The Redrock vertical mixer feeder range can mix anything from large round or square bales of silage, straw, hay to precision cut silage, maize meal etc. Serrated knives are used to efficiently chop fibrous foodstuffs to the length required for effective mixing and healthy digestion. They are assisted by two‘ counter knives’, which restrict material as it is driven past them by the auger. These come as standard.

The auger incorporates a

carefully positioned sweeper arm, which has been painstakingly designed by Redrock machinery to give a perfect blend of all selected ingredients – time after time. This ensures an even, fluffy and appetising discharge, which livestock will find palatable and easy to eat.

The two speed drive line planetary system is used to reduce horsepower requirements, thereby lowering fuel costs and freeing up larger tractors for other uses on the farm.

There are 9 knives fitted to each auger. Specially treated serrated knives are used to efficiently chop fibrous materials to the lengths required for effective mixing and digestion. In addition, the knives are designed to sharpen as they wear.

The main features of the Redrock VM Twin Auger feeders are the large mixing volumes, which

can be mixed at one time, large discharge doors, which allow consistent discharges and more efficient chopping between augers. Twin auger machines are available on request.

All forages, grains, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals are thoroughly mixed. As a result, livestock are not able to hunt out individual ingredients and must eat the very important – but less palatable – roughage, as well as the rest of the ration.

In keeping with the ethos of Redrock, all the vertical auger machines are engineered to the highest design specification and strength, so as to ensure the maximum working life for the end user.

Specific features on Redrock

vertical mixer feeders include: programmable weighting; two speed gear box; two counter knives; PTO shear bolt protection; hydraulic brakes; LED lights plus a viewing ladder / platform.

Twin auger mixer feeders are available with an option of either tandem rigid axles or tandem c / w rear steering axle. The steering axle follows the direction determined by the tractor. The oscillation range is 15 ° on each side of the front wheel. When towed on the road or when the mixer feeder is reversed a hydraulic locking device aligns the running gear with the front axle, making it safe to use.
