Buschhoff to present new hammer mill
German company Buschhoff will present hammer mill BHOS DUO, which combines the throughput performance of mills without blower and the flexibility provided only by two separate mills, at the Agritechnica 2009.
The working principle of mills is based on a screen which determines the structure of the milled materials. For another structure, the screen must either be changed manually or a second mill must be purchased to produce the alternative structure.
The newly developed BHOS DUO is engineered to provide two different screens and bi-directional rotation. Thus it is able to produce two completely different feed structures without the need for a manual screen change.
For optimum usage of both screen areas within the scope of this innovative approach, more fundamental technical improvements are implemented in comparison with conventional mill design.
The BHOS DUO is initially offered with 11, 15, and 18,5 kW motors.
The presence of BHOS DUO in a milling and mixing plant helps determine the composition of feed from different feed components automatically and computer controlled. The new concept of the mill design also adds the capability to preselect the feed structure and thereby to process the feed exactly as required and just in time.
The operator can customise the feed according to the needs of the different animal groups both optimal and completely automatic.
