VERTICAL FEED MIXER WITH AUGER HAVING CORNERS

摘要

A vertical feed mixer has a mixing chamber containing a rotatable auger having a generally helical flight that is tapered to converge from bottom to top. The flight has a periphery with several successive substantially straight sections where each straight section has a blade at a trailing end thereof. A curved vertical blade is mounted on the lowermost portion of the flight near the periphery. The mixer requires much less horsepower to mix the same amount of feed as conventional mixers.
