Rotating Drum - USC LPX Series Operator's Manual

The rotating drum comes in options of 6, 8, and 10 feet and accepts treated seed
through the opening on the hopper end. As seed passes through the length of the
drum it is tumbled, producing accurate and uniform seed coating. The seed then
exits the seed treater out the discharge end of the machine.
The time it takes for seed to move through the drum both during and at the end of
the run can be changed by lowering or raising the pins on the legs of the discharge
end of the treater. When the pins are in the same hole on all of the treater legs, the
treater has a natural downward tilt towards the discharge end of the treater.
Lowering the pins on the discharge end's legs will give the treater more tilt during
operation which will allow seed to travel through the drum at a faster rate. Vice
verse, raising those pins will cause seed to stay in the drum longer.
On the 6 and 8 foot drum options the LPX manual treater will also come standard
with telescoping fork lift pockets. These pockets can be slid out from underneath

ROTATING DRUM

Never allow exposure of persons or clothing to the drive shaft,
idler wheels, or the drum during operation. Always have the
safety shields in place during operation.
It is not recommended to lower the discharge end's pins more
than one hole setting different from the inlet end's pins. If this is
done, a loss in seed coverage and chemical coating may occur.
