SPECIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
PENTA TMR Mixers consist of Augers, Cutting Knifes, Conveyors, Weighing systems, Hoppers &
Gearing, mounted on a towable chassis which is powered by PTO along with a 12V power supply.
Penta prides itself with providing various combinations of options to suit the farmer and operational
needs.
INTENDED USE
TMR mixers give extreme flexibility to ration formulation and feed. They provide a great opportunity to mix
and match all forage types, commodities and feed additives. PENTA TMR mixers are ideal for cutting / mixing
and distributing feed to livestock. A typical mix is made of powder, liquid, granular, silage commodities &
forage baling materials/crops.
The benefits of vertical-auger TMR mixers are:
1) Flexibility
2) Inclusion of any type of forage/storage method, at high levels
3) Utilization of low quality forages
4) Inclusion of commodities
5) Ration homogeneity - acidosis control
6) Mixing precision
7) Ability to use urea (NPN) in rations
8) Ability to add medications - including ionophores to boost cow efficiency
9) Potential for improved feed efficiency from properly balanced rations
10)Give the same feed to every cow from the first to the last.
Contact PENTA or your local Ministry of Agriculture to learn more about the growth and performances a TMR
mixer can benefit your operations.
