The Batch Box

What It Is

The Batch Box is a hydraulically raised and lowered side-dump box used to temporarily batch feed ingredients. It reduces the time spent running a loader between ingredients and the waiting mixing truck or wagon.

How it Works

Load.

While a mixing truck or wagon is out distributing feed, a loader adds feed ingredients to The Batch Box.

Dump.

When the truck returns to the commodity area, batched feed ingredients are staged and ready to be dumped into the mixing truck or wagon.

Save

Since you don’t have to wait for a loader to fetch each ingredient, refilling the mixing truck/wagon could take as little as 60 seconds.

Features

Energy-Savings

Lower your electricity bill

The Batch Box requires significantly less horsepower than stationary mixers. Plus, with a variable frequency drive (VFD) motor controller, you’ll only pay for power when The Batch Box is raised up or down.

Reduce costly engine hours for feeding trucks.

With your improved efficiency, you can reduce the amount of time your feed trucks are idling and save on fuel.

Reduce your carbon footprint—affordably.

By using less diesel and electricity, you can be both environmentally friendly and pocket-book friendly.

Performance

Dump ingredients more easily.

Our non-stick, superslide plastic poly liner makes it easy to dump the most sticky ingredients.

Program your ideal settings.

The Batch Box is remote controlled with customizable pre-programmable settings to dump at exactly the rate you need.

Better Rations

Get accurately proportioned rations.

Load cells are compatible with standard feeding software.

Prevent over-drying and inconsistency.

Control exactly when ingredients get dumped into the mixing truck or wagon for perfectly processed rations and prevent ingredients such as flake corn from over drying that can happen with stationary mixers

Longevity

Increase uptime.

Compared to a stationary mixer, The Batch Box has fewer working parts, leading to less downtime.

Reduce wear-and-tear on your trucks.

When your trucks run less, you’ll have to replace them less often.

Use The Batch Box for years.

Since it was created for feeders, by feeders, The Batch Box was built for long-term durability. Many operations have used their Batch Box daily for over 15 years!
