Vertical TMR Mixers
for Commercial Feed Preparation
NexAgri vertical TMR mixers cut and blend forage and other ration ingredients for commercial feed preparation. Trailed and stationary options combine Q345B steel construction, planetary gearboxes and weighing systems, with capacity and drive selected for the farm’s batch routine.
Why Commercial Dairies Upgrade Mixers
Select the auger, knives and working capacity around forage length, ration ingredients, loading order and available drive power.
Mixing Routine
Vertical augers lift and fold the ration during mixing. Working fill, ingredient moisture, knife condition and loading order determine the cycle needed for the selected batch.
Auger Wear Plate Thickness
The listed auger plate range is 14–16mm Q345B steel. Select the configuration for daily batch volume and forage characteristics, and inspect wear during service.
Cutting & Blending
Serrated, tungsten-carbide-coated knives process forage as it moves through the auger. Match knife arrangement and cycle time to the target fibre length and ration.
TMR Mixer Configurations
Compare the listed trailed and stationary configurations around the feeding route, power supply and loading process. For a self-propelled requirement, request a separate configuration review.
Trailed TMR Mixers
PTO Driven Flexibility
Designed to be towed and powered directly by your tractor. Ideal for farms with multiple barns or dispersed feeding lanes, allowing you to mix and distribute in one continuous trip.
Stationary TMR Mixers
High-Volume Electric Power
Electric-drive stationary mixers suit a central feed-preparation area. Review the electrical supply, loading height and discharge interface for a conveyor or secondary delivery vehicle.
Engineering Specifications
Built to withstand the massive torque and abrasive friction of daily commercial forage processing.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Planning Guide
Compare mixer capacity, power, loading and delivery requirements using local energy prices and the farm’s daily ration routine.
1. Batch Consistency & Feed Refusals
Record the ration, moisture, loading order and current refusals before selecting a mixing routine. Check batch consistency and residual feed during operation, then adjust working fill and processing time to the ingredients. Evaluate any waste change against the farm’s own baseline.
2. Ration Specification & Loading Control
Use the ration specified by the farm’s nutrition adviser to define ingredient quantities, target fibre length and loading order. Weighing and mixing equipment supports that preparation process; intake and production outcomes also depend on the ration and wider feeding management.
3. Labor & Time Efficiency
Assess bale dimensions, density and forage length before deciding whether pre-processing is needed. Include loading, cutting, mixing, discharge and cleaning in the daily time estimate. Load cells support ingredient measurement when calibrated and used on the specified installation.

TMR Mixers FAQs
Practical equipment-selection and operating answers for commercial feed-preparation projects.
Should I choose a trailed or stationary TMR mixer?
Trailed TMR mixers are positioned for PTO-driven mixing and direct feed distribution into bunks. Stationary mixers suit a fixed feed-preparation centre and can be paired with conveyors. Choose from the farm's handling flow, power source and feed-delivery arrangement.
What TMR mixer capacity is available?
The page lists trailed configurations from 5 to 20 m³ with twin-auger options, while stationary mixers are listed up to 30 m³. Final capacity should match daily ration volume, batch frequency, forage density and the available loading equipment.
Can a vertical TMR mixer process long-fibre forage?
The vertical-auger system is designed to process long-fibre forage through a lift-and-fold mixing action. Actual processing time depends on bale type, fibre length, ration ingredients, knife condition and the batch size.
What material is used for the mixer body?
The listed body uses Q345B steel, with a 14–16 mm Q345B auger plate range. Confirm the selected body and auger construction for batch volume, feed material and expected wear during machine selection.
Does the TMR mixer include a weighing system?
The page lists a multi-point, high-precision load-cell weighing system. Confirm the display, controls and any required data or automation interfaces as part of the final equipment specification.
