Thanks for the time and info Doc. You nailed it on the chain drive. The reason for the limits is while the blower is being used there's left over feed in the feed pans that we don't want to blow out because we've already paid for it. It gives us a slight advantage on our feed conversion at the beginning of every flock because it's maybe 100 lbs of feed that won't be charged to the current flock. So I need to know the blower will stop in time to not blow the feed out
keep blower stationary,and make a movable pressure chute to direct the flow.-what about a windshield wiper motor? fairly torquey and already has oscillating motion designed right in..control the motor speed with a speed control or heater motor blower resistor..no brainer
That's quite an idea. I'll look into this to. Thanks
