KUHN RC 200 Series Reel Commercial mixers provide superior durability and performance with innovative options that separate them from the competition. For dairy and beef producers mixing rations with high percentages of roughages or distillers grains, this design gives them the ability to efficiently handle a wide range of materials.

The Helix reel, with its open-center design, offers fast, consistent mixing and superior load leveling with any ration. The enhanced reel design optimizes the mixing of wet by-product rations, but through extensive testing has been proven to provide quality performance in all rations. The heavy-duty drive option offers extended life, in even the most extreme use cycles, and provides the ability to mix the heaviest feedstuffs. These features, combined with the versatility and low horsepower requirement that are the hallmark of the reel and auger design, put these RC models at the head of their class! From the popular, multi-purpose trailer models, to the fast, convenient transport offered by truck mounted machines, to stationary models that are ideal for central mixing, there is a mixer to meet the needs of any operation. These machines also offer a low standard loading height for easy loading with skid steers.

The Reel Advantage

Superior Feed Movement

The reel thoroughly mixes rations gently without causing excessive damage to the feed ingredients, preserving precious nutritional value for your herd. The large reel gently lifts material up into the side augers for excellent side-to-side movement. The upper auger moves material rearward, while the lower auger moves material forward for end-to-end mixing. This helps feed continually charge the door during discharge.

Low Fuel Consumption

Quality performance, with the lowest possible input costs is the goal of every operation. The fast, gentle mixing of KUHN Knight reel mixers helps maximize efficiency and minimize expense. The reel and auger design eliminates much of the force and pressure seen with other mixer types, resulting in low horsepower requirements and, correspondingly, less fuel consumption for economical operation.

Consistent Mixing and Discharge

KUHN Knight reel mixers provide a consistent mix, even with small batches, for a balanced ration from beginning to end. Their quick, even discharge with a more complete cleanout helps save time and maximizes efficiency.

Simple Feeding

With a high discharge point, these mixers allow for the use of a simple slide tray in most feeding situations. The long tray makes it easy to feed deeper into most bunks while preventing feed loss from the wind. This dependable, low-cost option also results in less maintenance.

Rugged, Dependable Design with Unique HelixReel

The Unique Helix Reel

The Helix reel has a robust build and has been thoroughly tested to withstand the most challenging conditions. The design of the reel crossbars evens the pressure across the length of the reel for smoother operation. It also engages with the feed more smoothly.

The open-center design eliminates obstructions in the reel and provides superior feed movement and unparalleled mixing action. The benefits are unmistakable, with faster, more consistent mixing, improved load leveling, optimized mixer space utilization and fewer dead spots for the ultimate in ration quality.

A mix bar runs diagonally across the center of the reel to help ensure consistent feed movement throughout the entire mixing chamber. The reel crossbars keep feed moving efficiently around the outside of the chamber. The secondary mechanical mixing action from the mix bar provides a fast and thorough mix even in wet, heavy rations with large amounts of distillers grains.

Heavy-Duty Drive

The reliable heavy-duty roller chain drive runs in oil and has spring tensioned poly idlers for long life. A single-handled latch provides easy access to the oil bath and secure closure to protect the drive system. An improved lip seal keeps oil in, and dirt and debris out to help minimize wear on drive components. Splined drive shafts allow a strong, reliable torque transfer and provide easier sprocket alignment and maintenance.

The heavy-duty drive, standard on RC 270 and RC 295 models, provides heavier chains throughout and a larger diameter countershaft and bearings for added strength and extended life in the toughest mixing conditions and heaviest use cycles. Optional on RC 250 and 260 models.

Rugged Undercarriage

Straight-single and walking-tandem bogie axle options are available for trailer models, providing flexibility for varied terrain. Both feature heavy-duty spindles and hubs for maximum durability and long life.

Reinforced Discharge Door and Linkage

The discharge door and linkage have been reinforced to provide reliable service and long life. The slide tray linkage has also been relocated and improved. This change provides increased adjustability to adapt to different feeding situations and eliminates the possibility of the tray extending over center when opened.

