Sloped Wall Vertical Feed Mixers – S Series
Vertical Feed Mixers –Sloped Wall Tubs
A vertical feed mixer is a type of feed mixing equipment identified by its vertical orientation, consisting of a tub and vertical augers where ingredients are blended. The two main types of mixers are sloped wall (S-Series) and straight wall (V-Series) mixers.
The sloped wall mixer has angled tub walls that promote a natural tumbling action that enhances the mixing process. This design facilitates a more uniform mix in less processing time compared to straight wall models
Overview
Herd-Boss’s heavy duty vertical mixer with sloped wall tubs offer several advantages over one of the straight wall tubs. The sloped wall tub design acts like a funnel to the auger. Providing more movement in the mixing action of the augers. This tub design also means a shorter leading edge length, using less horsepower requirements to turn the auger.
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
Sloped walls encourage feed to move naturally down the walls, ensuring better contact with the auger and more even distribution of ingredients throughout the mix.
Industries focusing on minimizing waste and contamination, benefit from the efficient emptying and reduced material buildup from all Herd-Boss vertical mixers.
Sloped walls provide the added benefit of gravity to aid in the mixing process, potentially reducing the need for high motor power.
