Single-acting cylinders raise the auger against spring force. This design ensures constant down pressure for positive material engagement when the control val ues are in float It also permits the auger to float over objects that might otherwise cause damage to the system. The expeller’s slanted and stag gered paddle segments engage the material at different intervals with a slicing action that makes effi cient use of power and produces a consistent spread pattern up to 50 feet long. The paddle segments are bolted on for easy serviceability should replacement be needed. An optional deflector can be installed on the expeller gate to aid the breakup of small clumps of sticky material for a more even spread pattern. An expeller pan is available to help keep liquids from running under the expeller to the ground during unloading.
