4 OPERATION 4.1 To the New Operator or Owner The Renn Auxiliary Mill is designed to receive dry grain from an auger, process it, and deposit it via the discharge auger. Be familiar with the machine before starting. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven-...
4 OPERATION Setting up the Roller Mill 4.4.1 Roll Setting Figure 4.1 Figure 4.2 Loosen the wing nuts holding down the top hopper (Figure 4.2) and tip it over center, rotating on the hinge pin until it hits the stoppers. If using flat rolls to roll dry grain, set the rolls a very small distance apart.
4 OPERATION 4.4.2 Roll Gap Adjustment The cam control ( Figure 4.4) serves as a mechanism to make roll gap adjustments accurately and quickly using a 3/4” wrench or socket. The cam positional indicator is set at the factory to the “1”...
4 OPERATION 4.4.3 Feed Gate Control Set the friction knob (Figure 4.5) so that it supports the weight of the feed gate and yet allows the gate to be opened and closed by hand. Note that the setting of the feed gate helps to spread the feeding of grain evenly across the face of the roll.
4 OPERATION 4.4.5 Roll Drive Belt Tension To increase belt tension, loosen the jam nut and turn tensioning bolt until approximately 15lbs of force at the center of the longest belt span causes a 3/8” deflection. Reset the jam nut to lock the adjustment bolt in place.
4 OPERATION 4.4.6 Spring Pressure To increase spring pressure, loosen the jam nut and turn the spring push bolt inward a 1/2 turn at a time. Setting the pressure higher than necessary is hard on the bearings and the roll surfaces when hard particles like rocks go through the rolls.
4 OPERATION 4.4.8 Transfer Auger Set Up 1. Hitch Height Level the mill with the tractor for best results. 2. Set up & Using the Transfer Auger A) Open the over-center latch on the transfer auger support holding the transfer auger to the mill trailer (Figure 4.12).
4 OPERATION 4.5 Operating the Auxiliary Roller Mill 1. Make sure to read and understand all of the safety items in Section 2. 2. Ensure that the feed gate is closed (Figure 4.5) before starting the mill. Even a few grains will keep the rolls from turning.
