18 Instructions Manual
The three main Wagon systems are:
MIXTURE: The rotor paddles perform a
rotation of the materials inside the mixing
chamber, providing a uniform mixture.
WEIGHING: The scale enables to dose the
quantity of each material introduced in the
mixing chamber, in order to prepare a totally
balanced animal feed.
UNLOADING: The mixture is deposited in
an endless screw, through which it is unloaded.
The products that will be mixed are deposited
inside the mixing chamber, and the rotor,
activated by the tractor PTO, rotates constantly,
mixing all the products in a homogenous way.
To nalize the procedure, open the compartment
and the mixture is drained to an endless screw,
activated by a hydraulic engine. The screw then
transports the mixture to the tube, through
which the mixture is disposed of directly in the
trough.
.
DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONING
The Mixer Wagon is a device developed to mix
and unload automatically salt, concentrates
and other products used in the production of
animal feed.
Its project was aimed to provide a balanced
mixture, with agility and efciency.
UTILIZATION
The unloading system by endless screw used
in this device is not recommended for silage.
IMPORTANT!

Instructions Manual 19
The Wagon should be coupled to a tractor
with adequate weight, in order to guarantee
its dragging and stop in complete safety. It is
recommended the use of tractors from 50 to
60hp in the PTO.
In order to use the machine in a safe way, it is
necessary that only one operator perform the
maneuvers.
CHOOSING THE TRACTOR
During the operation, the revolution in the PTO
must not go over 540RPM, so that we avoid the
spillage of the mixture.
WORK ROTATION
The tractor speed must be compatible with
the discharge ow. In order to deposit more
mixture in the trough, you should reduce the
tractor speed and vice-versa. However, always
keep an adequate revolution in the PTO.
In order to guarantee constant unloading, it is
ideal that the tractor works with a ow of 40
liters/minute in the pump.
IMPORTANT!
Check if your tractor has any stickers that
indicate the revolution on your tachometer
that corresponds to 540 RPM in the PTO. In
case there are any enquiries, check your tractor
manual.
NOTE!

20 Instructions Manual
1. Approach the tractor to the Wagon carefully,
aligning the shaft bar with the machine
hitch.
2. Put the hitch pin (B) and lock it with the
counter-pin (C)
3. After coupling, retract the jack (D), turn it
and put it in the rest position.
TRACTOR COUPLING
Choose a at and levelled surface, since it makes
the procedure easier and safer.
The involuntary movement of the
machine during coupling might cause
an accident!
If it is impossible to perform the
coupling on a flat, leveled surface,
you should add shims to the wheels in
order to make the machine stationary.
After coupling, make sure that the
header is securely locked to the tractor’s
shaft bar. Always lock it with a counter-
pin (C). The accidental uncoupling of
the Wagon, when it is being towed,
might result in a serious accident.
