mixers
1. Mixing functions
Mixing is a process for getting all ingredients blended
There are two process steps that need mixing operation in a feed mill:
1. Premixing: It is to mix all micro-components needed for animal
growth such as added vitamins, minerals, medicines, etc. with a
carrier preliminarily before being added to the main mixture so as to
shorten the mixing retention of the complete compound feed, which is
predicated on the homogeneous distribution of micro-components. A
premixer is usually adopted for this purpose.
2. Final step mixing: All feed ingredients are weighed according to the
required proportions and fed into the mixer to be made into the
complete compound feed products needed for animal growth.
3. Mixing process
There are three main mixing modes on the basis of
4. Classification of mixers

Batch Mixers
5. Twin-shaft paddle mixer
The twin-shaft
paddle mixer
consists of a
machine casing, an
outlet and its
sealing, an outlet
control mechanism,
rotors, a main drive,
an geared motor
and its base, an
pipe line for oil
addition, and a
safety guard shield,
etc.

6. Premix mixer
6.1 Production characteristics of premix
Compared to normal compound feed manufacturing, more
kinds of ingredients with much complicated components are
needed for the production of premix, there is a great disparity
in their amounts used, and some of them are corrosive and
toxic, so they must be proportioned
accurately, mixed
homogeneously, and packed tightly. Thats why premix should
be produced by special equipment.
There should be no residue inside the premix mixer after discharging, and the
machine should feature self-cleaning function, easy manual cleaning and is free of
cross contamination;
There should be no material leakage at the shaft ends of the premix mixer, and no
material attached on the rotor and the inside walls of the trough;
Special nozzles provided can apply paraffin wax by means of compressed air;
The distance from the top of the rotor to the roof of the mixer casing should larger to
increase the spray area.
The mixer for common compound feed can never be used directly as a
premix mixer!

Note: Models with higher power are used for the application cases with higher liquid addition amount.
Prior to production operation the mixer should be put into idle running to see if
it runs smoothly and stably without any abnormal vibration, and discharging
mechanism should also be checked for normal working.
Before operation, start up the geared motor firstly, then start feeding after the
rotor gets into normal running.
The level of the stock bed inside the mixing chamber can be neither lower than
the axis of the main shaft nor higher than the top of the rotor.
Additives can only be added when half batch of the main ingredients have
already been fed in the machine, and oil spraying should not be started until
all the main ingredients have fed in, and after the oil application is finished the
ingredients can not be discharged until they have been mixed for a proper
while.
When stopping the machine, no oil residue is allowed inside the oil adding pipe
so as to avoid pipe blocking due to oil solidification.
No metal impurities can be contained in the ingredients so as to protest the
paddles from damage.
The operation of the geared motor, cylinder and other accessory elements
should coincide with regulations in the operation manual.
following formula:
CV=S/X 100%
In which,
S - standard deviation of the content of the detected
ingredient in each sample of mixture;
X - average value of the content of the detected
ingredient in each sample of mixture
