Straight Wall Vertical Feed Mixers – V Series
Vertical Feed Mixers – Straight or 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 V-Series mixer has tub walls that have no angle or slope. This creates more pressure to force the feed to move downward and around the mixer, so it doesn’t get stagnant. This design allows for lower loading height and door clearance.
Overview
Herd-Boss’s heavy duty vertical mixer with straight wall tubs offers several advantages over one with sloped wall tubs. The design of straight wall tubs allow for lower height clearance, versatility with different loading equipment, and great clean out.
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 requirements.
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.
