Vertical Auger Feeders

In addition to our well-known range of paddle feeders we are now offering vertical auger machines specially designed for Irish and UK conditions. Most vertical auger machines available on the Irish and British markets are either Italian made or copies, while these machines work well when maize, hay or straw are the principal forage's used, their performance under Irish and UK conditions is poor to say the least.

Hi-Spec have spent the last three years developing and testing a range of vertical auger machine suitable for Irish and UK conditions and are now in a position to offer a machine to Irish and UK farmers that will out-perform all others.

Our vertical feeders have the following advantages:

  • Faster and better mixing because of our large pitch auger.

  • Faster Cutting of bales because of our extra long knives.

  • Lower H.P. requirements because of running the auger at a lower R.P.M.

  • Complete clearing of the auger when emptying because of the small diameter.

  • Much improved emptying because of our patented shelf at the door.

  • Automatic operation of the counter knives as standard.

  • Two discharge doors with hydraulic adjustable chute as standard.

  • Our unique patented elevator that moves from the working position at the side of the machine to the transport position at the front of the machine. This prevents elevator damage when in transit and also reduces the overall width of the machine.

  • Two double acting hydraulic valves on the tractor carry out all hydraulic operations - no external valves required.

  • A special heavy-duty planetary gearbox to which the auger is directly mounted.

  • An easy accessible gearbox oil reservoir fitted as standard.

  • Knives mounted on 15-mm brackets for added strength - not directly to the auger.

  • High quality self-sharpening knives fitted on 22-mm holders.

  • Curved in top section of body to prevent feed spillage while mixing and gives added strength to body.

  • 22-mm material used in the floor and 8mm material in the body.

The following machines are available in 2003:
Single Auger: 10M³, 12M³, 14M³, 16M³
Twin Auger: 18M³, 22M³, 26M³, 30M³

Please note...
The vertical auger machine has from 30% to 50% greater capacity than a similar size paddle machine.
