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 .
