These robust machines offer reliable performance for dairies and beef operations, ensuring efficient feed processing. Our feed mixers are built to last, featuring heavy-duty construction and components that can handle the demands of daily use. Whether you’re operating a dairy farm or a beef operation, our Vertical Feed Mixers are engineered to provide years of trouble-free performance. From twin auger to single auger options, our mixers are designed to deliver consistent and thorough feed mixing, making them an essential tool for optimizing livestock nutrition and production.
Overview
Herd-Boss’s heavy duty vertical mixers are an essential piece of equipment for feeding livestock and other farm animals. The design of the mixing tub, particularly the choice between sloped wall tubs and straight wall tubs, significantly impacts the efficiency, effectiveness, and suitability of the mixer for specific applications. A sloped wall vertical feed mixer can create a fast-moving volcanic action due to the space between the auger flighting and the tub wall. This can lead to better mixing and easier loading.
Advantages
S-Series mixers promote a natural tumbling action that enhances the mixing process and works efficiently with the auger design. This design facilitates a more uniform ration mix in less time compared to the V-Series designs, where materials may not circulate as effectively.
Herd-Boss minimizes dead zones where material can build up, ensuring a cleaner and more consistent volcanic mix by not allowing feed to accumulate in the corners.
The absence of sharp corners and the smoother transition between the walls and the base in vertical mixer tubs simplify cleaning processes. This design reduces the risk of cross-contamination and decreases downtime for maintenance.
The geometry of Herd-Boss vertical mixer tubs facilitate better material flow towards the auger’s moving parts and discharge outlet. This is particularly beneficial for materials that are prone to bridging or compacting, ensuring a more efficient emptying process.
Herd-Boss Vertical Mixers can handle a wide range of materials, from powders to granules, and even some pastes and slurries. The improved mixing action and material flow make it suitable for applications requiring the blending of materials with varying densities and particle sizes.
The efficient mixing action and reduced resistance against material movement in sloped wall designs can lead to lower energy consumption compared to straight wall mixers. This makes them more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run.
Best Suited Applications
The S-Series vertical feed mixer is best where uniformity and consistency are critical for feed mix quality while staying efficient with costs. The V-Series are also great mixers for mix quality but the sloped walls of the S-Series reduces horsepower requirments.
Industries focusing on minimizing waste and contamination, benefit from the efficient emptying and reduced material buildup from all Herd-Boss vertical mixers.
The V-Series mixer is best suited when a lower height requirement is needed. These mixers allow for a lower loading height while also holding a large capacity.
