How to choose from a wide range of equipment, European quality level, the option that is suitable for your farm - in terms of the scale of production and the nature of the tasks performed? First of all, when choosing equipment, it should be remembered that every technical characteristic of the trailed feed dispenser, as well as the principle of its operation, is important. And here your choice is facilitated by the fact that for all models offered by Belexalto there is a detailed description in the factory documents, translated into Russian and English.
Cow Feed Production and Distribution Technology
The most important thing in the process of preparing feed for cattle is to improve the quality of the feed mixture. This reduces the sorting of feed by animals and contributes to a full diet, which in turn provides them with good health and affects the increase in milk yield.
The main feed for cows is hay, straw, silage, fresh grass, corn, root crops, compound feed and feed additives. Use of different types of fodder allows to produce a full-speed fodder mixture.
Therefore, the main task to be solved is to obtain a homogeneous nutrient mass while improving its characteristics.
The most significant advantage of the equipment supplied by Belexalto is the quick and high-quality preparation of animal feed while fully preserving its natural properties. And here the design of the screw and tank plays an important role. It is necessary that the contents flow around the kneading area at a suitable rate to obtain a uniform mass. Such result is provided by screw design. It is also important that the mixture is not processed by compression, heating and pressing during kneading and cutting.
Gama Group, which manufactures equipment under the Euromilk brand, takes livestock feed technology to a qualitatively higher level.
Proposed equipment allows grinding and mixing fodder mixtures from different components. Among them are hay, silage, green mass, root crops, combined feed, hay, feed additives.
The company-supplied feed mixers under the Euromilk brand are divided into two main groups - models with a vertical screw and models with a horizontal screw.
Vertical Auger Models
This line of equipment includes models with one or two screws. The volume of single-screw modifications from 5 to 14 cubic meters. m, two-screw - from 14 to 32 cubic meters. You can also purchase feed dispensers-mixers with three screws with a volume of 32 to 44 cubic meters, but such models are made only to order.
The reinforced steel bottom of the tank with a thickness of 20 mm has high wear resistance, resistance to deformation and is designed for many years of intensive operation.
Each unit allows you to add large bales to the mixture. This feature is realized by the innovative helical shape of the EM Opti-Cut screw with a unique arrangement of knives, so that the equipment can be used with low-power tractors. The number of cutting knives depends on the mixer model and varies from 7 to 9 pcs.
Thanks to this design, the mixture drawn in by the screw continues to mix and grind as it falls back down. This speeds up the process of preparing the mixture for the cattle.
The vertical feed mixers are provided with: adjustment of the position of the discharge hole, variable height of the hydraulic chute or a transverse conveyor with an elevator.
The vertical shredder can be equipped with the Dinamica Generale weighing system (Italy), which is equipped with electronic program control. It is also possible to install additional star knives (15 per screw), which improve the quality of cutting and reduce the mixing time of the mixture.
It is also important that the well-designed vertical feed mixer for Euromilk cows consumes 15% less energy, which significantly reduces the cost of its operation.
Horizontal Auger Models
In farms where mainly tethered cattle maintenance is practiced, tractor conveyors-feed dispensers with horizontal screw positions are in demand. They are especially comfortable for cowsheds with low entry gates. Such aggregates are efficient when working with light coarse fiber feeds (for example, straw). They also grind the contents better, as it passes through U-shaped knives - while in vertical models, the feed is cut due to the difference in the rotation speeds of the fodder and auger.
Models of horizontal feed dispensers are equipped with two screws, the volume is from 7 to 20 cubic meters. m. A large number of knives provides a high degree of grinding of the contents. However, horizontal feed mixers are vulnerable to solid objects (for example, stones or metal) entering the bunker. Therefore, we recommend purchasing magnetic pickers as an additional option.
Additional options include the Dinamica Generale system (Italy) for weighing, equipped with electronic software control.
To buy the optimal feed mixer for your farm, pay attention to the volume of the bunker, dimensions and other characteristics of the feed dispenser.
You can purchase equipment for the preparation and distribution of Euromilk brand feed from an official dealer - Belexalto LLC.
All offers of Belexalto LLC are accompanied by warranty obligations, service and original spare parts.
