Our Danish sister company Cormall has, for many years focussed in straw, hay and silage processing mainly to the biomass energy market but also to the dairy and beef cattle sector. It’s very large spiral mixers in capacities 18m3, 22m3, 30m3, 42m3 and 50 m3 has been the cornerstone of its processing system and we have brought these magnificent mixers.
The MX30 mixer can handle some 7.5 tons of straw, hay and a higher tonnage of silage in one mix and at 8-15 mixes per 8 hour day, some 60 – 120 tons can be processed in one day. The most remarkable feature however is the low power consumption of only 44kW on the 50 cubic meter mixer versus at least 240 kW on a similar vertical mixer, or just 18% of the vertical mixer’s power. And the high efficiency difference is obvious when considering the following comparative ratios:
1. Feed variation 16.1% in Cormall vs 41.9% in vertical mixers.
2. Mix variation 3.7% vs 9.4% in the verticals.
3. Mineral variation 2.4% in Cormall mixers vs 9.4% in vertical mixers.
The mixer is filled with front end loaders. Bales are added without shredding and the mixed product is overhead discharged on completion in bulk trailers with unload capacity and small tractor driven.
Poultry, swine and other feeds can be mixed with the same efficiency and is easily loaded without additional conveyors into bulk cars.
