Abstract

The article describes the effectiveness of the mixing apparatus of feed additives for animals with a horizontal and vertical mixing device. The characteristics of the interaction of a particle with a mixer blade are considered. The analysis of the trajectory of the particle during its contact with the blade. The processes of obtaining a multicomponent liquid mixture in devices with horizontal and vertical blade shaft are considered. The main characteristics of the process are presented in the form of similarity criteria. Empirical equations for the dependence of the parameters of the mixing process on the factors are obtained. The results of the study are presented in the form of graphs. The optimal parameters of the apparatus with a mechanical mixing device are indicated, providing a resource-saving mode of operation while maintaining the efficiency of the mixing process. The factors of the mixing process that affect the amount of energy consumption are determined.
