The MechFiber350+ sets new standards in ration mixing, combining KEENAN’s unique MechFiber technology with high capacity. It will feed approximately 100 cows in a single load. This mixer is ideal for medium to large scale farms. With its higher auger, position feeding into high troughs or barriers is done with ease. It comes with or without Bale Blending technology. There are a variety of optional extras that can also be chosen.

Superior MechFiber mixing

This latest generation KEENAN mixing system uses six angled paddles rotating at just 7rpm. A new knife design and greater clearance at the ends of the paddle arms allows material to move freely, to further improve mixing.

Lower power, torque and fuel requirements

The MechFiber350+ can be easily towed with a 90 HP tractor. To drive the mixer, when loaded, requires approximately half this power delivering substantial savings in overall fuel consumption (and often size of tractor) compared with other mixers. The machine has a simple two-chain drive system.

KEENAN’s simple two-chain drive system has an unbeatable track record of reliability. A primary drive chain and three sprockets transmit power to the auger and idler. A second sprocket powers the much larger paddle sprocket.

Automatic oiler

An automatic oiling system can be fitted and is operated by the hydraulic rams opening and closing the guillotine door. This delivers ‘pulses’ of oil to the drive chains, lubricating them to the optimum levels for safety and improved chain life.

Other key benefits include:

• Fresh new look with specially moulded black pin seal matt finish front covers.
• Rear ladder made of sleek tubular steel – user-friendly, collapsible and less prone to damage.
• Mixing chamber containing 6-paddle reel with new style paddle castellations ­– improved mix quality, less horsepower required, less machine wear.
• The paddles gently lift & tumble the added materials across the blades ensuring feedstuff is cut to an optimal length without destroying the quality of the fibre. This is to create a mix with the correct chop length & structure for optimum rumen health – improved herd health and productivity.
• Option to add lights over feed-out door and increase the length of the feed-out door – easy to see when ambient lighting is low and quicker feed-out.
• 4th Generation KEENAN Controller, feed management App and InTouch platform for full oversight of the mixing process and all farm data – see ingredient list and order, monitor costs, refusals etc.
• Option of key telematics on Controller – oil sensors, chain tension sensor etc. – helps to maintain machine in good working order
