摘要:
A control system for mixing materials for livestock feed including a containerthatreceives the materials, agitators that mix the materials in the container, adriveline that drivesthe agitators at an output speed with an output torque, a power source thatprovides an inputspeed at an input torque, a continuously variable transmission that connectsthe driveline andthe power source and having a hydrostatic loop to provide a speed ratiobetween the input speedand the output speed, a plurality of sensors positioned between the powersource and theagitators that provides mixing signals commensurate to mixing parameters, andan electroniccontrol unit configured to receive the mixing signals, extract mixingparameter values from themixing signals, and actuate the continuously variable transmission and adjustthe speed ratiobased on the mixing parameter values to enhance efficiency of the mixing ofthe materials.
