The excellent performance of the feed mixer ensures the final quality of the powder agitation, but these good properties require auxiliary equipment to enhance the function, and the silo is one of them. In order to improve the production efficiency, the preparation silo is arranged above the mixer, so that there is always a batch of the prepared materials waiting for mixing, which can increase the production efficiency by 30%, so as to reflect the advantages of the high-efficiency mixer. Secondly, the material will form a gas arch and it is difficult to cut the material. The silo should be equipped with a gas-assisted air cushion or a vibration motor. For maintenance and sealing, the silo port should be equipped with a pneumatic or manual valve. In order to smooth the material, the cone angle of the silo should not be greater than 60 degrees.
Due to the characteristics of the batch operation of the feed mixer, we usually set up the silo in the upper part of the feed mixer in actual production. This silo mainly plays a buffering role here. When the feed mixer is working, the silo accumulates materials. When the silo accumulates to a certain time, the materials in the feed mixer are also stirred. After the material is discharged, the material of the silo enters, then the feed mixer works, and the silo accumulates materials, such a cycle. The reciprocating achievement of the feed mixer can also be continuously operated in batch work. Therefore, the upper silo industry of the feed mixer is also called a buffer tank.
When the mixing operation of the feed mixer is completed, the material is discharged. At this time, the single-shaft feed mixer can discharge directly, but the twin-shaft feed mixer is not. The biaxial feed mixer is conventionally used for automatic opening or manual discharging. After the feed mixer is opened for 1-9 seconds, the internal agitated powder can be discharged. Due to the short material discharge time of the biaxial feed mixer, we generally set the silo delivery or directly set the finished product warehouse for storage buffering. The silo conveys the material discharged from the feed mixer on the one hand, and on the other hand, the auger quickly transports the stored powder to the designated position. Another function is closed work, avoiding dust spillage and reducing dust in the workplace. Emissions ensure a good production environment.
In feed production, the guarantee of feed quality depends on several factors such as raw material formula, raw material composition, performance of feed mixer and working mode. However, since feed mixers are mostly batch-based batch work, this gives continuous feed production. Sex poses a challenge. How to ensure the continuity of feed production is a contradiction point for the batch operation of feed mixers. After a lot of practice and continuous exploration by several generations, we believe that the relationship between the silo and the feed mixer is a primary and secondary relationship.
