Diet feeding technology specialists Keenan, have launched their new Mechfiber+ range of machines.
Keenan have made some changes to there already proven Mechfiber range with the aim of improved mix quality, which in turn improves feed efficiency.
Paddle design is first to be looked at, with a re-engineered paddle castellation leading to a rounded top section and increased rake angle to allow for greater material movement in the chamber.
This results in less material residing on the paddle which improves the tumbling action leading to a better mix, whilst cutting down on friction and reducing wear inside the chamber. The manufacturer also claims that this leads to a reduced horsepower requirement.
Other changes include a new wider feed out door to increase the speed of feed-out, which also benefits from new lighting to assist operators in low light, these are housed in protective pods to prevent damage.
Aesthetical changes include new optional mudguards, new moulded black pin seal matt finish front covers, and a more user-friendly black steel tubular rear ladder.
The Mechfiber+ also benefits from the addition of the new Fourth Generation Keenan controller, feed management app and InTouch controller.
These allow full oversight and control of real time feeding data at the push of a button, whilst giving the operator key machine operation information such as oil levels, temperature sensors, chain tension status and feed out door indicator.
