Feed Mixing Equipment
Find innovative feed mixing equipment and connect directly with world-leading technology suppliers.
In the animal feed industry, nutritionists make the formulas with the available ingredients, depending on the animal to be fed and its production stage. The formulated ingredients are mixed in different processes. However, there is a separate mixing process for the homogenous blending of the ground ingredients (macro and micro) and the liquids that come directly into the feed mixer.

High-quality pellets start with a homogeneous mixing process
Feed mixing equipment is key to obtaining a homogenous blend of the nutrients in the formulations. But apart from producing balanced nutritional values, mixing plays a significant role in the quality of feed pellets.
The ingredients that go into the feed products must be combined uniformly before they are transferred to extrusion and pelleting. Uneven mixing results in pellets of irregular consistency.
Macro ingredients go first in the feed mixing equipment
Four parameters to choose the right mixing technology
Ensure that horizontal mixers are filled to the correct capacity
Horizontal mixers are typically more suited to industrial feed production. And one of the most important factors to consider is capacity.
Overfilling or underfilling the mixer results in incomplete mixing as the agitators need to move the ingredients thoroughly. Keep an eye out for the paddles or ribbons in the mechanism. The feed mix will stay balanced if the design is adequate for your components.
Avoid extreme volumes in vertical mixers to prevent agglomeration
Maintenance tips to follow for a high-quality mixing operation
Proper maintenance of the mixer and all the equipment in the production line is vital for efficient performance and operation.
Preventive maintenance should be done regularly to lubricate, change oil, repair, or replace the moving parts before they are too worn. In everyday operation, the mixer needs to be monitored to control the mixing time and the sequence of adding the ingredients, to check the quality of the mix, and to detect any malfunction on time, guaranteeing a uniform and homogeneously mixed formula.
