Conventional Auger Mixing Conventional auger mixers use force and pressure which results in higher power requirements. Excessive bottom auger pressure compresses and crushes feed ration fiber that creates fines. The ROTO-MIX professionals know that quality feed means increased consumption, therefore, higher production levels. With ROTO-MIX IV you reduce fines, minimize shrinkage, and eliminate dead spots. The gentle tumbling action mixes fragile flaked and high-moisture ingredients without grinding, resulting in a fluffier, more nutritional ration.
Nothing robs a ration of nutritional value more than fines.
Conventioal auger mixers use pressure to move the feed through the mixing chamber, thus crushing the feed and creating fines. But the ROTO-MIX patented mixing system uses a rotor to gently life the feed past the wedging point of the lower side auger, keeping fines to a minimum and reducing nutritional loss. Even the most nutritious ration is effective only if the cattle eat the complete ration. The patented rotor lifts feed up to the side augers that moves the feed from end to end for thorough mixing. The lifting action of the rotor eliminates wedging of hay or long cut feeds under the lower auger.
