Abstract

The present research was carried out to manufacture and evaluate some operating parameters affecting the performance of an animal feed horizontal mixer to improve product quality. The mixer performance was studied as a function of change in material batch size and mixing time. Performance evaluation of the horizontal mixer was carried out in terms of mixing homogeneity, coefficient of variation, specific energy and mixing cost. The experimental results revealed that coefficient of variation; mixing homogeneity; specific energy and mixing costs were in the optimum region under the following conditions: -        The mixer shaft is designed at a diameter of 80 mm. -        Operate the mixer at a batch size of between 700 to 850 kg. -        The mixing time should be of between 15 to 20 minutes.
