Deano MFmad Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Looks like its for propcorn or molasses my spelling of these could be seriously wrong. No funny jokes of popcorn either its an additive. Will look good as a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 i think this will be an interesting build it looks quite complex as well i will keep my eye on this it will be a good project to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yeah like Deano said, molasses probably. When I worked at a mixed farm we had a chap come round with a Buschoff I think it was, mounted on an MAN lorry. http://www.buschhoff.de/en/milling_and_mixing/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi The tank cube is for acid, Propcorn, Added to preserve the grain, what it actually does is kill the vitimin E which is the part that starts the decay of the grain. but as we dry all our grain the acid is not required for our crushing duties. He can't mix different ingredients as such no, just crush, as the machine stands she weighs 9.5 tonne, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here they have a couple of tractor mounted units but also a couple on lorries. Proprionic acid is as ricky said used to kill off the vitimin e it is used on wetter barley or slightly under ripe. Farmer near turriff cut 100 acres of barley to treat with proprionic acid and stores it in clamps to feed to the cattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
