wheel axle

The mixer feeder chassis consists of the subassemblies indicated in figure (3.1). Lower frame

(1) is a structure welded from steel sections. The main load-bearing elements are two

longitudinal members. The sockets for mounting the scales load cells (4) and the tank are

welded in the central part of the frame. Drawbar hitching eye, platform (3) and mixer feeder

support (5) are located in the front section of the frame. The platform is equipped with holders

for fixing the hydraulic conduit plugs when the mixer feeder is not used. In the rear part of the

lower frame, there is a wheel axle (6) made from a square bar ended with pins on which

wheel hubs are mounted on cone bearings.

The design of the mixer feeder tank is shown in figure (3.2). The tank is mounted on the

chassis frame using tensometric sensors (scales load cells) – compare figure (3.1).
