Feed Mixers 45Hp | Verti-Mix 70Get latest price

Suitable for stud farms getting stock ready for sale, cattle, sheep, goat, and smaller farms having opportunity supplement feeding when paddock feed is in short supply, or finishing stock off ready for market.

Mixing feed has advantages for both the farmer and livestock. Uniformly mixed feed components provide better nutrition, improved feed efficiency and cost, and the opportunity to reduce wastage. In dry times, when much of the feed is purchased off farm with higher costs, wastage and efficiency are even more critical. Improved nutrition benefits milk yield or weight gain and contributes to animal health and fertility.

The Strautmann Verti-Mix 70 feed mixer, featuring the IMS mixing auger, has been built to suit Australian paddock conditions, with an Australian history of over 30 years.

FEATURES OF THE VERTI-MIX MIXER WAGON CONSTRUCTION

• The simple construction is built for strength, long life and low maintenance
• Thick steel plate is used in the critical mixing components for long life
• The ST 52-3 steel gives strength and long wear life
• The base plate floor is 15mm, the auguer is 15mm and the bowl walls are 6mm thick
• Single axle chassis
• The axle has hydraulic brakes and a manually applied parking brake
• Wheel chocks are also included
• PTO shaft with shear bolt protection and wide angle joint at the tractor end allows PTO operation to continuously turn over the mix while travelling
• Adjustable parking stand

MIXING

• The Strautmann auger is stepped along the spiral, lifting and loosening the fodder as it mixes, creating a uniform feed ration without over processing. Tests have showed considerably reduced power consumption with the stepped design.
• The new Intensive Mix System (IMS) has an increased number of steps - smaller and more frequent. The steps now occur every 60 degrees of angle (previously 90 degrees). This accelerates the mixing process while using less power and reducing wear on the auger.
• Strautmann’s patented knife adjustment system means the IMS auger can be adapted to specific feed components that need an increased cutting in the mixing process, such as straw and complete round bales.
• The knives are available in two lengths and their working angle can be set according to need - aggressive cutting action or mixing.
• A mix of knife types and angles can be arranged along the auger flight.
• Additional scraper on auger for even and faster emptying
• The mixing bowls have 2 counter knives
• The counter knife position is manually set
• With counter knives set in the full inward position, this creates increased resistance for the movement of feed material in the bowl, thereby increasing the cutting action of the auger knives.
• Unchopped silage or long straw stubble can be chopped during mixing by using the counter knives
• The auger reduction gearbox is oil filled with external oil reservoirs for easy maintenance, while the top auger bearing is greased
• The galvanised access ladder can be used for inspection and for the addition of small quantity additives
