20160016132 | VERTICAL SCREW FEED MIXER WITH GUIDE PADDLE - A feed mixer with a vertical screw and one or more paddles that enhance mixing efficiency. Each of the paddles has a guide portion that extends below the flighting on the screw, and an attachment portion by which the paddle is connected to the screw. During rotation of the screw, the paddle both draws new material inward onto the flighting and helps retain material on the flighting. | 01-21-2016 |
20150353289 | AUTOMATIC SCRAPER CHAIN TENSIONING APPARATUS - A chain tensioning apparatus for tensioning a chain of an agricultural barn cleaner. The barn cleaner chain is moved by a motor-driven drive sprocket mounted in a drive tower after contacting a first idler rotatably mounted to the drive tower. A second idler is mounted to the frame and positioned further away from the drive tower than the first idler such that, as the chain moves toward the drive tower, the chain contacts the second idler before contacting the first idler. A chain tensioning idler contacts the chain between the first idler and the second idler and is capable of movement in a direction transverse to the movement of the chain. A biasing member biases the chain tensioning idler toward a take-up position and away from a chain-taut position. | 12-10-2015 |
20140131497 | ATTACHMENT FOR ROTARY MATERIAL PROCESSING MACHINES - A material processing machine with a rotating element positioned within a hopper for receiving materials to be processed, the rotating element including an outer edge to which one or more attachments may be mounted. The attachments include a forward edge extending generally forward with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotating element and extending outward from the outer edge of the rotating element. A rotating element for use in a material processing machine has either attachments mounted to an outer edge or integrally formed extensions along an outer edge. The extensions or attachments including a forward edge that extends generally forward with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotating element. | 05-15-2014 |
20140036619 | MULTI-ANGLE SCREW TOP - A material processing machine having a rotating element formed of a core rotatable about a generally vertical axis, and a top cap having a pair of facets which abut together at a join line. The join line extends downward from perpendicular to the generally vertical axis at an angle. The core has a continuous outer wall that is substantially vertical, and the facets extend inward from the outer wall to the join line at a non-perpendicular angle. Each of the facets extends inward from the outer wall to the join line at an angle that is different from angle of the other facet. | 02-06-2014 |
20130284841 | ATTACHMENT FOR ROTARY MATERIAL PROCESSING MACHINES - A material processing machine with a rotating element positioned within a hopper for receiving materials to be processed, the rotating element including an outer edge to which one or more attachments may be mounted. The attachments include a forward edge extending generally forward with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotating element and extending outward from the outer edge of the rotating element. A rotating element for use in a material processing machine has either attachments mounted to an outer edge or integrally formed extensions along an outer edge. The extensions or attachments including a forward edge that extends generally forward with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotating element. | 10-31-2013 |
