Feed System parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.
#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Feed Hopper 1× Glass-fronted inlet box that holds a small grain head above the feed roll.
2 Feed Roll 1× Fluted roll that draws grain down from the hopper at a metered rate.
3 Delivery Roll 1× Second roll that spreads the stream into an even curtain across the grinding roll width.
4 Feed Gate 1× Pivoting plate that sets the slot opening above the feed roll to control flow rate.
5 Feed Sensor Flap 3 parts 1× Spring-loaded flap behind the hopper glass that senses whether grain is present.
6 Feed Drive Motor 5 parts 1× Small geared motor that turns the feed and delivery rolls independently of the main drive.
7 Feed Deflector Vane 1× Adjustable vane that distributes grain so both ends of the rolls see equal load.
8 Ball Bearing 4× Deep-groove radial ball bearing.
