Preparation of feed mixtures by the combined blender

Abstract

The purpose. To raise quality and to improve the process of mixing together of feedstuffs due to application of new construction of the blender, to justify its rational parameters. Methods. Theory of mathematical simulation, bases of use of machinery in animal husbandry. Results. The computational model of operation of mechanically-technological scheme of the combined blender and mathematical model of dynamic interaction of agitator blades with feed monolith is developed. It is established that technological efficiency of preparation of uniform mix depends on physicomechanical properties of its ingredients, influence and interaction of the shape and geometrical parameters of attacking surface of blades, angle of inclination, step of device and operating conditions of the blender. Conclusions. Results of probes confirm an opportunity of heightening efficiency of technique of preparation of high-grade balanced feed mixtures for cattle by intensification of process of mixing together with application of construction of the combined belt-blade blender.
