Mastering the Art of TMR Feed Mixer Machine EvaluationA 

One-Second Inspection Guide to Cutting Maintenance Costs

In the competitive livestock and dairy farming industries, total mixed ration (TMR) feed mixers are critical pieces of equipment responsible for blending a precise combination of ingredients into a nutritious, palatable feed for your herd of animals. However, identifying the quality of these machines at a glance can be a challenge, often requiring extensive experience and technical expertise. In this article, we reveal a simple, one-second inspection process that can help you determine the quality of your TMR feed mixer and ultimately reduce your future maintenance costs.

●Check the Heart of Animal TMR Feed Mixer--- Auger

Mainly composed of one or two twisted dragons, spiral twisted dragons are divided into left-handed and right-handed. During mixing and cutting, the material is rotated and stirred from both ends of the box to the middle of the mixer at the same time. Each spiral lead on the auger spiral is equipped with a moving blade, which is used for cutting work with fixed teeth on the feed mixer line position. Various fibrous grass and straw passing through are cut and stirred to achieve a fully mixed feed effect of crushing and mixing evenly.The auger is the heart of the TMR feed mixer and is responsible for mixing the various ingredients. Check the auger for wear, damage, or deformation. Any abnormal condition of the auger can lead to uneven mixing and poor feed quality.

●Check the TMR Feed Mixer Commander---Electric Control Box

The control box is the power source that drives the auger. Check the control box for any signs of line leaks, excessive vibrations, or unusual noises. These indicators can indicate potential problems that may require maintenance or replacement.

●Check the Feed Discharge System

The discharge door control consists of a hydraulic cylinder, a fixed support, a connecting support, and a sliding discharge baffle. The discharge sliding baffle is installed on the reciprocating movement shaft of the hydraulic oil cylinder, which can open the discharge or close the blocking.Pay attention to any irregularities in the discharge process, as these can signal potential issues with the machine's hydraulics or mechanical components.

● Pay Attention to the Weighing and Metering System

The machine consists of four bridge-type load-bearing sensors and a load-bearing display controller. The system transmits signals to the weighing display instrument through four directional bridge-type load-bearing sensors, displays gross weight, net weight, peak value, weight change to output zero, and completes the feed ratio and metering. And it has an overload alarm function. Pay attention to the accuracy of the data to ensure that the mixing of feed is more scientific.

●The blade should be checked before use

Check whether the screws caused by the equipment during transportation are loose, especially the fastening screws of the blade and the fixed bottom knife should be noted. If there is any looseness, it should be tightened immediately. If there are any deformed or damaged parts, if so, they should be corrected or replaced.

●Conclusion

TMR feed mixers are essential equipment in the modern livestock and dairy industries, and their quality has a profound impact on the success of your business. By utilizing the one-second inspection techniques outlined in this article, you can quickly and confidently assess the quality of these critical machines and make informed decisions that will help you reduce maintenance costs, increase productivity, and provide your animals with a quality feed product. Beyond that, pay attention to the choice of TMR machines. Choose a high-quality TMR, a quality machine that not only produces high-quality feed, but also reduces waste, improves feed conversion efficiency, and minimizes the risk of feeding-related health problems. Conversely, sub-par machines can result in inconsistent mixing, unbalanced nutrition, and increased maintenance costs - all of which can negatively impact your bottom line.
