In addition to our well-known range of paddle feeders we also offer vertical auger machines which are specially designed for Irish and UK conditions. Most vertical auger machines available on the Irish and British markets are either Italian made or copies. While these machines work well when maize, hay or straw are the principal forage’s used, their performance under Irish and UK conditions is poor.
Hi-Spec Engineering’s range of vertical auger machines are the most suitable for Irish and UK farmers and will out-perform all others Our vertical feeders have the following advantages:
Faster and better mixing because of our large pitch auger.
Faster cutting of bales because of our knife arrangement.
Lower horse power requirements because of our auger design.
Complete and fast mixing of the load because of the unique auger arrangement.
Complete clearing of the auger when emptying because of the auger diameter.
Our unique patented elevator that moves from the working position at the side of the machine to the transport position at the front of the machine. This prevents elevator damage when in transit and also reduces the overall width of the machine.
Two double acting hydraulic valves on the tractor carry out all hydraulic operations – no extra valves required even with the elevator fitted.
A special heavy-duty planetary gearbox to which the auger is directly mounted.
An easy accessible gearbox oil reservoir fitted as standard.
Knives mounted on 15-mm brackets for added strength – not directly to the auger.
High quality self-sharpening knives.
Curved in top section of body to prevent feed spillage when mixing while giving added strength to the body.
One feedout door fitted on right hand side with chain adjustable chute height.
20mm material with reinforcement plating used in the floor and 8mm material in the body.
The following machines are available:
Single Auger: 10M³, 12M³, 14M³, 16M³
Please note... The vertical auger machine has approximately 20% greater capacity than a similar size paddle machine.
