Mixer Wagon: Greater yield and optimization of times and costs

The mixer wagon is an agricultural machinery that has spread considerably in recent years both in large and small livestock farms, as it allows to mechanize the distribution of food for livestock, reducing the effort of the operators and speeding up the work.

It also allows you to optimize yield and costs, as it allows the use of farm products and by-products that are cheaper, but less palatable, which would not be eaten by the animal, but which, when mixed and blended with the noblest ones, are consumed instead.

When we talk about unifeed we refer to a technique of administering the constant feed ration used on farms.
Normally the rations are composed of long, dry or wet fodder and fibrous products (straw, hay, etc.), which are part of the animal's diet.

With the unifeed technique the products are mixed in a homogeneous way, so as to avoid that the animal chooses the most popular food, thus disadvantaging the correct diet.
in this way the cattle receive a balanced diet from both an energetic and nutritional point of view.

Italmix mixer wagons

Our company produces a wide range of mixer wagons: self-propelled and trailed horizontal and vertical and also stationary.
In self-propelled wagons, the operator is inside the cabin, located in front of the cutting line, an optimal position, since the machine works forward.
As for the towed wagons, on the other hand, the operator works inside the tractor cab, where the controls are usually located and therefore performs the work in reverse with the aid of mirrors or cameras.
Stationary wagons usually have an electric motor and are very interesting for biogas plants, for waste treatment or for preparing the substrate for mushroom beds.

The choice of the type of mixer strictly depends on the needs of the company that buys it.
Italmix proposes not only the three types of unifeed but also their composition; for example, depending on the space available to the company, there are different sizes of machines ranging from 6 to 60 cubic meters. Also interesting is the possibility of choosing between single-auger, twin-auger or even 3 auger machines.
Furthermore, if you want a horizontal towed carriage, you can decide whether to buy it with the cutter (range
