Introducing the Penta 5530 TMR Mixer: Elevating Your Feed Mixing Experience
Hurricane Auger - Shaping Your Mix with Precision
The foremost challenge faced by TMR mixers lies in their capacity to efficiently process forages enriched with various supplements, including salts and fine minerals. This undertaking can be both time-consuming and financially taxing. Enter our patented Hurricane Auger, meticulously engineered to enhance your mixing experience by facilitating faster circulation of forages within the blend, resulting in expedited processing and mixing times.
Penta's Hurricane Augers come equipped with patented cutouts that allow materials to seamlessly descend through the auger. This free-fall motion complements the regular ingredient rotation within the mixing tub. The fusion of these mixing actions consistently proves its effectiveness in yielding a more uniform mixture.
Hurricane Auger - The Pinnacle of Strength and Durability
A single glance at our Hurricane augers reveals their inherent strength and power. Durability stands as a cornerstone of our auger design. The initial cutting stages encounter high-intensity forces as metal blades experience substantial pressure during the inception of the turning motion, propelling feed ingredients upward. Our augers are meticulously crafted, with 3/4" steel expertly cold-pressed to form the flighting and a robust 3/8" thick tube meticulously welded into place. Developed over years of rigorous testing and design, this auger unquestionably represents our most rugged and reliable iteration to date.
The angle and diameter of the flighting are meticulously calibrated to work in tandem with the tub, ensuring optimal mixing and processing of your feed. The pyramid shape of the Hurricane Auger alleviates pressure on the system's moving components, distributing forces across the auger body and extending blade longevity. Our unique design guarantees maximum blade contact with fibrous raw materials, expediting the cutting process to achieve completeness rapidly. The high-wear stainless steel lead edge on the sweep leaves virtually no gaps at the floor, leading to a significant reduction in required horsepower and ensuring exceptional clean-out. The bolt-on stainless steel plow blade not only prevents material accumulation on the sides but also promotes additional mixing action.
Conveyor Systems - Tailored to Your Operations
Optional conveyors are meticulously configured to match the unique needs of your operations, available in either a Flip-up or Dual configuration. Engineered for longevity and reliability, each system is equipped with the industry's most robust cast chain, the C188 chain, driven by a formidable North American-made hydraulic motor.
The Flip-up conveyors are adaptable for both left and right-hand delivery, facilitating easy access for feeding bunks. Our standard conveyor features stainless steel pans and rails, with a plethora of available options for tailoring these conveyor systems to accommodate various bulk and feed alley arrangements.
Knife Options - Versatility at Its Best
Penta augers are furnished with three distinct styles of deep serrated, heat-treated, tungsten carbide knives. These diverse knife styles and mounting options afford you the flexibility to process any type of feed, whether it's hay, haylage, silage, straw, by-products, corn, or soybean stalks. Penta mixers stand as the prime choice for all operations, ensuring consistent results regardless of your specific nutritional needs.
Planetary Drives - Unmatched Versatility and Reliability
Our drives are engineered to process an extensive array of feed materials, from hay to silage, corn, and soybean stalks. The power from your tractor's PTO is efficiently transmitted to the drives through a two-speed gearbox, guaranteeing optimal mixing and a more thorough clean-out. Single auger mixers employ the corner planetary gearbox to drive the auger, supported by our standard 3-year warranty. Twin and triple auger mixers feature heavy-duty planetary gearboxes designed and constructed to our precise specifications, backed by a 5-year warranty.
Our North American-engineered gearbox is compatible with most mixer models, offering flexibility to operate at either 1000 RPM or 540 RPM, with the primary aim of reducing heat buildup during the mixing process. The two-part design facilitates heat dissipation in the lower box before transferring it to the planetary gearbox.
Driveline - Efficient and Reliable Power Transfer
Our PTO shafts serve as the most efficient and reliable means of power transmission from your tractor to the mixer, employing splined connections. Standard shear bolts provide straightforward equipment protection, while optional cam-style torque-limited clutches offer peace of mind and automatic resetting, all without the need for wear parts.
Oil Reservoirs - Enhanced Visibility and Performance
Our high-visibility oil reservoirs are strategically positioned in close proximity to the gearboxes for optimal performance, ease of use, and simplified maintenance. These top-quality reservoirs remain crystal clear, enabling straightforward visual checks on oil levels. In multi-auger mixers, the reservoirs are ingeniously nestled between the augers, providing even greater visibility and protection. We exclusively employ full synthetic oil, ensuring stability throughout temperature fluctuations.
Overpass - Beyond Observation
Our viewing platform not only serves as a vantage point for monitoring your mixing progress but offers much more. Accessible from both sides of the mixer, it simplifies movement and provides a safe passage from one side of the machine to the other without the need to circumnavigate. Handholds and mounts for oil reservoirs (on single auger models) are seamlessly integrated into the design.
Robust Frame - Industrial-Grade Fortitude
Our frames are meticulously crafted from 1/2" and 3/4" North American steel, distinguishing them from hollow tube designs. This approach not only imparts extreme ruggedness to our platform but also reduces the frame profile, eliminates condensation buildup, and provides greater flexibility for incorporating additional components.
Designed for Optimal Productivity
Our straight-walled tub is thoughtfully designed to prevent feed compaction and reduce over-processing, offering more space for material aeration. The tub floor, subjected to high abrasion and heavy impacts, is constructed from a solid 3/4" 44w high-wear, acid-resistant steel. The tub's angled curve and baffles are meticulously engineered to complement our Hurricane Augers, ensuring an impeccable mix and effortless clean-out. The tub ends are roll-formed and robot-welded to achieve a smooth, consistent curve, resisting material buildup and establishing an incredibly robust bond on both sides. For mixers operating in moist feed conditions, stainless steel liners can be installed, extending the mixer's lifespan by an average of 10 years. These liners are positioned 30" high, providing maximum protection.
Suspension - Durability on Any Terrain
Our models with a capacity of 600 cu ft and higher come equipped with an off-road suspension, minimizing wear and tear on both the tractor and mixer. We exclusively employ high-quality, non-imported bearings in our axles, with various configurations available to incorporate brakes and steering options.
Massive Doors - Streamlined Unloading and Thorough Clean-Out
For efficient unloading and comprehensive clean-out, our front and rear material doors boast substantial widths, measuring 44"-48" across all models.
