Small batch mixers

precise weighing – consistent mixing – stable feed production

The SKIOLD Cone Mixer combines precise batch weighing with efficient forced mixing to ensure a uniform feed composition. It has been developed for smaller-scale batch production, where accurate dosing of the individual ingredients is crucial to feed quality and efficient feed production.

The cone mixer can weigh batches of 30–50 kg and has now been upgraded with a new generation of load cells, which provide significantly improved weighing accuracy. For a batch size of 30 kg, weighing accuracy of 2 per cent is achieved. The new load cells are combined with a structurally optimised mounting system that reduces the impact of vibrations on the weighing process. This ensures more precise and stable batch weighing – even with smaller feed quantities.

The high weighing accuracy makes the cone mixer particularly well-suited to multi-phase feeding, where the feed is produced in smaller batches and subsequently distributed precisely to the individual feed lines. This provides better control over the feed composition and the dosing of the individual ingredients.

The mixer is manufactured from heavy-duty stainless steel, ensuring a robust construction, a long service life and high hygiene standards. The outlet is controlled automatically by a pneumatic cylinder, ensuring controlled and efficient emptying of each batch.

A 300 x 300 mm hopper made of galvanised sheet metal ensures a steady feed to the mill. A level sensor continuously monitors the material level in the hopper, ensuring the mill receives a stable feed and can be utilised efficiently.

The result is a robust and precise mixing solution that provides better control over the feed mix and supports stable and efficient feed production.
