VERTI-MIX - EXPERT

IMS MIXING AUGER

Variability and strength for any purpose. Due to the patented knife adjustment system and the updated IMS auger design, the IMS mixing auger can be perfectly adapted to your specific conditions of use. The robust and low-maintenance angular gearbox ensures long service life even under challenging conditions.

All Strautmann mixer wagons now come fitted with an IMS auger as standard. Its stepped design enables a good mix to be achieved more quickly.

This reduces the mixing time of each load, which due to the number of mixes each day, creates a saving on labour, wear and fuel over time.

The perfect harmonisation of mixing auger geometry and the distance to the container wall forms the basis for quick and homogeneous mixing.

Robust bearings and gearbox

The heart of the IMS mixing auger is the very heavy duty and durable gearbox. Stability and long maintenance intervals are achieved by means of a large-sized pair of tapered roller bearings, double sealing and a large grease chamber.

Weigh cells

Strautmann diet feeders are supplied with a minimum of three weigh cells.

As capacity increases so does the number of weigh cells, up to an impressive eight on a triple auger machine. More connection points between the chassis and tub means superb weight stability and accuracy.

SPEC-UP YOUR MACHINE

INNODUR stainless steel wear strips

Longer term, machinery repair and replacement costs can be reduced by requesting the INNODUR stainless steel wear strip to be fitted to the leading edge of the auger. This is a replaceable part, further extending machine lifetime.

Bale cutting knife

Special knife options help you to adapt your IMS mixing auger to your requirements.

Feed funnel

A mineral feed funnel can be mounted at the mixing container on request. This makes it easier to fill in smaller quantities of fodder such as e.g. mineral feed or lime.

Root crop knife

An optional row of cutting knives are available to assist with chopping root crops such as potato and beet. 

Rear-view camera, monitor and headlights

Available with optional lights and optional rear view camera with monitor.

Extensions

The patented container design at the top container edge provides the Strautmann mixing container with additional rigidity. It serves as a basis for variable container attachments helping you to adapt the capacity of the mixing container to your operational requirements. Two optional extensions with different heights enable you to flexibly adapt your Verti-Mix - Expert diet feeder to your needs (180mm and 360mm).

Protective cover

More safety for your animals!

Protective cover between mixing auger and coaxial gearbox

• Made of robust plastic
• Recommended for compact mixtures (compact TMR) or for addition of larger quantities of water
• Reliable protection against fodder deposits between mixing auger and gearbox

Magnetic system

Silage and any kind of purchased fodder might contain metallic foreign objects which might harm your dairy cattle. Strautmann magnetic system (optional) mounted directly at the mixing auger protects your valuable livestock against internal injuries, thus ensuring herd health.

The magnets are mounted such that they have direct and immediate contact with the mixed fodder and thus offer very effective filtering out of metallic foreign objects without them being carried away again from the magnet by the following fodder.

Enclosed hay ring

Verti-Mix Expert diet feeders come as standard with an enclosed hay ring.

 20mm Heavy-duty mixing auger

15mm mixing augers are standard on all Verti-Mix Expert diet feeders, with a wear material of 10mm. Strautmann also offer a 20mm heavy-duty mixing auger with a wear material of 15mm, for even higher demands.

DISCHARGE OPTIONS

Side Discharge

In the case of side discharge, the asymmetrical position of the discharge openings ensures optimum fodder discharge which results in a loose, homogeneous swathe. The fodder is discharged at the optimum position at the fodder mixing wagon, relative to the flow of material in the container. No travelling over the fodder.

Rear Discharge

Discharge in narrow dead-end feeding passages. For comfortable feeding even in narrow dead-end feeding passages, side doors behind the wheels are being used. The fodder is loosely discharged on one or both sides behind the wheels.

Side Chutes

Fodder-protecting discharge via adjustable side chutes. At the side discharge devices, adjustable chutes support the fodder discharge. The wheels do not roll over the discharged fodder. The side chutes can be equipped with an optional hydraulic actuating mechanism.

 Side Discharge Extension

If the machine is equipped with a side discharge door, an additional conveyor can be mounted in front of the discharge door to fill higher troughs.

Front Cross Conveyor

Variable conveyor speeds achieved by means of different motors or direct adjustability enable the fodder discharge width to be adapted as far as right up to directly in front of the feed fence. A unique lattice bar roller as return roller for the crossover conveyor prevents the fodder from piling up between the roller and the conveyor.

Rear Cross Conveyor

Variable conveyor speeds achieved by means of different motors or direct adjustability enable the fodder discharge width to be adapted as far as right up to directly in front of the feed fence. A unique lattice bar roller as return roller for the crossover conveyor prevents the fodder from piling up between the roller and the conveyor.

'V' Conveyor

Equipped with 2 standard hydraulic motors, the V-conveyor is often optioned when there is a requirement to both discharge at a distance to the machine or into
elevated troughs. 

The V-conveyor offers discharge to the side (25 cm on both sides) and discharge at height (0-55 cm).

Cross Conveyor Extension

For higher troughs, a 1m long conveyor extension adjustable in height can be mounted at the side of the crossover conveyor.
