A vertical TMR feed mixer is a self-contained feed processing machine that chops, mixes, and blends roughage, concentrate feed, minerals, vitamins, and additives into one balanced Total Mixed Ration. It is also known as a TMR feed mixer, TMR feed preparation machine, TMR feed mixing machine, or simply a TMR mixer.

The vertical design mounts one or more augers inside an upright mixing tub. As the augers rotate, long-fiber materials such as corn silage, hay bales, and straw are pulled downward, cut by hardened blades, lifted, and recirculated. This continuous action produces a uniform blend that prevents cattle from sorting feed and leaving the least palatable ingredients behind.

Taizy builds vertical TMR feed mixers in capacities from 3 m³ to 36 m³. Small models can serve 200–250 head per day, while large-capacity TMR mixers can prepare ration for 2,000 head or more. The typical batch cycle runs 15–20 minutes, so a single unit can replace the manual work of 20 or more laborers.

What Is the Difference Between Stationary and Tractor-Towed Vertical TMR Feed Mixers?

Taizy supplies two structural types to match different farm layouts and feeding routines.

Stationary Vertical TMR Feed Mixer

A stationary vertical TMR feed mixer is installed on a concrete pad inside a feed room or feed center. It is loaded by front loader, conveyor, or bale handler and discharges the finished ration into a cart, conveyor, or directly into the feed alley.

This configuration suits:

  • Fixed dairy barns with centralized feed kitchens
  • Beef feedlots that prepare ration at one point
  • Commercial feed centers serving multiple farms
  • Operations with reliable grid power or a standby generator

Stationary models are available with hopper capacities from 5 m³ to 36 m³ and working capacities from 1,500 kg/h to 10,000 kg/h.

Tractor-Towed Vertical TMR Feed Mixer

A tractor-towed vertical TMR feed mixer is mounted on a heavy-duty chassis with wheels. It is hitched to a tractor and driven by the tractor PTO, or it can carry its own diesel engine and hydraulic system. This mobility lets operators mix feed in the yard and discharge it along feed fences or in open lots.

This configuration suits:

  • Grazing dairy and beef operations
  • Farms with multiple barns or remote paddocks
  • Contractors who prepare feed at different customer sites
  • Operations that want to avoid building a fixed feed room

Tractor-towed models range from 6 m³ to 20 m³, with working capacities from 1,700 kg/h to 4,500 kg/h.

What Power Options Are Available for a Vertical TMR Feed Mixer?

Taizy vertical TMR feed mixers are offered with three power systems. Each has clear advantages depending on your farm infrastructure.

Electric-Hydraulic Drive

Electric-hydraulic models use an electric motor to turn the augers and a hydraulic cylinder to control the discharge door.

Advantages:

  • Lower operating cost where grid power is available
  • Quiet, clean operation suitable for indoor feed rooms
  • Precise hydraulic door control for measured discharge
  • Easy integration with automatic weighing and recipe control

Tractor PTO Drive

PTO-driven models use the tractor’s power take-off shaft to rotate the augers. They are the most common choice for tractor-towed machines.

Advantages:

  • Lowest capital cost for farms that already own a suitable tractor
  • Direct mechanical drive, simple and efficient
  • Easy to move and position at the feed fence
  • No separate engine to maintain

How Does the Vertical TMR Feed Mixer work?

The mixing tub contains one, two, or three vertical augers. Each auger has left-hand and right-hand spiral flights. During operation, feed moves from both ends of the tub toward the center.

Hardened blades mounted on the auger flights work against fixed knives along the centerline. This cutting action shortens long fibers such as corn silage, hay, and straw while blending them with concentrates and additives.

The cycle repeats until the ration reaches the desired particle length and uniformity. A weighing system with four load cells displays gross weight, net weight, peak weight, and weight change, and it includes an overload alarm to protect the gearbox and motor.

The discharge system uses a hydraulic cylinder, fixed support, linkage support, and sliding discharge gate. A high-strength magnetic plate removes ferrous contaminants before the ration leaves the machine. The discharge gate can be positioned on the left or right side to match your layout.

Key Advantages for Dairy and Beef Operations

Using a vertical TMR feed mixer on a dairy or cattle farm delivers measurable production benefits:

  • Prevents selective feeding: Every bite contains the same roughage, concentrate, and additives.
  • Improves dry matter intake: Cattle eat more when feed is uniform and palatable.
  • Supports higher milk yield: Balanced nutrition meets the energy and protein needs of lactating cows.
  • Reduces mineral and vitamin deficiencies: Additives are evenly distributed, lowering the risk of deficiency or toxicity.
  • Cuts feed waste: Less sorting means less leftover feed in the trough.
  • Saves labor: One machine can replace more than 20 workers.
  • Long service life: The tub is built from Q345B steel, the bottom plate is reinforced up to 25 mm, and blades are Cr12MoV alloy steel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What tractor size do I need for a PTO-driven vertical TMR feed mixer?

Small 6–9 m³ models generally require a 70–90 HP tractor with rear PTO. The 15 m³ model needs 90+ HP, and the 20 m³ heavy-duty model requires more than 170 HP with a rear output speed of 800 r/min.

How long do the blades last on a TMR feed mixer?

Blade life depends on the feed materials and operating hours. Cr12MoV alloy blades on Taizy mixers are hardened for wear resistance. Most users inspect blades every 500–1,000 operating hours and replace them when cutting performance drops or edges show significant wear.

Can the vertical feed mixer process whole round bales?

Yes, but bales should be opened or partially broken before loading. Whole round bales can overload the auger and extend mixing time. Removing twine or net wrap is essential to prevent damage to blades and wrapping around the shaft.

What electrical supply is needed for stationary electric models?

Most stationary models use standard three-phase industrial power. For example, the 5 m³ and 7 m³ units run on an 18.5 kW main motor plus a 1.5 kW discharge motor. Confirm your local voltage and frequency before ordering.

How do I clean the mixer between batches?

Run the auger empty for one to two minutes after discharge to clear residual feed. For thorough cleaning, lower the discharge gate, rinse the tub with water, and allow it to drain. Regular cleaning prevents mold growth and cross-contamination between rations.

Is the weighing system accurate enough for ration formulation?

Yes. The four-point load cell system displays gross weight, net weight, peak weight, and weight change. It is accurate enough for daily TMR recipes and includes an overload alarm to protect the machine.

Can I add liquid molasses or other additives during mixing?

Yes. Liquid additives can be poured through the top opening during the mixing cycle. For large volumes, an optional liquid dosing pump can be connected to add molasses, oils, or enzymes evenly throughout the ration.

What is the typical delivery time for a vertical TMR feed mixer?

Standard models are usually ready for shipment within 7–15 working days after order confirmation. Custom configurations, such as special voltage, additional discharge conveyors, or extra-large capacity, may need 20–30 working days.
