POWER CHUTE ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL)
Toavoidpersonalinjury:Thehopperoormaybeslipperyandtheaugercanspinunexpectedlywhenstepped

whenworkinsidetheboxisrequired.
MIXER OPERATION
AlwaysrefertoEquipmentSafetyGuidelines&BeforeOperationsectionsofthismanualbeforeoperatingthismixer.
TheTurbo-MaxMixerwasdesignedforblendingdairyandbeefrations.Mostcommonlyusedingredients,including
limitedamountsofdrystemhay,canbemixedquicklyanduniformlyinthismixer.Ifyouhavequestionsregarding
yourfeedrationorhaveotherapplications,pleasecontactSiouxAutomationCenter,Inc.
TheTurbo-MaxMixermixingperformancecanvarygreatlyaccordingtothedifferencesinmaterials,loadingse-
quence,mixingspeed,andunloadingmethods.
•
•
GENERAL
Whenthemixerisinoperationithasmanymovingpartswhichcouldcausesevereinjuryordeathtopersons
comingincontactwiththeseparts.Tohelpavoidseriousaccidents,pleasereadandunderstandthismanual.

SAFETY

Page 11
Do not load hay without otherdrycommoditiesinthemixerrsttoactasacarrieror“lubricant”.
Do not overload hay content,SiouxAutomationCenterInc.recommendsupto15%-20%ofhaybyweight
intheload.Exceedingthispercentagecandecreasemixingperformanceorcouldpotentiallydamagemixerand
causeprematurewearondrivelinecomponents.
•
•
LIMITATIONS
Do not use tough hay (20%-60%moisture)Alwaysusedcured,dryhay.Wethay,foreignobjectsoroverload-
ingmaycausebindinganddamagetothemixer.
Keep in mind the overall size of the mixertoallowclearancethroughdoorways.
•
•
WARNINGS
Themixercanmixanaverageloadin3to5minutes.Duetothisshortmixingtime,thereisnormallynoreason
torunthemixerduringloadingexcepttolevelthematerialsortobreakuphay.
•
MIXING TIME
Whendecidingwhenandhowfasttooperatethemixer,factorssuchasingredientsbeingused,thethorough-
nessofthemix,andthetimeavailabletomixmustbeconsidered.Normalmixingspeedis3/4tofullPTO
speed.
DonotexceedratedPTOspeed.WhenthemixerisoperatedfasterthanratedPTOspeedthestrainonthedrive
trainandmixerisgreatlyincreased.
•
•
MIXING SPEED
• ThefollowingfeedmaterialsrequiresomepreparationorprocessingtobemixedintheMaxi-Mixer.
• ALL LONG AND UNCURED GRASSES
• ROUND BALES, LARGE SQUARE BALES
• SMALL SQUARE BALES
MATERIALS REQUIRING PREPERATION
Always use cured dry hay. Toughhaycancausewrapping,bindinganddamagetomixerandcanadversely
effectthemixingperformance.Thefollowingaresomeexamplesthatcontributetotoughhayconditions:High
moisturecontent,Highgrasscontent,Highdensitybales,Outdoorstorage,Useofhaypreservatives,andEx-
cessive stem length.
•
HAY QUALITY
ManydifferentkindsofmaterialscanbemixedwiththeTurbo-MaxMixer,buteachtypehasitsownuniquechar-
acteristics.
DonotexceedratedPTOspeed.WhenthemixerisoperatedfasterthanratedPTOspeedthestrainonthedrive
trainandmixerisgreatlyincreased.
FORAGES- Choppedhay,cornsilage,andnelychoppedcropresiduecanbemixedinthemixer.Wetand
heavyforagesaddedinlargevolumesmayrequiremorepowertomix.
GRAINS- Ground,rolled,aked,andwholecerealgrains,minerals,andconcentrates,areallveryeasilymixed,
andcanimprovethemixingperformanceoftheothermaterials.
LIQUIDS- Supplementsandliquidfatcanbeblendedinthemixer.Someoperatorspreferaddingliquidsinto
theemptymixer,andothersaddliquidsontopofgrainsorroughage.Stickyliquidssuchasmolassestendto
increasethepowerrequirements.

MIXER OPERATION

Page 12
• Prior to loading, check mixer for foreign objects and be sure door is fully closed.
1. Load Commodities
Addingingredientslikecorn,soybeanmeal,cottonseed,etc.willactasacarrieror“lubricant”ifhayis
includedintheration.
Iftherearefewcommoditiesintheration,substitutingcornsilageorhaylageispreferred.
Fillmixerbetween1/3-1/2fullbyvolumeincommoditiesandforagebeforeaddingthehaytotheration.
Thiswillallowenoughroomforthehaytoexpandandbringfeedlevelupsothetopaugercanassistin
processing.
2. Load Hay
Loadprocessedhay.Withthemixerrunningat3/4tofullPTOspeed,proceedloadingthesmallsquare
balepiecesortubgroundhayintothemixer.Donotexceed15%-20%ofhaybyweight.
3. Finish Loading Commodities
Finishloadinganyotheringredientstocompletetherationinorderofleastbindingingredienttomost
binding.Example:drycommoditiesrst,cornsilagesecond,haylagelast.
4. Finish Loading Wet Commodities
Anyotherwetfeedsmaybeaddedatthistime.
5. Add Liquid Ingredients
 • Ifrationincludeswater,additlast.Addingwateratthebeginningwillcausethehaytobind.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERLOAD MIXER! Overloadingcausesexcessivehorsepowerrequirements,increasedstrain
ondrivelineandpoormixerperformance.

LOADING AND MIXING
MIXER OPERATION
Donotoverloadmixer!Overloadingcausesexcessivehorsepowerrequirements,increasedstrainonmixerdrive-
lineandpoormixerperformance.
ThedesignoftheTurbo-MaxMixerrequiresthattherebeadequatespacetoallowthefeedtomoveinandaround
thereelchamber.Ifthereeliscompletelycovered,itcannotefcientlymixthematerials.Thereelcrosstubes
shouldalwaysbevisibleatthetopoftheirrotationtoallowthismixingspace.

Aftertherationhasbeenthoroughlymixed,openthemixerdoortobeginunloading.Ifthemixerisequipped
withapowerchute,thechutemustberunningbeforethemixerdoorcanbeopened.Thecombinationofthe
dischargedooropeningandthemixerspeeddeterminestheowoffeedfromthemixer.Thedoormustbe
openedfarenoughtopreventseparationofmaterials,optionaldoorowcontrolplatesareavailabletohelppre-
ventseparation.Tostoptheowoffeed,closethedoor,(turnoffthepowerchute)thenshutoffthemixer.
TheTurbo-MaxMixercanbeequippedwitheitherapowerchute,oraslidetraytoassistinthedeliveryof
feed.Thechuteandtrayheightsareadjustedwithhydrauliccylinders,butthechainstopsprovidedonpower
