Feed Mixer

Feed Mixer is a very useful agricultural machine that alleviates the workload of farmers and producers dealing with fattening and dairy farming. Feed Mixer is designed to distribute various animal feeds in a homogeneous mixture with its robust, strong and durable structures and easy use. Feed Mixer can be produced in different capacities for all small, medium and large enterprises.

A feed mixer is an agricultural machine that takes the workload of farmers to mix normal feed and different feeds, chemically produced feeds or drugs to be given to the animal evenly. Farmers needed modern agricultural tools to feed their animals more easily and more efficiently. In addition, the feed mixing machine ensures that the straw and grass bales that come as a package are shredded and mixed with corn silage, pulp and bran feeds evenly.

The feed mixer machine has two models as suspended and trailed type. There is a large hopper in the feed mixer. Thanks to the magnets in this chamber, the metal parts mixed into the feed are separated. Thanks to the knives inside, it is ensured that the large pieces are made in the mixture while they are being crushed. It is possible to choose the dimensions of the feed mixer according to demand and need. As the number of animals increases, models with higher volume should be preferred. Since the dry or moist feed will increase the dimensions, the machine size should be selected considering this.

After the dry roughage is thrown into the hopper, the feed mixer allows clover and similar feeds to pass through the blades. Moist and hard-to-break feeds should be given priority when throwing them into the machine. In this way, better separation of parts can be achieved. After the dry roughage is shredded, the synthetic feeds are put into the machine and the pulp and grain feeds to be added can be added. In order for the animal to digest the feed more easily, it is necessary to be controlled in the mixing and disintegration times. The last moist and wet feeds are thrown into the feed mixing machine and are made ready for the animals to consume by giving the feed feature. These processes may take up to 10 minutes and vary ± 5 minutes depending on the farmer’s request.

Especially for those who deal with livestock activities frequently during the day, the use of feed machine, its model and comfort are very important issues. Since feed machines are one of the indispensable tools for livestock activities, users are very careful about their selection. Accordingly, in the previous years, it is seen that long and space-saving machines with uniform heavy machines were used in the use of feed machines. However, over time, depending on the development of technology, feed machine models also gain diversity. In this respect, it provides convenience to feed machine users. Feed machines are produced by using various materials for users from different segments in accordance with the budget and needs of these users. Accordingly, feed machine buyers also pay attention to the material used in the production of the product according to the area where they will use this product. With its quality features, the feed mixer provides both ergonomic comfort and space for its users in terms of taking up less space. These machines must be stored in suitable environments and conditions. In general, the prices of feed machines, which can be found to appeal to every budget, vary according to these materials used.

The forage mixer is used to break up packed straw, alfalfa and hay bales. It provides homogeneous mixing of corn silage, beet crushed, pulp, bran and various feed materials.

• There is an increase in total milk yield.
• It reduces feed cost.
• Provides improvement in milk fat ratio.
• Digestive and metabolic disorders seen in animals are reduced.
• Labor cost is reduced.
• Waste of feed is reduced.

What Should Be Considered When Buying a Feed Mixer?

1) Homogeneous feed mixture;

The primary purpose of feed mixers is to ensure that you get high efficiency from your animals by feeding them correctly and regularly. It is very important for your machine to prepare homogeneous feed so that you can feed your animals a standard feed daily.

2) The machine’s longevity and high performance at the same level;

When choosing your machine, it is very important to choose a feed mixer that you can get high performance for many years. The decrease in performance after a certain period of time may affect your feed quality as well as cause problems such as extra service fees or the need to renew your machine.

3) No damage to the bait while mixing;

It is very important that your feed mixer does not crush the feed during mixing. Crushing the feed causes the nutritional value of the feed to be lost.

4) Service and spare parts support;

In order not to be victimized while feeding your animals, it will be to your advantage to choose a company that can give you the necessary support as soon as possible in case of any problem in your machine.

5) Fuel economy;

Your machine should work without forcing the tractor. For this, the auger, body design and blade quality are very important. When you use machines with unsuitable auger, body design and blade quality, this will return you high fuel consumption.

6) Minimal feed left on the bottom of the machine after dispensing;

Ration in nutrition is very important. The minimum level of feed left on the bottom of your machine will affect your ration at a minimum level the next time you prepare the ration.

What are the Feed Mixer Types?

There are two types of feed mixer machines as horizontal and vertical.

1. Horizontal Feed Mixers

There is a side conveyor extension option where high and long feeder ratios can be discharged. In these machines, where a digital weighing system is usually integrated, information about the weight and type of feed is provided to the user. The machine contains a magnet that can remove unwanted materials such as wire mixed into the bait. In addition to these, hydraulic control levers that facilitate the control of the device, unloading cover and belt operation control provide a user-friendly experience at every stage of the process. Star and ax knives on the helix increase the mincing performance and also help mixing to a great extent.

2. Vertical Feed Mixers

It provides long-lasting use with wear-resistant steel materials. The volume of the machines can be increased in direct proportion to the number of animals with the riser piece that provides volume increase. It offers solutions for various needs with its chopper blades, digital scale, mixing helix, opposite blade placement, side conveyor extension option and magnets and feed sorting feature.
