AG Duo Operation Manual

4.3 ADJUSTMENTS
The discharge rate is governed by:
1. The size of the metering shutter opening.
2. The speed of the auger and agitator.
3. The speed of the conveyor.
The spread pattern is governed by:
1. The forward speed of the AG Duo
2. The speed of the conveyor.
3. The amount of product falling onto the conveyor belt (metering shutter opening and
auger & agitator speed).
4.3.1 METERING SHUTTER
The metering shutter should be adjusted to provide a suitable opening at the bottom of the
hopper to obtain the desired bedding flow rate. The size of the opening will determine the
rate of flow that the bedding product flows onto the conveyor belt and will depend on the
bedding product and your needs. The ideal opening will be found through trials.
Moving the adjusting lever to the right will reduce the opening size, thus reducing product
flow.
Moving the adjusting lever to the left will increase the opening size, thus increasing product
flow.