Tailor Your Machine

Auger Options to Meet Your Ration’s Needs

The grain-auger option provides gentle handling of more delicate feeds like flaked corn to maintain ration quality and prevent fines.

The roughage-auger option features notched, sectional flighting with welded-in, self-sharpening, hardened knives for better hay handling.

With the optional Roughage Maxx® system, scalloped knives are added to the lower augers to maximize hay processing. . The knives provide a more consistent particle length and more even blending. The result is a more uniform and palatable ration with reduced sorting for improved feed efficiency.

Multiple Discharge Options

To best suit your feeding needs, you can choose from a slide tray, chain and slat conveyor, 3-auger discharge or a 4-auger discharge to be equipped on your RC 200 Series mixer.

Slide Tray

The high discharge point of the Reel mixers allows use of the simple, dependable, low-cost slide tray in most applications. It has simple hydraulic controls and the long discharge tray reaches deeper into bunks to prevent feed loss from the wind. Magnets are standard on slide tray.

Chain and Slat Conveyor

Rugged chain and slat conveyor options provide the ultimate in durability and long life. Heavy-duty components ensure reliable service and multiple conveyor length options offer unmatched flexibility to match different feeding situations. Available on all models except RC 295.

3-Auger Discharge

The 3-auger discharge allows adjustment for feeding into higher bunks. It has a simple, hydraulic drive that provides smooth, even discharge. Long lasting, poly chute liners help prevent rust and limit wear. The 3-auger discharge comes standard with fixed tip-off and built-in magnets.

4-Auger Discharge

Center-rotating augers bring the feed to the center of the discharge to increase overall capacity and provide a smooth, even discharge for all ration types. The 4-auger discharge comes standard with power tip-off and built-in magnets. RC 250, 260 & 270 models only.

The discharge augers are simple to remove for easy service. Long-lasting, replaceable polyethylene chute liners prevent rust and limit wear.

As with the main auger drive, the discharge auger shafts are splined for a more positive power transfer and longer service life. The simplified drive design, featuring only two chains and a remote grease bank, results in in easy service and maintenance.

Trailer, Truck & Stationary Models

To suit your operation’s needs, KUHN Knight RC 200 Series mixers are available in trailer, truck-mounted or stationary configurations.

Trailer models are the most popular configuration as they are the most economical and versatile. Being detachable allows the tractor to be used elsewhere on the farm when not in use for feeding.

Truck-mounted models are a suitable option for those that have to feed cows at several different locations, with large travel distances. This option allows a feeder to quickly get from the mixing location to the feed bunk and back again.

Whether mixing wood chips or a ration for your livestock, KUHN Knight RC 200 Series stationary mixers are ideal for maximizing feeding efficiency and mixer throughput on any operation. Stationary mixers are perfect for producers with centralized feed storage and multiple mixers running throughout the day. By incorporating centralized mixing, one loader operator is often able to keep multiple mixers constantly running, greatly increasing mixing capacity and reducing labor. Also, with the addition of delivery boxes, the mixers do not experience the downtime from driving location to location, and in turn do not receive the additional stress which can be seen from constant travel.

Equipment

Standard or Lowered Right Side

The option of a standard or lowered right side allows customers the flexibility to choose the setup that best matches the needs of their operation.

Partial or Full Stainless Steel Liner

The partial liner (shown in silver) covers the most critical wear areas in the mixer and provides added protection and longer life. The full liner completely covers all of the high wear areas, from front to back, for unmatched dependability and long service life. Both provide added protection when mixing more abrasive or corrosive materials, resulting in longer life of the unit shell.

Scale Systems

Different scale brands, models and options are available for all types of operations, ranging from the very basic to high-end feed-tracking programs that use a remote scoreboard display. Optional remote indicators are available for placement that will allow easier viewing.
