In addition to our well-known range of paddles feeders we also offer vertical auger machines which are specially designed for the handling of round and big square bales.

Using a central low pitch mixing and chopping auger the Hi-Spec range of vertical diet feeders produce a market leading quality mix in a machine that is simple to maintain, has a low horsepower requirement and an exceptional reliability record.

CONSISTENT FEEDOUT
Unique to the Hi-Spec range of vertical diet feeders is the fitting of a discharge roller system as standard; this provides as very consistent feed discharge rate without the need for the feed to be finely chopped.The V-series chops feed to lengths in the range of 5-10cm; this range has being proven to offer the most nutritional value and highest yield. Other vertical auger feeders in the market cannot offer this feedout consistency without chopping the feed into very short lengths; which can have negative effects on yield. With a Hi-Spec you’ll have a healthier happier herd.

The vertical diet feeder works by using a central auger to carry out both the mixing and chopping functions.The auger does this in a very simple cycle action, drawing the feed up and then allowing it to fall to the outside of the diet feeder and be drawn back down for the cycle to begin again.The auger is fitted with self sharpening chopping knives and during this auger mixing cycle the feed is being constantly chopped.The end result is a feed which is thoroughly mixed and has a length of 5 – 10cm depending on the operator’s desired result.

Designed and built as strong and reliable machines with simplicity of operation and maintenance the Hi-Spec V-series enjoys many advantages over competitors.

The Hi Spec V-series enjoy the following advantages:

• Unique auger design produces a faster and better mix.
• Faster cutting of bales because of unique knife arrangement.
• Lower horse power requirement because of our auger design.
• Complete emptying of feed from the body.
• Only two double acting hydraulic tractor valves required to carry out all hydraulic functions – no extra valves required even with an elevator or cross conveyor fitted.
• Direct mounting of the auger to the heavy duty planetary gearbox for simplicity, easy maintenance and excellent reliability.
• Easily accessible gearbox oil reservoir fitted as standard.
• Knives mounted on 15mm steel plate brackets for added strength.
• High quality self sharpening knives.
• Curved in top section of body to prevent feed spillages when mixing while giving additional strength to the body.
• High quality British steel used throughout, 8mm plate in outer body, 15mm plate for the mixing auger and 20mm plate complete with reinforcing in the floor.
