1000 KG/Batch Ribbon Feed Mixer in Chile

OVERVIEW

This is a project about a ribbon feed mixer in Chile. Chile’s livestock industry is experiencing steady growth, especially in the southern regions where dairy and beef production are expanding to meet both domestic and export demands. A family-owned mid-sized dairy farm in the Los Lagos Region decided to purchase a ribbon feed mixer in Chile to enhance the efficiency and uniformity of feed mixing for their cattle.

Previously, the farm relied on simple paddle mixers that were insufficient for evenly mixing fibrous and granular feed materials, leading to inconsistent feed distribution and occasional nutritional imbalance.

This purchase represented a new investment to expand their feed processing capabilities rather than replacing older equipment. The farm already had a corn grinder and forage chopper, and the addition of a single SLHY2.5L ribbon feed mixer machine allowed them to process more complex Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feed batches efficiently.

    SLHY2.5L

  • Power:

    18.5 kW

  • Volume:

    2.5 m³

  • Raw Materials:

    Corn silage, Grass hay, Corn grain, Mineral premix

Customer Profile and Purpose of Purchase

The customer is a family-owned dairy farm with approximately 120 lactating cows, producing milk for both local markets and small-scale cheese production. They chose to invest in a single ribbon feed mixer for several operational reasons:

The farm decided that purchasing one SLHY2.5L ribbon feed mixer was sufficient for their current herd size while maintaining flexibility for future expansion. The single-unit purchase allowed them to gradually modernize their feed processing line without over-investing in unnecessary machinery.

Raw Material Specifications and Preparation

The farm relies on locally available feed ingredients suited for Chilean dairy operations:

  1. Corn silage – harvested from their own fields and chopped to 15–20 mm
  2. Grass hay – dried ryegrass and fescue, chopped to 20 mm
  3. Corn grain – locally sourced and ground to 2–3 mm
  4. Mineral and vitamin premixes – added to ensure balanced nutrition for lactating cows

The chosen SLHY2.5L ribbon feed mixer was selected for its compatibility with these feed types:

This configuration allows the mixer to handle both fibrous and granular materials with precision, producing a consistent feed blend for the herd.

Equipment Functionality and Advantages

The SLHY2.5L ribbon feed mixer offers multiple benefits for the Chilean farm:

With the SLHY2.5L ribbon feed mixer, the farm achieves a consistent TMR feed mix, supporting optimal milk production and animal health.

Operational Impact and Benefits

Since the installation, the farm has observed significant improvements:

The ribbon feed mixer has become the core of the farm’s feed preparation process, enabling efficient TMR production and improved herd nutrition.

Logistics and Delivery

The ribbon feed mixer was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Valparaíso, the main port serving the Los Lagos Region and southern Chile. RICHI Machinery provided full support including:

This comprehensive support ensured that the equipment was operational immediately, minimizing downtime and accelerating feed production.

Customer Feedback
