VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL AUGER CIRCULATING SETS OPERATING PORTABLE FEED GRINDER MIXERS

摘要

-21-ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREDisclosed is a vehicle carrying a grinder-mixerproviding a low bin profile and improved mixing throughthe use of complementing horizontal and vertical circula-tory paths of the ground feed, which is produced by apair of cooperating parallel auger conveyors extendingin a horizontal plane along the bottom of the mixingbin in side by side relationship and rotating so as tomove the feed in opposite directions, each feeding theother, in cooperation with a pair of vertical cooperatingaugers spaced axially of the horizontal augers and movingand mixing the ground feed along a circulatory path invertical planes, the said horizontal and vertical circu-latory paths intersecting to thereby greatly increase themixing action. One of the horizontal augers is connectedto a discharging system and is reversible to cooperatewith the latter to empty the bin.
