TMR machinery, also known as Total Mixed Ratios feed mixer, is a type of feed processing and transportation equipment.

The following is a detailed introduction to TMR machinery:

Structural composition:

Stirring system: This is the core component, usually composed of a helical screw. Spiral bodies are usually equipped with moving blades, which cooperate with fixed teeth on the centerline of the machine during equipment operation to cut and mix various fibrous forage, straw, etc. that pass through. Coarse and refined feed, as well as trace element additives, are fully mixed to achieve uniform crushing and mixing, in order to meet the nutritional needs of animals.

Discharge system: composed of hydraulic cylinder, fixed bracket, linkage bracket, sliding discharge baffle, etc. The discharge sliding baffle is installed on the reciprocating shaft of the hydraulic cylinder, which can control the opening and closing of the discharge door to achieve the release of feed. The discharge area is usually equipped with high-strength magnetic plates to complete the iron removal task and prevent iron impurities from entering the feed and causing harm to animals. Some TMR machines can also be equipped with discharge conveyors for more efficient output of feed.

Feed addition system: Some TMR machines are equipped with specific feed addition devices, making it convenient for users to add various feed ingredients. At the same time, users can also choose the feeding conveyor to complete the addition of feed and improve feeding efficiency.

Weighing and measuring system: generally composed of four bridge type weighing sensors and a weighing display controller. The system transmits the weight signal of the feed to the weighing display instrument through a bridge type weighing sensor, which can display information such as gross weight, net weight, peak value, and weight change output zero position, accurately completing the feed ratio and measurement. It also has an overload alarm function to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the feed ratio.

Type classification:

Traction type: It needs to be connected to a tractor or other traction equipment to provide power through the traction equipment. This type of TMR machinery has strong maneuverability and can move between different sites, making it suitable for large-scale breeding farms or places with multiple breeding areas, making it easy to transport feed directly to feeding locations.

Fixed type: usually installed in a fixed position, requiring a fixed feed processing workshop. It is driven by fixed energy sources such as electricity and is suitable for cattle farms or sheds with narrow passages that cannot pass through large traction machinery. Fixed TMR machines have high mixing efficiency and can meet the needs of large-scale feed processing. They can also be used in conjunction with other feed conveying equipment to transport the mixed feed to various feeding areas.

Self propelled: Equipped with its own power system, it can drive independently. This type of TMR machine is flexible in operation and does not rely on other traction equipment, allowing it to move freely within the breeding farm, improving the efficiency of feed processing and feeding. But its price is relatively high and maintenance costs are also high, making it suitable for large modern breeding farms.

Horizontal feed mixer: suitable for mixing small batches of materials with high specific gravity, loose structure, and low moisture content. It has a large mixing space and can accommodate a large amount of feed. The mixing process is relatively smooth and has good cutting and mixing effects on the feed. It is commonly used in small and medium-sized breeding farms or feed processing workshops.

Vertical feed mixer: suitable for mixing materials with high moisture content and good adhesion. Vertical mixers have a small footprint and compact structure, making them suitable for places with limited space. Its mixing method allows the feed to be mixed vertically, which can better ensure the uniformity of the feed.

According to the mixing method of the auger:

Divided by power source:

Working principle: The rotary screw of the mixing system is driven by a motor or other power device to rotate, and different feed materials are simultaneously cut and stirred from both ends and directions of the box to the middle position of the machine. During the mixing process, the moving blade and fixed teeth continuously cut and mix the feed, ensuring that various feed components are evenly distributed together, forming a nutritionally balanced fully mixed diet.

advantage:

Improving feed utilization: It can fully mix various feed ingredients to prevent animals from being picky eaters, ensuring that every bite of feed is nutritionally balanced, thereby improving feed utilization and reducing feed costs.

Improving animal health: Accurate feed ratios and uniform mixing can provide stable nutrient supply for animals, help maintain stable rumen pH, enhance rumen function, reduce the occurrence of digestive system diseases, and improve animal health and immunity.

Improving production efficiency: Compared to traditional manual mixing of feed, TMR machinery can quickly and efficiently complete the mixing and processing of feed, greatly saving manpower and time, and improving the production efficiency of the breeding farm.

Wide applicability: Suitable for various scales of breeding farms, whether it is a small family farm or a large modern breeding enterprise, you can choose the appropriate type and specification of TMR machinery according to your own needs.
