Liquid Supplement Applicator Mounts On Bale Shredder

Liquid Supplement Applicator Mounts On Bale Shredder BALE HANDLING 26-5-13 Adding liquid supplements to round bales as they're being shredded is easy with this new applicator that's designed to mount on any bale shredder. The Molmixer sprays molasses liquid supplement - with such products as Rumensin, protein, vitamins and minerals, dewormers, etc. - into shredded material as it's ejected. It holds 500 lbs. of product (a 900-lb. capacity tank is also available). The liquid is discharged from a fan-type nozzle at a 90-degree angle directly into the shredded forage. The unit can also be adapted to other machines such as feed wagons and mixer mills. "It produces a well-mixed, complete feed ration for your cowherd or feedlot in one easy step," says Gerald Michaud, Ag Enterprises, St. Paul, Alberta. "With the severe drought over much of North America this summer, poor feed quality is a problem for many farmers. The Molmixer converts this poor quality roughage into a complete feed ration." The unit is equipped with a hydraulic pump that operates off the shredder hydraulics. A remote control switch inside the tractor cab is used to start and stop the pump. The machine applies from 4 to 20 gal. per minute. The application rate depends on the volume of material and how much time is required to shred it. Application rate is controlled by adjusting a dial mounted on the applicator. "We're developing brackets for different types and brands of bale processors and for different applications. We can custom make the Molmixer to your needs," says Michaud. Sells for less than $3,000 (Canadian) plus S&H.
