FEED MIXER-DISPENSER Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: feed mixer-dispenser has frame carrying double-sectioned hopper and shaft with holders mounted within one of sections. Mixing blades are fixed on shaft. Mixing-discharge auger is positioned in other section of hopper which is provided with discharge window equipped with gate connected with hydraulic cylinder. Feed particles are moved in vertical direction due to displacement of mixing blade holders one relative to another in direction of rotation of shaft through angle exceeding feed and steel friction angle. During displacement of feed in vertical direction mixing is performed with further movement of mixed feed by auger coils to intensify mixing process. Auger axis is positioned lower than shaft axis for value equal to half the auger coil radius. Such construction provides complete discharge of feed from hopper. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified construction and wider operational capabilities. 3 dwg
