You can save lots of time every
day by automating your feed-
ing. A quality mixer gives you
optimum feed mixes, simpler
distribution and many benefits
at the touch of a button.
Successful feed managementYou can optimize milk production through an advanced feeding strategy. The right feeding system is vital to produce a high milk yield and to ensure healthier cows.
Diets made to meet the nutrition requirements of high producing dairy cows typically contain relatively high amounts of concentrate and high quality forages. High structure roughage is also necessary to maintain and improve cow health. It increases chewing activity and saliva production, providing for a stable rumen pH to reduce the risk of digestive disorders.
Providing a well mixed ration makes it more difficult for cows to separate and sort the ingredients to pick out their favourite foods. Well mixed rations help the farmer to ensure that the cow eats the balanced feed, improving dry matter intake and stimulating higher levels of milk production.

Full range of mixersClearly the right equipment is critical. To meet this need DeLaval now provides a full range of different mixing systems for different types of farms: DeLaval vertical mixer VM, DeLaval horizontal mixer MW, DeLaval horizontal stationary mixer HSM and DeLaval vertical stationary mixer VSM. The mixer wagons can be linked via the weighing system to advanced feeding software, to
reduce feed costs and increase farm profitability. DeLaval mixers achieve an excellent ration mix and simplify its distribution to the herd.
You chooseDeLaval aims to deliver the best solution for each kind of farm. Choose between vertical or horizontal mixing systems, or the automatic feeding concept.
Integrated with your systemFor even greater levels of automationDeLaval mixers can be fully integrated with your feeding management system, including Optifeeding or Optimat, and Alpro™ herd management software.

Make short work of round
bales. No more slicing and
awkward manoeuvring of parts
of large round bales. With a
DeLaval vertical mixer the
complete bale goes into the
mixer, and the powerful auger
does the rest.
Cuts, mixes and distributesA DeLaval vertical mixer provides a good feed mix within a short mixing time. The unique auger design in combination with the counter knives mixes and cuts even whole round bales and long straw. The central auger cuts, agitates and mixes the feed in the mixing container. All fibres are cut to an even length, and the mixed ration ingredients are thoroughly combined into a fluffy high quality mix. The homogeneous mix ensures that the cows eat all the components: concentrate and other ingredients are so well mixed together, the cow can’t pick out just what she likes. The fluffy mix leads to high feed intake.

Electronic scalesThe SI100 scales, with an easy to read display, provide accurate weighing. Recipes can be programmed on SI600 scales. The scales SI1600 offer the enhanced range of options available with TMR feed manager software. This can be linked to ALPRO™ herd management to offer you even better control of your feed management.
Efficient distributionDistribution is simple and precise, so each group of cows will get the right amount of good quality feed. The unique cross conveyor system enables feed to be discharged evenly on either side of the mixer, so the wheels will not ride over the feed.
We offer a full range of vertical mixers from 5 m³ to 20 m³

Two speed gear boxMost DeLaval vertical mixers have a two speed gearbox, which reduces the power needed from the tractor and ensures efficient mixing, distribution and emptying of the mixing wagon.
Choice of sizesDeLaval vertical mixers come in six sizes, from 5 m³ for small farms to the heavy duty 20 m³. All have mixing containers in high quality steel, and
mixing gear designed for heavy duty operation and long service life. Customize your vertical mixerThere is a range of options to customize your mixer to your requirements. These include chain or belt conveyors for feed distribution, as well as an elevating conveyor to reach high feed tables. Cutting knives come in high quality chrome vanadium, or have heavy duty tungsten coating. The control system can be mechanical or
electro-hydraulic, and wagons can be equipped with either hydraulic or pneumatic brakes if needed. Durable and reliableThe vertical mixers are designed for long life and low maintenance. DeLaval vertical mixers will run for long hours, and scheduled service and maintenance is straightforward and easy, to minimize downtime and control costs.

You get even, homogeneous
mixing with a three-auger
horizontal mixing system and
an efficient cutting device.
Optimized cutting and mixingDeLaval HSM and MW have a three-auger horizontal mixing system for the best quality mix. Knife options include special round knives for long-fibred material.
Self load with silage cutterA silage cutter can be fitted to horizontal mixers. This leaves a smooth, straight-cut face, which helps to maintain feed quality and reduce silage wastage. It also cuts down on manual labor.
Scale systemThe scales provide exact weighing, programmable recipes and an easy to read display.
Strength and reliabilityThe robust design is made for hard conditions and high usage. The mixer’s hydraulic system is handled via the control panel or with levers inside the tractor cabin.
Automatic feedingDeLaval horizontal stationary mixer HSM is the heart of an automatic feeding system, linked to a rail suspended feed wagon. It is designed for heavy usage and frequent feeding, up to 15 times per day.

The critical weighing and
programming of the mixed
ration can be managed either
on a stand alone system, or
connected to DeLaval TMR
feed manager software. This
in turn can be connected to
ALPRO™ herd management.
The stand alone scale system provides for weighing all feed as it is added to the mix, or distributed out. All the scales are very easy to read, with large clear letters.• The scale SI100, weighs feed
ingredients and the mixed ration. • With SI600, different recipes can be
programmed. • The scale SI600 holds programming
of different recipes, and can be linked to TMR feed manager, which can be connected to ALPRO™ herd management.
The scale system connected to TMR software offers full control of feed management. Benefits, in addition to all the functionality of the stand alone system, include access to feeding history, ration management, and feed bunk management. It provides information on operator performance. It also enables inventory control and economic calculations: such as cost benefit analyses of feed composition and feed content and costs, relative to changes in milk volume and production income.
