Apparatus for mixing and dispensing material

摘要

A mixer feeder wagon (1) for mixing and dispensing animal feed comprises a mixing compartment (10) and a dispensing compartment (11). A mixing rotor (40) rotatable in the mixing compartment (10) mixes animal feed therein, and urges the mixed animal feed into the dispensing compartment (11) where it is dispensed through a dispensing outlet (12) by a dispensing auger (36). The mixing rotor (40) is provided with first and second mixing paddles (43 and 44), respectively. Each first mixing paddle (43) is provided with a leading surface (59) which faces in the direction of motion of the mixing paddles (43), and extends from a leading portion (60) to rearwardly disposed trailing ends (62) for urging the material being mixed forwardly in the general direction of motion of the first mixing paddles (43) and endwardly in the general directions towards the trailing ends (62) of the first mixing paddles (43) for evenly distributing the ingredients throughout the animal feed during mixing.
