A new model has been brought out to supplement KUHN’s wide range of PROFILE Compact mixer-feeders.
Following the launch of 14, 16, 18 and 20 m3 versions with transversal belt, in 2013, the KUHN group presents the 15 m3 version in 2015.
This compact mixer with 2 vertical augers gives farmers with narrow building the possibility to work with mixed rations.
The distinctive features of the PROFILE Compact 80 range are its integrated chassis geometry and its tyre position under the tank: the reliability and robustness of the machine have been tried and tested.
PROFILE Compact 80, machines to suit all buildings:
-
14, 15, 16, 18 and 20 m3 volumes available for herds of 65 to 150 dairy cows.
-
Compact: overall machine height from 2.55 m for the 14 m3 model and an outer width at the wheels of 1.85 m. These dimensions are possible due to the position of the wheels under the body.
-
All forage types cut and mixed (silage, hay, straw, wrapped grass…) in any bale format: round, square… For fibrous rations, the 15, 16, 18 and 20 m3 models are equipped with an anti-overflow rim as standard.
PROFILE Compact 80, high quality mixed rations and economical on fuel:
-
The design of the mixing auger with a double pitch on the final quarter-coil produces better forage expansion, thus, faster mixing.
-
The whole range is equipped with an electronic weighing system, KUHN KDW340. This programmable version makes it possible to produce rations per animal or per herd (memory is available for 200 ration components i.e. 25 different rations with 8 ingredients each).
-
Lower power requirement: considerable power requirement reduction thanks to the « narrow » body and small diameter auger.
PROFILE Compact 80, quality delivery:
-
Very wide discharge doors (1200 mm) mean that the ration can be delivered rapidly, irrespective of fiber content.
-
A wide conveyor delivers the ration to the right and left.
-
For farms with troughs, the PROFILE COMPACT series 80 range can be equipped with an 800 mm tilting belt at the end of the transversal conveyor, or a rear discharge door, as an option.
