To prevent start-up problems in larger mixer feeders, Trioliet developed a patented 2 and 3-speed powershift, allowing the speed to be increased automatically in a number of stages, even on-the-go. This prevents overloading the drive line of the mixer feeder and the tractor PTO and has several advantages for the farmer. “An hour’s time saved per day and a 25% saving on fuel; the investment is already paying for itself”, according to Hans Luijerink, owner of 3200 rose veal calves.
The Trioliet Shifttronic automatic reduction gearbox makes it possible to shift automatically (on-the-go) to a lower auger speed during loading and an increased auger speed during discharge.
Based on the specific weight of the ration, the shifting moment can be programmed. Use of a Shiftronic reduction gearbox has been shown to significantly reduce the stress, strain and damage to both the tractor and mixer drive lines. Besides, a considerable amount of fuel is saved, because the tractor runs continuously at optimum torque.
Always the optimum auger speed
The Shifttronic always starts in first (low)gear, which requires just one third of the torque as direct drive. By programming when the Shifttronic changes auger speeds, you ensure that you are always mixing and dispensing at the optimum auger speed for the tractor. When discharging, the auger speed is increased as the load is reduced to ensure the mixer discharges evenly, quickly and fully. The Trioliet Shifttronic is a proven investment. Durability in operation, a time saving of 10% and a saving of more than 30% on fuel, are not uncommon.
