Product Overview
A vertical feed mixer is a TMR ration preparation machine designed to cut, lift, blend, and discharge mixed feed for livestock farms. It is used to combine roughage, silage, straw, grain, concentrate, minerals, and premix ingredients into a more uniform feed mixture for daily feeding.
This model uses a tower-type vertical auger inside a reinforced mixing tub. The auger and knife system helps move feed through the chamber while processing long forage, bulky straw, silage, and mixed feed ingredients. The machine can be configured with single, double, triple, or four-auger structures depending on batch size and farm scale.
For farms that handle high-roughage rations or need flexible capacity options, this vertical TMR feed mixer helps simplify feed preparation, reduce repeated manual handling, and support a more organized feeding workflow.

FAQ
What is a vertical feed mixer used for?
A vertical feed mixer is used to prepare mixed feed for cattle, sheep, and mixed livestock farms. It can cut, lift, blend, and discharge hay, silage, straw, grain, concentrate, and premix ingredients for daily TMR ration preparation.
What feed ingredients can this vertical feed mixer process?
It can process corn stalks, baled rice straw, alfalfa, silage, peanut vines, sweet potato vines, distillers grains, tofu residue, concentrates, and mixed feed additives. Final model selection should match feed length, moisture, and daily feeding volume.
What capacity is suitable for medium and large farms?
For medium farms, an 8–12m³ vertical TMR configuration can be considered when daily feed volume increases. For larger cattle or sheep farms, 12–24m³ vertical or trailed TMR configurations are more suitable for higher batch capacity. Final selection depends on ration density, forage length, moisture level, batch frequency, power supply, tractor availability, and farm layout.
What is the difference between a vertical feed mixer and a horizontal feed mixer?
A vertical feed mixer uses a vertical auger to lift and mix feed inside the tub, making it suitable for roughage, long forage, and larger batch options. A horizontal feed mixer uses a horizontal chamber and is often chosen for faster blending of chopped or pre-processed materials.
Is hydraulic discharge available?
Yes. The hydraulic discharge door supports controlled unloading and a smoother feeding workflow. The discharge direction and setup can be confirmed according to your barn layout and feeding route.
Does the machine include a soft-start cabinet?
The XL-21 soft-start cabinet can be configured to help protect the motor and reducer during startup. Final electrical configuration should be confirmed before quotation.
Can the capacity and machine size be customized?
Yes. Capacity, machine dimensions, auger structure, motor power, reducer configuration, discharge method, color, branding, and packaging can be customized based on project requirements.
