced mixing time with lower horsepower requirements.
* Reduced material breakdown, fluffier material consistency and
faster, more even unloading.
* Power chute optional in tow and truck mount applications.
