MMI’s New Delivery Box Handles Distiller Grains
MMI announces a new line of delivery boxes designed to handle high concentrations of distiller grains. The new design addresses the stock industry’s on-going problems feeding dense, sticky distiller grains to their feeder cattle. While cost effective and high in nutrients, the grains cause problems by plugging equipment, leading to lost labor time and uneven feedout.
The new delivery box features high torque hydraulic motors that provide the power to move heavy distiller grains. The high-end hydraulic system includes sensors and feedback loops - - ensuring an even, consistent feedout in spite of changes in engine RPM. Additionally, this sensing system also detects pressure on the beaters and regulates the floor chain to reduce the load.
Plugged conveyors were a big problem at a high capacity feedlot in Nebraska. Clogged units had to be removed from service and dug out by hand. This customer had used the old style Mohrlang delivery box and agreed to test the new MMI delivery box. Following field testing, they purchased the unit. The unit is currently out performing two other competitor models and saving the feedlot significant labor, fuel and downtime. The longtime operator told MMI, “This is the best delivery box I’ve ever run.”
