About Our Products
How should the right TMR capacity be selected for a farm?
How should the right TMR capacity be selected for a farm?
Capacity should be based on the feed intake of one pen or multiple pens per feeding. For stable mixing performance, each batch should usually fill 40%–90% of the rated TMR volume. The effective working volume is normally around 85%–90% of the rated capacity.
What is the mixing performance and coefficient of variation?
What is the mixing performance and coefficient of variation?
The tested coefficient of variation is below 3%, with the best result reaching 0.48%. This supports more uniform ration distribution and balanced nutrient intake.
What materials and plate thicknesses are used?
What materials and plate thicknesses are used?
Available materials include Q345 manganese steel and NM400 wear-resistant steel. Auger flighting thickness is 16–20 mm, floor thickness is 20 mm, and sidewall thickness is 8–10 mm. Stainless steel liners can be customized according to feeding intensity and ration type.

What is the effective working distance of the Bedding Spreader?
Effective working distance depends on capacity. Typical reference values are below 120 m for 8 m³, below 150 m for 10 m³, below 180 m for 12 m³, and below 400 m for 30 m³.
Why use a dedicated Leftover Feed Collector instead of a loader?
Why use a dedicated Leftover Feed Collector instead of a loader?
Loaders can damage the ground and often leave fine feed residues behind, which may become moldy. The FC series leftover feed collector reaches a collection rate of up to 95% and integrates weighing and mixing functions, making leftover feed handling more efficient than using a loader and a separate TMR mixer.
Can the Leftover Feed Collector weigh the collected feed?
Can the Leftover Feed Collector weigh the collected feed?
Yes. A high-precision weighing system is included to show how much feed remains in each barn. This data helps farms adjust feed formulas and control feeding costs.
Is the machine difficult to operate?
Is the machine difficult to operate?
Operation is simple. The self-propelled design works similarly to an automatic vehicle, and collection and discharge functions are controlled from the cab through buttons and handles. Basic training is usually enough for daily operation.
Can collected leftover feed be fed directly to cattle?
Can collected leftover feed be fed directly to cattle?
Yes. The internal auger system loosens and mixes the collected feed during operation, improving palatability. It is suitable for transfer and redistribution to heifers, replacement cattle, or dry cows with lower nutritional requirements.
How should different farm sizes configure the Leftover Feed Collector?
How should different farm sizes configure the Leftover Feed Collector?
For farms below 3,000 head, one 12 m³ unit is recommended. For farms above 3,000 head, one 16 m³ unit is recommended. For farms above 10,000 head, two 12 m³ units or two 16 m³ units are recommended.
Which is better, a chain scraper feed wagon or an auger feed wagon?
Which is better, a chain scraper feed wagon or an auger feed wagon?
A chain scraper structure is preferred for feed delivery because it does not damage the physical structure of the ration or cause feed stratification. Compared with auger-type delivery, the FS series feed spreader offers lower fuel consumption, a lower failure rate, and a service life for key parts that is more than five times longer. This has been verified in 10,000-head dairy farm operations.
Will feed remain inside the box after discharge?
Will feed remain inside the box after discharge?
Very little feed remains after discharge. Tested residual feed is ≤ 3 kg. The scraper structure cleans the bottom of the box thoroughly, helping prevent leftover feed from becoming moldy and affecting feed intake or milk production.
What tractor horsepower is required?
What tractor horsepower is required?
Compared with auger-type feed wagons of the same capacity, the chain scraper structure requires less power. For example, a 10–12 m³ feed wagon can normally operate with a 70–90 HP tractor.
How should a feed wagon be matched with a TMR mixer?
How should a feed wagon be matched with a TMR mixer?
The recommended matching ratio between the feed wagon and the TMR mixer is usually 1:1, or the feed wagon can be slightly smaller than the TMR mixer capacity.
What is the conveying efficiency and method?
What is the conveying efficiency and method?
Feed is conveyed by a chain scraper system at about 1.2 m³/s and distributed through a discharge belt. The chain is durable, maintenance-free, and has a typical service life of 5–8 years. In verified 10,000-head dairy farm operations, the system has continued working after 10 years of daily 12-hour use.
