Feed Mixer Maintenance: 6 Tips for a Longer Service Life
Regular maintenance keeps your feed mixer performing well and prevents unexpected breakdowns. Here is what to check.
Check the Frame and Paint Coating
The de-mountable steel frame and acrylic paint coating resist corrosion well, but a regular visual check catches small scratches or impact damage before rust can spread.
Inspect the Auger and Blades Regularly
Worn auger flights or cutting blades can reduce mix homogeneity. Check for wear after a heavy-use season to catch performance loss early.
Electrical and Connection Points
On stationary models, check motor connection cables; on TMR trailed models, check the PTO connection point and its safety guard regularly — important for both safety and smooth operation.
Build a Cleaning Habit
Clearing leftover feed from the tank after each use maintains hygiene and helps the next ration mix accurately.
When to Call for Technical Support
If you notice unusual noise, vibration, or a drop in mix quality, contact Burkon Makine's Support & Spare Parts line before the issue grows.
