Feed Mixing

The mixing process – next to weighing – determines the quality of the compound feed. It is a responsible process whose goal is to achieve a homogeneous composition of the mixture throughout the volume despite the fact that the raw materials can be very diverse in terms of composition, fragmentation, physicochemical parameters, etc. Homogeneity of feed is the key to proper animal nutrition.

 

Mixing feed

The mixing lines offered by TESTMER  are always designed to the clients’ requirements, feed types and raw material parameters. The line includes:

  • horizontal paddle mixer equipped with a outlet opening,
  • upper tank of the mixer,
  • bottom mixer tank with emptying unit,
  • liquids dosing system,

 

In addition, we also offer simple mixing lines based on horizontal mixers directed at applications where price and space is a limitation.

Paddle mixers for animal feed

Intended for mixing feed components, super concentrates, premixes and other ingredients with similar parameters. Mixing takes place through the movement of a agitator equipped with blades inside the mixer tank, which causes the raw material to move in all directions. Short mixing time and high homogeneity make them currently the basic equipment of a feed factory.

* – The weight of the batch is presented roughly. It may vary depending on the density of the material and its mechanical parameters.

Other dimensions of mixers are possible according to individual orders. The mixers can be made of ordinary or stainless steel.

As standard, each paddle mixer is equipped with a bomb-bay discharge ensuring fast emptying of the mixer - 5-10s , and ensuring tightness during the mixing process.

The large inspection door provides the opportunity to clean the mixer.   

Each paddle mixer can be equipped with a tank above the mixer with raw material level sensors and a quick emptying system serving as a buffer tank before mixing as well as a tank under the mixer with level sensors and emptying transport serving as a buffer tank after mixing.

The mixer is driven by a gearmotor ensuring long and service-free operation.

Liquids dosing system

Feed preparation requires mixing raw materials with liquid components such as oil, animal fat, liquid amino acids and more.

We provide complete dosing lines with tanks, pump systems. All liquid injection pipes are electrical heated to reduce a liquid’s viscosity. 

Ribbon mixers for animal feed

Designed for mixing feed components, super concentrates, premixes and other ingredients with similar parameters. Mixing takes place through the movement of a agitator equipped with double ribbons revolving in opposite directions, which causes the raw material to move in all directions. There is an electric discharge gate in the bottom of the mixer. Small dimensions, short mixing time and good homogeneity cause that it is often used in feed factories.

TESTMER - professional solutions for the feed production market

TESTMER WARSZAWA S.A. is the market leader in the production of technological lines for feed production in Poland. From 1991 we installed over 100 lines in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Italy and the Czech Republic.

The basic machine used in the feed production line is a pellet press. TESTMER started production of pelleting presses in 1991 and since then expanded its offer to include all machines related to the feed production process.

We offer warranty and post-warranty service for the feed production equipment purchased from us. Spare parts needed for the proper operation of the devices are produced by our specialized crew in our factory.
