 Gearbox and Driveline System
Always Perfect Auger Speed for
Increased Productivity
The New Generation DUO mixers can
be fitted with a hydraulically operated
2-speed gearbox, allowing the operator to
always run with the perfect auger speed
during cutting, mixing and feed-out. This
reduces working hours and increases
productivity. Setting the correct auger
speed for different processes will optimize
the mixing process significantly:
• 20 rpm for gentle mixing to maintain
effective fibre.
• 35 rpm for fast cutting or discharge,
reducing mixing time and delivering a
perfect feed length.
10
• 64 rpm for complete discharge and
cleaning of the hopper.
The gearbox speed is conveniently
changed from the driver seat via the
Wireless Control System and tractor
hydraulics. The gearbox is adapted to all
PTO speeds and will work with 540, 750
and 1000 rpm.

 Conical Hopper Shape for
Reduced Power Consumption
Right Hopper Design for Correct
Structure of the Feed
The edged hopper design and turbo
augers are perfectly matched to
each other to ensure a high quality,
homogenous mix and smooth discharge,
even when working with un-chopped feed
materials. The conically formed hopper
shape enhances feed flow back from
top to hopper bottom, providing faster
processing of long fibre feed. In addition
the required revolutions per mix are
reduced, meaning higher productivity and
reduced power consumption through less
mixing time and fuel consumption.
12
The edged shape optimizes feed flow and
material at the edges of the hopper is
guided back onto the augers, preventing
continuous stirring. This provides a more
efficient mixing process, reducing mixing
timing and by that protecting the effective
fibre in the feed.
The FlowPlus hopper ring ensures
continuous feed material movement
without blockages by moving the material
from top to hopper bottom. This gives a
faster mixing of especially baled material
and long fibre feed, and a more even
process avoiding peaks of torque.
Wedge line Hopper Shape
The WedgeLine hopper shape with an
edged middle section is designed for
optimized material flow, providing faster
dissolving and mixing by continuously
guiding the material towards the augers.
Also, it is possible to add smaller
components into the mix at any time.
For longer durability Siloking Kverneland
has developed the Silonox covering for
the mixing augers and hopper walls.
This hard surface treatment, made of
wear resistant and corrosion-resistant
high quality steel, is added to the middle
section of the hopper, the area which is
subjected to the heaviest wear.
 The Advantages:
• The conical hopper shape optimizes feed
flow and reduces power consumption.
• Edged shape prevents ‘over processing’
by guiding the material back to the
augers.
• FlowPlus hopper ring continually moves
material from top to hopper bottom,
The edged hopper design prevents
continuous stirring by guiding the material
back to the augers.
The edged middle section is designed
for optimized material flow, guiding the
material towards the augers.
This significantly increases lifetime of the
machine.
The hopper bottom plate is 100% even,
so that the auger can run perfectly over
the plate. This allows fast incorporation
of smaller components. Concentrates can
be filled in at any time, with no specific
loading order required.
Flat hopper bottom plate ensures that no
material, not even concentrates are left
behind during the mixing process.
providing faster mixing of especially
round bales and long fibre feed.
• Silonox, wear and corrosion resistant
high quality steel is added to the middle
section of the hopper.
• Flat bottom plate ensures that small
components like concentrates can be
added at any time during mixing.
The conical hopper shape optimized feed
flow back from top to hopper bottom,
providing faster processing and reduced
power consumption.

low power requirements.

The Turbo Auger

The auger height is adjusted to the hopper height providing a perfect auger-hopper ratio for a
precise and quick mix. The large dimensioned Turbo augers with slow revolutions provide a
gentle mix with very low power requirements.

Equipped with an additional wing at 180° to the auger leading edge, the turbo auger ensures
a rapid and thorough mixing action. In addition feed discharge is regular and even.

The Turbo augers are fitted with hard-edged scraping strips (St 70) and multiple adjustable
hard-coated XS knives, ensuring ultimate durability of this critical component.

The scraping strip of the auger has been given a flat design to reduce power requirement.
The flat strip is able to lift concentrates from the bottom of the machine making it possible to
add concentrates from the very beginning of the mixing process.

The Turbo auger can be fitted with a magnet to remove foreign matters during the mixing.
This is the ideal solution for problematic feed with risk of iron particles being added into the
feed.

