SINGLE SHAFT FEED MIXER
Reliable Horizontal Feed Mixing Solution
Prime Mac Single Shaft Feed Mixers, manufactured by The Prime Industries, are designed for efficient and uniform mixing of powder and light granular materials in feed production and allied industries. With a compact horizontal design and a specially engineered rotor inside a round mixing body, this mixer delivers consistent blending performance with low investment and simple operation.
What Is a Single Shaft Feed Mixer?
A Single Shaft Feed Mixer is a horizontal mixing machine primarily used for powder-based formulations. It features a central rotating shaft fitted with angled blades (ribbon-style paddles) that move materials in multiple directions simultaneously, ensuring uniform mixing without segregation.
This mixer is ideal for applications where moderate batch sizes, stable performance, and cost efficiency are key requirements.
Key Applications & Usage
Prime Mac Single Shaft Feed Mixers are widely used in:
- Mash Feed Plants
- Poultry & Cattle Feed Production
- Aquatic Feed & Premix Manufacturing
- Fertilizer Powder & Granule Mixing
- Additives, Minerals & Supplements
- Chemical and Pharmaceutical Powder Blending
The mixer can operate seamlessly with hammer mills, screw conveyors, and auxiliary feeding systems.
High Mixing Uniformity
Achieves consistent blending with CV ≤ 7%, suitable for standard feed formulations.
Round Body Design
Eliminates dead zones and material blockage, ensuring smooth internal flow.
Chain-Driven Transmission
Provides stable power transfer, long service life, and reliable operation.
No Segregation Mixing
Designed to prevent material separation during the mixing cycle.
Simple Feeding & Discharge Layout
One end feeding and the opposite end discharge for easy material handling.
Compact & Cost-Effective Design
Requires minimal auxiliary equipment and lower capital investment.
Short Mixing Cycle
Efficient batch mixing within 3–6 minutes.
Working Principle of Single Shaft Feed Mixer
The Single Shaft Feed Mixer operates using a central horizontal shaft equipped with angled blades arranged in a ribbon-like pattern. As the shaft rotates, the blades push materials in opposing and overlapping directions, creating axial and radial movement within the mixing chamber.
This continuous circulation ensures that all ingredients are repeatedly lifted, folded, and blended, resulting in uniform mixing without particle damage or segregation, even with varying feed components.
