Fodder mixing carriage

The self propelled fodder mixing trailer automates the cattle feeding process. The fodder is removed by a rotary hoe, transported into the mixing container and withdrawn over a cross belt.

  • The electronics controls the entire machine and is custom-made for the specific tasks. It consists of 4 units which are networked via CAN.

  • Due to the monitoring of the working hydraulics e.g. the infinitely variable settable RPM for the mixing screw and the speed of the cross belt, a homogeneous and loose mixture is made and the fodder can be produced uniformly and quickly.

  • All important functions can be monitored at a graphics terminal.

  • The control system for the hydrostatic drive causes an adapted, gentle drive in all operation modes.
    1. In the operation mode "automotive", the mixing trailer is driven up to its top speed with variable diesel RPM, adjustable with the throttle pedal.
    2. In the operation mode "tillage by rotary cutter", it is regulated to a constant high RPM with concurrent low driving speed for tillage, filling and mixing.
    3. In the operation mode "distribution" a constant, high RPM is used for distribution purposes

  • The electronics protects the diesel engine against overloading with load limit sensing controls and an overspeed regulator.

  • The brake pressure controller ensures a constant braking process.
