KEENAN MechFiber270+
KEENAN MechFiber270+
The MechFiber270+ six paddle diet feeder is ideal for the medium sized operator. It can feed over 854mm (33.5″) feed barriers and can be easily adapted for rear feed out in narrower feed passages. Designed with the animals’ specific nutritional needs in mind, the MechFiber 270+’s gentle paddle mixing action produces a consistent ration while maintaining the all-important MechFiber structure.
Machines can be built to individual order and dimensions customised for a variety of farm set-ups. A rear feed-out can be fitted to the MechFiber270+.
KEY FEATURES:
- Angled Paddles: The angled castellated paddles sweep along the mixing chamber floor and through the belly knives at just 7-8 rpm lifting the material to the top before it falls, creating a gentle, non-destructive tumbling action. This guarantees thorough end-to-end mixing of all ingredients, with the correct ration structure, promoting high intakes and performance.
- Ease of Maintenance: The MechFiber270+ is specifically designed to be easily maintained on-farm. This ensures that the machine can work hard day in, day out. There are just two chains in the entire machine and both have load capacities far higher than technically required. This simple, functional drive train design means there is no complicated gearbox to go wrong. Bearings, six in all, are mounted externally so they can easily be serviced.
- Variable Feed Control and Feed-Out Height: For feed-out, the variable feed control (VFC) or guillotine door opens downward. The paddles push the mixed ration onto the full-length auger resulting in consistent and even feed-out. The VFC door allows you to adjust the rate of discharge. It can be closed during feed-out allowing for the addition of extra feed ingredients to simplify feeding.
- Automatic Oiler: An automatic oiling system can be fitted and is operated by the hydraulic rams opening and closing the guillotine door. This delivers ‘pulses’ of oil to the drive chains, lubricating them to the optimum levels for safety and improved chain life.
- Fresh new look with specially moulded black pin seal matt finish front covers.
- Rear ladder made of sleek tubular steel – user-friendly, collapsible and less prone to damage.
- Mixing chamber containing 6-paddle reel with new style paddle castellations – improved mix quality, less horsepower required, less machine wear.
- The paddles gently lift & tumble the added materials across the blades ensuring feedstuff is cut to an optimal length without destroying the quality of the fibre. This is to create a mix with the correct chop length & structure for optimum rumen health – improved herd health and productivity.
- Option to add lights over feed-out door and increase the length of the feed-out door – easy to see when ambient lighting is low and quicker feed-out.
- 4th Generation KEENAN Controller, feed management App and InTouch platform for full oversight of the mixing process and all farm data – see ingredient list and order, monitor costs, refusals etc.
- Option of key telematics on Controller – oil sensors, chain tension sensor etc. – helps to maintain machine in good working order.

KEENAN offer a combination of technology and advisory nutrition support to drive feed efficiency and utilisation on farm. According to the IFAC survey only 32% of farms are currently using technology to increase farm efficiencies with 52% mentioning cost as a barrier. With all investment there needs to be a return of investment and first-time users of KEENAN technology increased their feed efficiency by 11% through increased productivity and reduced feed costs, resulting in an extra €244 per cow per year – €24,400 for a herd of 100 cows.
