MILL & MIX: HORIZONTAL MIXERS PAGE Danagri-3S offers a comprehensive range of SKIOLD mixing equipment and machinery to suit any cattle or pig and poultry enterprise and to produce a variety of materials. HORIZONTAL MIXERS Danagri-3S supply the H-1000 SKIOLD Horizontal Mixer, a semi-industrial, heavy duty batch mixer suitable for mixing almost any kind of meal or granulated raw material with very high accuracy. The H-1000 is available in 3 formats: The mixer A pre-bin A holding hopper The great advantage of the combination of the 3 formats of the H-1000 together is the amount of time saved in the mixing process. If each of the three processes takes, for example 10 minutes, together the process only takes about 10 minutes. The entire mixer is made in solid welded steel with fittings available for many additional options. The cover of the H-1000 mixer is divided into three sections with four 150 mm pipe inlets for raw material intake and is equipped with an inspection door which allows manual addition of extra components, e.g. minerals. Liquid components are added through a nozzle placed at the end of the mixer. The H-1000 is solidly constructed for long life with an inspection door for manual additions and a nozzle for adding liquid components. One of the mixer end plates is bolted on to the trough, securing easy access to the mixing auger, which is mounted in adjustable bearings. As standard the mixer is equipped with a Q20 end outlet with either hand or motor operated throttle. Back to the top of the page. The H-1000 Horizontal Mixer has an open double auger arrangement situated in a cylindrical mixing trough. The open double auger pulls the material in one direction whilst the smaller central auger pulls in the opposite direction. This unique operating mechanism allows for homogeneous mixing and therefore produces more accurate rations according to formulation. It also means that there is optimum emptying of the mixer. The mixing principle of the H-1000 SKIOLD Horizontal Mixer from Danagri-3S The pre-bin is either placed directly on top of the H-1000 or installed with flexible connectors and 4 load cells. This latter arrangement allows for computer controlled batch mixing for weighing in. The discharge bin is delivered with a bolt flange for mounting under the mixer. The H-1000 is supplied with a 11 kW, 1400 rpm electric motor and is capable of mixing to a very high accuracy with capacities from 1 to 7 tonnes/hr in 8-12 minutes. The mixing volume is 2225 litres or 1 tonne. Back to the top of the page. MIXING PLANTS The H-1000 mixer can be used with SKIOLD's modular feed mills in many ways. For example: the mixer can have load cells mounted for computerized feed mills various types of mills or crushers can be mounted directly on top of the mixer the mixer can be equipped with a pre-bin etc. In our effort to increase the capacity of traditional computerized batch feed mills, we have developed a mixing arrangement with: a pre-bin with pneumatic bottom outlet a version of the H-1000 mixer with double bottom outlet a discharge bin with extracting auger Pre-Bin The pre-bin is placed either directly on top of the H-1000 mixer, or is installed with a flex connection and four load cells. In computer controlled batch mixing plants, these installation options allow direct weighing-in to the pre-bin. The pre-bin bottom consists of two inclined sides, of which one is equipped with a bottom throttle that opens in the full length of the mixer. The throttle is pneumatically controlled by means of two cylinders and is equipped with indication and a self-locking closing device. A pipe system equalises the air pressure between the pre-bin and the mixer when the material suddenly drops. Back to the top of the page. Mixer Bottom The mixer bottom consists of two trough shaped throttles which open in the full length of the mixer. The adjustable throttles are fitted on strong through shafts and they are both equipped with open and close indicators. The throttles are opened and closed by a pneumatic cylinder via a closing device which also has a self-locking safety function. Discharge Bin The discharge bin for the H-1000 mixer is delivered with bolt flanges for direct mounting under the mixer. The bin itself is equipped with an empty indicator and it has a large inspection door. A strong 250 mm trough auger, directly driven by a gearmotor, empties the bin. This emptying auger is equipped with a high level indicator. A homogeneously mixed ration from the H-1000 SKIOLD Horizontal Mixer Back to the top of the page.
