METHOD FOR PRODUCING OF FEED MIXTURE IN HOPPER TYPE MIXER AND FEED MIXER Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A01F29/02 A23N17/00 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, production of feed mixture using mechanized processes.

SUBSTANCE: method involves charging into hopper stalked and non-stalked components non-homogeneous as to their density, with shaft of working tool being inclined toward vertical axis of rotation of drive shaft; mixing said components while grinding stalked component by means of rotor-type working tool, said material being additionally mixed during operation of mixer owing to moving working tool along non-fixed path, said mixing and movement occurring owing to non-homogeneity of material; terminating mixing procedure after stabilization of rotation shaft of working tool in vertical position. Feed mixer has working tool mounted within hopper and made in the form of cantilevered screw-type material lifting conveyor. Working tool has grinding members formed as plates with dented edge and is positioned on vertical drive shaft so that its shaft may be inclined to axis of rotation of drive shaft. Free end of working tool has indicator for indicating position of its shaft of rotation.

EFFECT: high homogeneity of feed grinding process as to feed density and provision for visual controlling of termination of mixing process.
