Design and Simulation of an Industrial Poultry Feed Mixing Machine

Poultry feed mixers are used in feed mills for the mixing of feed ingredients and

premixes. The mixer plays a vital role in the feed production process, with efficient

mixing being the key to good feed production. If feed is not mixed properly, ingredients

and nutrients will not be properly distributed when it comes time to extrude and pelletize

the feed, or if the feed is to be used as mash. This means that not only would the feed

not have nutritional benefit, it would be bad for the animals that are eating it.

Poultry feed mill mixer does not make the material segregation when mixing

materials. Feed materials will not occur grading phenomena, which can better achieve

mixed more accurate. The poultry feed mill mixer is suitable for small batch animal feed

production and has low residual materials. As one of the most popular small poultry feed

machines, poultry feed mill mixer adopts the helical structure of mandatory, and total

power required for mixing feed materials is low, and the sealing performance is

relatively good.

The method for testing must be conducted with different feeds formulation.

Different feed rates is essentially useful on both formulations to get the mixing and

pelleting capacity of the machine. Testing of the machine must be targeted at evaluating

its mixing and pelleting efficiency, through put capacity and percentage recovery rate.
