The new Cattle Maxx models operate efficiently and produce superior rolled feed, according to the company, delivered in the consistent, quality ration mix that beef operations require.
Highly configurable to specific needs, the new mixers have the following features to improve the efficiency of feed processing operations:
- A heavy-duty 20-inch roll on the model 6105 and a heavy-duty 30-inch roller mill on model 6530 ensure trouble-free operation and a long operating life. Each offers a 10-inch diameter roll, with 5, 7 or 10 grooves. For consistent mixes, an eccentric roller adjustment maintains accurate spacing.
- A choice between a flat groove roll (to ensure proper grain crimping or cracking), or sharp groove roll (to increase mill capacity while achieving desired micron particle sizes).
- Magnets installed in the mill's hopper side and throat collect tramp metal to minimize damage and increase longevity
- An optional scale system improves accuracy in feed formulation. Weigh bars and spindles are standard.
- A 46-degree (6105) and 60 degree (6530) max angle for discharge auger tube for greater unloading flexibility.
- More base machine options offer combinations of hydraulic and manual operations for the lift and swing auger and discharge auger. A hydraulic auger feeder is also optional. Folding and bolt-on auger extensions are also optional.
- The 6530 model is equipped with 36-gallon self-contained hydraulic tank for easy maintenance and a spring-loaded chain tensioner on the main drive chain ensures smooth operation.
- Additional large inspection windows on rear of the tank provide optimal viewing angles.
- A hinged access door on lower discharge on the 6530 to easily clear obstructions.
