NORFOLK-BASED manufacturer GT Bunning and Sons has been individually balancing every auger and beater it has fitted to its twin vertical auger ( TVA ) and horizontal beater and spinning disc ( HBD ) muck spreaders , since it started building them in 1986 .

Dynamically balancing muck spreader augers and beaters increases the longevity of machinery and maintains smooth operation , and the importance of the process can ’ t be underestimated .

The dynamic balancing process is similar to balancing a hedge cutter rotor . The auger is placed in a cradle with floor mounted sensor pads detecting any imbalance in the auger or beater profile when it is spinning .

The balancing machine then provides a readout detailing which end of the auger or beater is out of balance and where in the circumference additional weight is required . Depending on how much weight is needed , a series of different options can then be welded to correct the imbalance and increase the lifespan of the machine .
