INVESTIGATION OF THE CONSTRUCTIVE PARAMETERS OF THE MODERNIZED HORIZONTAL MIXTURE
The final operation of feed mixtures preparation is the mixing of components in special devices - mixers of batch or continuous type. From the zootechnical point of view, it is important not only to introduce the components in the feed mix into the required ratio, but it is also necessary that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. It is especially important to distribute in the mass of the feed mixture components that are introduced in small amounts and have high feed value or biological activity: mixed fodders, protein-vitamin supplements (PVS), premixes, vitamins, trace elements, medicines, etc. In the Livestock mechanization Laboratory of North-East scientific research Institute of agriculture the theoretical and experimental studies of a horizontal auger belt auger are carried out. The results of experimental studies show that the maximum value of the homogeneity coefficient of the finished product is nn=83.57%, with the flow capacity of the mixer being equal to Q=5.75 tons per hectare, specific energy consumption q=1.67 kilowatt per ton.
