Standard Features & Options

GATHERING CHAIN & SPROCKETS

The gathering chain and sprockets include closed-die forged hardened cutters and claws to deliver maximum performance consistently.

GEARBOX

Drive wheel cast-iron gearbox provides strength and rigidity to withstand high torque forces. Quality construction throughout provides years of service.

BLOWER

The high-capacity blower’s high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel impeller blades with welded studs are adjustable to allow close tolerance for maximum blower efficiency and longer service life. Choose flat blades or cupped blades. The Patz design loads the blower from the side to provide superior blowing performance. Full circle blower band provides improved blower efficiency. Optional stainless steel blower is also available.

POWER CUTTER

The power cutter’s unique design with its spinning action follows the exact curvature of the silo wall. Spring tension keeps the spinning, self-sharpening knives in position resulting in a “clean shaven” silo wall.

CONTROL PANEL WITH PUSHBUTTON STATION

For operator safety and convenience, a control panel with ammeter and remote pushbutton station are required equipment.
