6.0 STARTING THE MIXER Check that there are no foreign bodies in the mixer before start-up. Check that the direction of rotation is correct. The mixer auger shall take the material towards the outlet. If an emptying auger is removing the mixed material from the mixer, you adapt the capacity adjusting the outlet throttle of the mixer.
7.2 Operation In order to obtain the best utilization of the mixer, the following should be followed: - Various components to be mixed can be added manually via the hopper or automatic with an auger, fan, pump or the like. - If the mixer is equipped with emptying auger, so that the outlet throttle is always totally or partly open, a small portion will be left in the outlet and this portion will not be mixed with the rest.
- After the mixing the mixer is emptied via outlet, emptying auger or fan depending on the construction of the plant. During emptying the mixer must be in operation in order to empty the mixer completely. - NB: The emptying capacity must be adapted to the capacity of the transport auger by adjusting the throttle in the mixer outlet.
Depending of the humidity of the grain, grinding method and quantity of liquids added the mixer auger and inner surfaces may be covered by dirt. This may build fertile soil for poisonous fungus and germs, so that the mixer must be regularly cleaned inside.
