What is the role of paddle mixer in animal feed

Paddle mixers play an important role in animal feed production. It is a commonly used mixing equipment that fully stirs and mixes different raw materials and additives together through rotating paddles. The animal feed paddle mixer is also one of the feed mixing equipment. It uses its unique design and working principle to effectively mix powdered and granular feed raw materials to improve the uniformity and utilization rate of feed. Here is the role of paddle mixer in animal feed

Mix evenly

One of the main functions of a paddle mixer is to achieve uniform mixing. In animal feed, it is usually necessary to mix a variety of raw materials and additives, such as grains, soybean meal, fish meal, vitamins, minerals, etc. These ingredients may vary in particle size, density and composition. Without adequate mixing, animals may selectively take in certain ingredients when eating, resulting in an unbalanced intake of certain nutrients in the feed. The paddle mixer fully stirs and mixes the raw materials and additives through the rotating paddles, so that the ingredients in the feed are evenly distributed, thereby improving the balance of the animals' intake of various nutrients in the feed and ensuring that the animals receive comprehensive nutrition.

Improve digestibility of feed

Paddle mixers also improve feed digestibility. Through the action of stirring and turning, the paddle mixer can break the structure of the raw material particles and increase their surface area, making them easier to digest and absorb. For example, for cereal raw materials, a paddle mixer can break the particles, increase their digestible starch content, and improve the starch digestibility in the feed. This helps the animals utilize nutrients in the feed more efficiently and improves the nutritional value of the feed.

Promote even distribution of additives and improve production efficiency

Paddle mixers also promote even distribution of additives and improve production efficiency. In animal feed, it is often necessary to add some nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, etc. Paddle mixers can evenly disperse these additives throughout the feed, ensuring that each feed contains the right amount of additives, avoiding uneven distribution that can lead to excess or insufficient intake of feed by the animal. In addition, the paddle mixer has efficient mixing capacity and fast mixing speed, which can evenly mix a large amount of raw materials and additives in a short time, improve the efficiency of feed production, and reduce production time and costs.

The role of the paddle mixer in animal feed is mainly reflected in uniform mixing of raw materials and additives, improving the digestibility of feed, promoting even distribution of additives, and improving production efficiency. It is an indispensable key equipment in the animal feed production process, which can ensure that animals receive balanced and nutritious feed and promote the healthy growth of animals.
