FAQ
What is a horizontal feed mixer used for?
A horizontal feed mixer is used to mix chopped straw, silage, hay, grain, concentrate, wet by-products, and feed additives for cattle, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, deer, pigs, and mixed livestock farms.
What feed ingredients can this horizontal feed mixer process?
It can process wheat straw, corn stalks, peanut stalks, rice straw, silage, hay, distillers grains, tofu residue, concentrates, and mixed feed additives. It is more suitable for chopped or pre-processed roughage materials.
What capacity is suitable for small and medium farms?
For small farms, 3–5m³ horizontal twin-shaft models are usually practical for around 20–50 cattle or 200–500 sheep. For medium farms, 6–12m³ horizontal models can be considered based on daily feed volume, ration density, batch frequency, power supply, and working space.
Does this horizontal feed mixer include a weighing system?
An electronic weighing system can be configured to help measure feed weight, control ration ingredients, and manage feed inventory. Final weighing configuration should be confirmed before quotation.
Is hydraulic discharge available?
Yes. The hydraulic discharge door supports faster unloading and cleaner feed flow. The discharge direction and setup can be confirmed according to your barn layout and feeding route.
What is the difference between a horizontal feed mixer and a vertical feed mixer?
A horizontal feed mixer is more suitable for fast blending of chopped or pre-processed feed materials. A vertical feed mixer is often chosen for stronger roughage handling, larger batch options, and long forage processing.
Can the capacity, motor power and machine size be customized?
Yes. Capacity, machine dimensions, shaft structure, motor power, reducer configuration, soft-start option, discharge method, color, branding, and packaging can be customized based on project requirements.