 Feed Out – Every Barn is
Different

The Siloking Kverneland vertical mixer

range can be adapted to suit a wide
variety of barns or feed troughs. From
feeding onto the floor or over high feed
barriers, there is a discharge solution
available. Alternatively the cross-conveyor
offers a professional solution to transport
the material from front or rear doors to
either side of the machine.

Discharge Door Design

The inner door surface is alligned with the
inner hopper wall, providing a smooth and
even surface during the mixing with no
edges. This rreduces power consumption
and gives a more efficient mixing process.
The discharge doors have sharp edges at
the bottom to provide complete closing.
The edges are made from Silonox,
ensuring that they are long lasting and will
stay sharp.

18
The Advantages:
• Simple discharge doors – single or
multiple per machine.
• Cross conveyor for discharge to either
side of the machine onto the floor.
• Alternatively the cross conveyor can
be fitted with a sideways moveable
conveyor.
Wide Cross Conveyor
The new cross-conveyor offers a professional solution to transport the material from front
or rear doors to either side of the machine. Thanks to the 800mm wide conveyor and
650mm high door opening, discharge is quick and safe. The new open design provides
the operator with a good overview of the discharge.
The Conveyor Belt
The new cross conveyor belt, made of
robust PVC material, is fitted with split
rubber slats of differing heights to ensure
trouble free transport of the feed material.
The rubber slats closest to the discharge
door comes with a lower height compared
to the slats positioned away from the
door. This split provides a more even
distribution and load of material across
the entire working width of the conveyor
belt, reducing blockages and providing
a more uniform feed-out in front of the
cows. Also it ensures an even split of load
on the conveyor belt, reducing wear and
increasing reliability.
• Discharge elevator for direct feed into
troughs.
• New belt design for more even
distribution of feed material.
• New smooth door design closing up with
inner hopper wall.
• Electronic door indicator monitored via
the Wireless Control System.
The new cross conveyor belt is driven by
two motors and the belt tension is kept at
the same level no matter in which direction
the belt is running.
Sideways Movable Conveyor
The cross conveyor can be fitted with
an optional hydraulic displacement. This
enables the conveyor to move up to 350mm
each way for more even discharge into
difficult wide troughs. It also enables the
mixer to travel away from discharged mix.
Discharge Elevator
Discharge elevator is available for
direct distribution into feed troughs. It is
available in two different sizes, 1000mm
and 1500mm, and can be set for different
working heights. It can be fitted onto
the cross conveyor or directly onto the
discharge door.
The rubber slats closest to the discharge
door comes with a lower height compared
to the slats positioned away from the door.
19
 TwinLift for Narrow Buildings

Suitable for Narrow Passages and

High Troughs
The TwinLift conveyor is a versatile
solution designed for varying farm
conditions. It is controlled by hydraulics
and has the advantage of discharging on
either side of the machine in normal or
high position.

By simply switching a lever on the

conveyor, the user can decide if he is to
discharge onto the floor or into a trough
– this offers a more flexible discharge
solution compared to normal folding
conveyor belt combinations.

“TwinLift” in the central starting position is

no wider than the machine – this makes it
ideal for barns with narrow passages, but
if necessary it can be pushed out 40cm to
either side to reach the desired discharge
point or to allow the feeding of large
amounts of material, without the risk of
the wheels running over it.

When elevated to the highest position

on either side, the ends of the conveyor
increase the discharge height by 50cm
to provide a discharge height of approx.
1.20m, thus removing the need for
additional folding conveyors.

Straw Blower for Bedding
Purposes

The proven 1.55 m diameter flywheel comes

from the wheel known Kverneland Taarup
Bale Choppers and is capable of blowing
straw up to 18 m or more.

Accurate and
Even Bedding
The straw blower option offers a precise
discharge of the straw inside the animal
buildings. The 1.55 m diameter front
mounted flywheel comes from the long-
established Kverneland Taarup 850
series Bale Choppers – well known for their
robust design and quality distribution of
straw.

This system is mechanically driven from

the tractor and located on the front of the
machine, without the need for feed drums or
conveyors.

Drive to the flywheel is independent of the

drive to the augers, supporting each phase
of the process – loading, cutting, mixing and
discharge.

Straw is distributed by the side discharge

chute, offering straw blow up to 18/20 m or
more (depending on straw type and quality).
A door position indicator allows the operator
to control the flow of material to the flywheel.

All functions are hydraulically controlled Foreign objects are separated from
