Stainless steel stops corrosion
Stainless steel stops corrosion
COMPLETE diet feeders were much in evidence at the event, their ability to utilise home-grown rations now clearly recognised.
One of the latest additions is the BvL StarMix-Duo, exhibited by AK Import.
A feature of the range – three models with capacities of 10, 12 and 14cu m – is the use of stainless steel in the barrel bottom to reduce damage from the corrosive effect of silage effluent.
Designed to handle big bales of straw, silage and hay, and root crops, the machines use twin contra rotating augers to shred and mix the material. Discharge can be to either side, with the conveyor direction and degree of chute opening electro-magnetically controlled from the tractor cab.
Externally mounted auger drive chains are self lubricating to cut maintenance and standard features include a basic weigher with a programmable system as an option.
Prices from £18,000 to £20,000. *
