500KG TMR Mixer for Sheep in Australia

This is a project about a TMR mixer for sheep in Australia. This purchase was intended to optimize feed mixing before combining with existing grinding and forage processing machines. By acquiring a single high-quality mixer, the client could produce TMR feed more efficiently without needing a full-scale production line upgrade.

500KG TMR Mixer for Sheep in Australia

OVERVIEW

This is a project about a TMR mixer for sheep in Australia. Australia is one of the world’s largest producers of sheep meat and wool, with the majority of sheep farms located in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. The country’s climate ranges from temperate to semi-arid, making total mixed ration (TMR) feeding particularly valuable for maintaining consistent nutrition and growth across sheep flocks.

A mid-sized feed manufacturer in Victoria sought to improve its sheep feed quality and efficiency by purchasing a SLHY1.0A TMR Mixer for Sheep. Previously, the client relied on small, single-shaft mixers that could not uniformly blend high-fiber roughages with grains and premixes. This limited their ability to produce high-quality TMR feed consistently.

The client opted for this standalone TMR mixer to replace their outdated equipment. This purchase was intended to optimize feed mixing before combining with existing grinding and forage processing machines. By acquiring a single high-quality mixer machine, the client could produce TMR feed more efficiently without needing a full-scale production line upgrade.

Customer Profile

The customer is a sheep feed producer servicing both meat and wool farms in Victoria. Their objectives were:

The SLHY1.0A TMR Mixer for Sheep was selected due to its capability to blend both fibrous and powdered materials, its compact footprint, and reliability under Australian farming conditions.

Equipment Selection and Parameters

The chosen SLHY1.0A single-shaft double-ribbon TMR mixer for sheep was selected based on the client’s specific needs:

The double-ribbon design allows axial and radial movement of materials, ensuring homogenous mixing of coarse and fine components. The TMR mixer also maintains the integrity of fibrous ingredients like alfalfa and wheat straw, which are critical for rumen health.

Raw Materials and Feed Formulation

Australian sheep feed often uses locally available grains and roughages. For this project, the client’s TMR feed formulation included:

The SLHY1.0A TMR mixer for sheep in Australia ensures these ingredients are uniformly blended, resulting in a high-quality, ready-to-feed ration suitable for both lamb growth and adult maintenance.

Machine Operation and Process Details

  1. Feeding Process: Alfalfa, straw, grains, and premixes are manually loaded or added via pneumatic feeders. Molasses is incorporated during mixing for even distribution.
  2. Mixing Process: The double-ribbon agitator moves materials axially and radially, thoroughly blending coarse fibers with powders. Each batch takes 8–12 minutes for homogeneity.
  3. Discharge: Mixed TMR exits through the bottom chute into feeding bins or silos, ready for immediate use.
  4. Quality Monitoring: Samples are collected from each batch to verify consistency in particle size, nutrient distribution, and moisture content.

The TMR mixer for sheep performs reliably in Australia’s varying climate, handling both dry and slightly moist roughages without compromising feed quality.

Logistics and Delivery

The SLHY1.0A TMR Mixer for Sheep was shipped via ocean freight to the Port of Melbourne, the primary shipping port for Victoria. RICHI Machinery managed the shipping, customs clearance, and delivery to the feed production site in Victoria.

Installation and Commissioning

The client was able to produce consistent, high-quality TMR feed immediately after commissioning.

Benefits to the Client

By using the TMR mixer for sheep in Australia, the client has been able to enhance feed quality, maintain consistent nutrient content, and support optimal flock performance.

Customer Feedback

“The SLHY1.0A mixer exceeded our expectations. Our TMR feed is now perfectly blended every time, even with high-fiber ingredients. RICHI Machinery’s installation and training support were outstanding. Our lamb growth rates have improved noticeably, and we have a much more consistent product for our clients.”

Future Plans

The client regards RICHI Machinery as a reliable partner for long-term feed production solutions in Australia.

Conclusion

This TMR mixer for sheep in Australia project demonstrates that a single high-quality TMR mixer can transform feed production, enhance flock performance, and provide long-term operational reliability.
