CUTTER-MIXER-FEEDER

摘要

A cutter-mixer-feeder (10) adapted for producing, transporting and discharging fodder comprising the following elements: a mobile platform (12), a chopper assembly (30) for harvesting at least one raw material and production of fodder, a container for receiving at least one of the raw material and fodder, at least one auger (24) for chopping and mixing the fodder, at least one conveyer belt (23) for discharging the fodder to livestock, a drive unit adapted for providing power for at least one of the above; and a control system comprising a controller connected to the drive unit and at least one sensor attached to at least one of the above elements to receive data therefrom. Based on the data, the control system is adapted to dynamically match power distribution of the drive unit to any one of the above elements relative to the desired load exerted thereon. Thus, none of these elements exceeds its maximum power consumption as pre-defined for each operation.
