Feed mixer (feed mixer) is a special agricultural equipment that greatly facilitates the process of preparation and distribution of feed for cattle, as well as allows to improve the quality of feed mixtures. Feed mixers are produced by many manufacturers of agricultural machinery, but livestock enterprises that need efficient and durable equipment, choose vertical auger feed mixer BvL from the German company BvL Maschinenfabrik. FarmyLand LLC offers to buy a feed mixer of this brand.
Why do you need a feed mixer?
For good live weight gain and increased milk yields cows should receive a balanced diet, which includes grass or hay, cake, bran, root crops, special additives. It is important not only to use quality ingredients and observe the proportions, but also to prepare the mixture correctly – crush the components and mix thoroughly so that enriching additives are evenly distributed in the main mass. A feed mixer optimizes this process:
- many feed mixers perform several operations at once – loading the components into the hopper, cutting large blocks, chopping, mixing and distributing the finished feed;
- when mixing manually it is impossible to achieve such homogeneity (homogeneity) of the mixture, which is provided by the BvL mixer;
- labor costs for preparation of feed mixture are reduced;
- a large number of portions are prepared in a short period of time, you can buy a feed mixer with a suitable hopper volume to provide nutrient mixture for all livestock in one working cycle.
Types of feed mixers BvL
Today to buy a mixer of feed in Ukraine can buy farms of different scales. Feed mixers BvL depending on the functionality are divided into several categories:
- V-MIX – slave feed mixers with external loading, hopper-trailers, which cling to a tractor or other self-propelled machinery and require the use of loading equipment;
- V-MIX FILL – self-loading. The feed mixer of this series is also a driven (trailed) wheeled machine, but is equipped with its own bucket for loading components into the hopper (L models) or bucket and cutting unit (LS models);
- V-MIX FIX – stationary feed mixers without wheels, designed for installation directly in the barn.
BvL also produces self-propelled machines V-MIX DRIVE. This is a self-loading feed mixer combined with a tractor. The price for such a feed mixer is much higher than for slave or stationary models, but it is a self-sufficient, fully functional technique.
What kind of feed mixer to buy?
The choice of series depends on the conditions in which the feed mixer is planned to be used, the level of equipment with other machinery, as well as on the financial capabilities of the buyer. In addition to the method of loading and mobility, such features are important:
- hopper volume;
- number of augers;
- overall height – if the height of the passage, loading is limited, you can buy a feed mixer with a low landing;
- unloading system – the number and location of unloading windows varies;
- presence of a cutting device, which divides the silage block into large even slices (available in some models with self-loading).
The first 2 characteristics are interrelated, the more spacious the hopper, the more feed can be prepared for one load and the more augers are needed for effective chopping and mixing of components. To determine which feed mixer to buy, it is worth clarifying with the seller, for what number of animals is designed for this or that model. Let’s compare the characteristics of the most compact and the largest models of the V-MIX series:
- AGILO – hopper volume 3.5-5 m3, 1 auger, recommended for farms with 21-31 cows;
- GIANT – 40-46 m3, 3 augers, can feed up to 400 cows.
