FEECO HIGH-SPEED MIXERS

FEECO high-speed mixers are used in the production of phosphate based animal feeds. These vertical mixers are mounted on top of pugmill mixers to provide a thorough reaction of the feed components and mixture of materials prior to further mixing and granulation in the pugmill mixer.

HOW HIGH-SPEED MIXER GRANULATION WORKS

The high-speed mixer is composed of a vertical tube with a shaft running down the center. The shaft is affixed with several paddles that spin as the shaft rotates. The shaft spins at around 300-400 RPMs to create a homogeneous mixture of the feed components. This allows for intimate mixing and a thorough reaction of the materials.

Once thoroughly mixed, material exits the high-speed mixer, where it is fed by gravity into the pugmill mixer. The reaction finishes, and granulation takes place in the pugmill. The granules are then dried in a rotary dryer.

The high-speed mixer approach to animal feed granulation is unique to FEECO and produces a high quality, premium animal feed product. The thorough mixing provided by the high-speed mixer improves the reaction, increases granule uniformity and crush strength, and also produces more on-size pellets than a traditional pugmill-mixer-to-dryer approach.
