Jaylor’s new 6000 Series retains the unique square cut auger design.
Building on its reputation for rugged vertical mixer design, Jaylor’s new 6000 Series focuses on improved feed flow, faster mixing, more efficient performance with lower horsepower requirements, alongside enhanced operator visibility, and practical durability upgrades.
It retains the unique square cut auger design that is still the key driving force behind performance and central to the company’s 30-year success story.
A patented upper face prevents bridging of round bales, allowing rapid cutting apart and an increased mixing action.
The unique slide plate gently gathers feed into the auger, lifting it vertically to decrease friction, and in turn lowering horsepower requirements by 20%, compared to machines with traditional round section augers.
New innovations for the new 6000 Series include a new conveyor design featuring galvanised steel and rust resistant materials, delivering smoother and faster unloading.
Hydraulic lift cylinders mounted above the new conveyor offer a wider working range, while also providing greater clearance under the conveyor during discharge, particularly into troughs.
In addition, self-adjusting sprung shields along the conveyor edges eliminate feed loss and promote even unloading, while cleaning wipers fitted to the chain ensure all feed is cleared away from the conveyor system.
Improved visibility allows the operator to see directly into the new Seal Lock Door system, redesigned to provide a tighter, more consistent seal, reducing feed loss and improving control during unloading. By maintaining a cleaner discharge area and more predictable feed flow, operators can deliver rations with greater accuracy whilst minimising waste.
Reduced friction, imparted by the square cut auger design, also creates low sidewall pressure, reducing wear on the mixer walls.
There is a viewing window in the side of the tub, in the case of the new 6000 Series, increased by 50.0%, providing operators a better view of the mix from the ground level, without having to climb a ladder.
For operations over varied ground conditions, the new 6000 series is also available as an all-terrain variant, featuring large flotation tires, complemented by a new axle configuration offering additional ground clearance and improved stability.
