Spirmix S Conveyor 2 augers 16 – 20
The Spirmix S conveyor range of low profile twin diet feeders consists of 4 models from 16 – 20 m3. These mixer wagons have been developed with the aim of offering a compact mixed ration distribution solution with a reduced overall height with a chassis integrated into the tank. These mixers can feed a herd of 85 to 135 head in one pass.

CThese twin auger diet feeders are equipped with a distribution conveyor that is ideally suited to fibrous rations. The transverse conveyor ensures even and fast distribution to the right or to the left of the prepared ration. The large size of the distribution conveyor (90 cm x 240 cm) and the discharge trap (120 cm x 80 cm) avoid blockage problems associated with fibrous rations and give a regular swath along the feed table. The speed of the conveyor can be adjusted for perfect control of the distribution.
- Front right / left feeding conveyor
- Manual conveyor offset (300 mm)
- Mixing auger equipped with 6 reversible tungsten carbide knives height 1100 mm
- In version 20 m3 8 knives with auger extension +30 cm
- 2 Manual cut-off plates
- Not programmable weighing box X 400
- Two-speed gearbox
- The standard machine uses 2 hydraulic function
The conveyor can be offset manually by 30 cm or hydraulically by 37,5 cm to the right or left. They are fitted to the front or the rear of the machine to be able to distribute, even in dead-end corridors. In option, a 2nd hydraulic motor for left and right side distribution of heavy rations on both sides. To ensure distribution in the troughs, the following elevation solutions are available:
- Elevating conveyor 0.9 m - Height of distribution 1 180 mm - Tank / conveyor offset 730 mm
- Elevating conveyor 1,2 m - Height of distribution 1 340 mm - Tank / conveyor offset 920 mm
- Elevating conveyor 1,5 m - Height of distribution 1 600 mm - Tank / conveyor offset 1 230 mm
Depending on the density, the ingredients in the ration and the capacity of the mixer, it is essential to customise the mixing auger. Each auger can accept 8 or 10 knives per auger. The angle of attack of the knives can be adjusted to increase their aggressiveness. It is also possible to add a Neodymium Magnet on the auger which allows the recovery of ferrous foreign matter.
The material moves better in a smooth rolled tank because it is not subjected to various constraints. As a result, the ration is mixed naturally and more effectively. The power required for a mix is reduced to a minimum. The smooth flared shape means that a homogeneous mixture can be obtained faster. The round design of the tank automatically extends the life of the tank. Aware of the intensive use of diet feeders, the tanks are made from HEL (High Elastic Limit) steel absorbing the stresses related to loading, mixing and to moving the laden machine.
Lucas G stepped augers have a unique shape that allows the ration to be cut and aerated through the steps that amplify the mixing of the ration for perfect homogeneity. As standard, the augers are equipped with 6 knives. It is possible to have 8 or 10 knives per auger and to adjust the angle of attack to increase the aggressiveness and thus cut the fibre more quickly. The screw blades have a tungsten carbide coating and are reversible to ensure a longer service life.
Each auger is driven by a planetary gearbox mounted halfway up the auger for a better stability and to reduce lateral resistance during mixing. These gearboxes are tested for intensive use and are independently protected by shear bolt to prevent damage.
All the vertical auger diet feeders are equipped with tank reinforcement which prevents deformation of the feeders. This reinforcement limits pressure on the planetary units and the weigh cells during displacement and loading phases to prevent damage.
The Spirmix S low profile mixers have been developed to fit into all livestock buildings. The axle is positioned to offer a very low overall height and high manoeuvrability, on the single auger models it is located at the rear of the bowl to reduce its size. On the Twin augers models the chassis is integrated to the tank between the two augers
The feeders Spirmix are standard equipped with a non-programable weighing system X400. Each machine is equipped with protected 3, 4 ou 6 weigh cells ensuring maximum stability and accuracy of the preparation of the ration. Depending on the model, functions available include weighing ingredients, managing feed recipes and adapting to number of animals and managing feed data. Tare weight system and skipping ingredient can be remote controlled. The X Management software will give you the possibility to manage your stock of raw material, calculate your feed costs per batch of animals.
Mixers are equipped with 2 oversized and manual cut-off plates of 85 cm as standard, they are reversed and located on rear right and front left of the tank side. These cut-off plates are adjustable in 5 positions to speed up the cutting process and to block the fibre at the bottom of the tank.As an option, it’s possible to equip the machine with hydraulic cut-off plates.
