'''Slurry Mixers''' are commonly used for manure management operation and farms. | |||
==Typical Application and Working Principles== | |||
These mixers are used for aggressive mixing action for the contractor or large modern day farmer. With a mixing depth of up to 4.5 metres controlled by a hydraulic ram. It has fully galvanized machine with a 600mm propeller. A shear bar is attached to the machine in order to cut all fibres as the machine is in operation. Bearing arrangement at the propeller end consists of five steals and three bearings set in a precision machined housing. | |||
The drive shaft consists of two 55mm solid drive shafts and one PTO joint with three 2" bearings, accurately positioned on the machine. To allow smooth and efficient operation, three grease points are positioned strategically on the machine to allow easy accessible greasing. Tractor to machine PTO shaft is fitted with a shear bolt to prevent damage to the machine or tractor. 120hp is required to drive this machine in 540rpm. | |||
==Common Features== | |||
*Main chassis made of box section to give the machine extra strength | |||
*Fluted rubber bearing lubricated by slurry to give minimum maintenance | |||
*Three bladed propeller gives high displacement with the minimum input of power | |||
*Shaft fitted with shear bolt to prevent damage to the mixer or tractor | |||
*Hydraulic ram controls depth adjustment | |||
