Vertical feed mixer 3 m³

The Celmak vertical mixer trailer with a 3 m³ capacity is the mid-range model in the range of vertical mixers for preparing and blending livestock feed, positioned between the smaller 2 m³ model and the largest 5 m³ model. The machine uses a vertical auger that blends the various ration components into a homogeneous mix, while simultaneously chopping larger pieces via built-in blades. Overall machine dimensions are considerably larger than the smaller model: 4,300 mm long, 1,750 mm wide and 2,250 mm tall, while the mixing tub measures 2,350 × 1,500 × 1,500 mm. The auger turns at the same speed as the smaller model, 52.25 rpm, with a greater number of blades — 5 spiral combined with 2 fixed — matched to the greater volume of content being processed. Empty machine weight is 1,820 kg, more than double the 2 m³ model, in line with the considerably reinforced construction needed for the greater capacity. Operation requires a tractor of 45 to 55 HP, a wider range than the smaller model's fixed 45 HP, calling for a somewhat stronger tractor depending on the specific configuration. This model is intended for medium livestock farms needing a larger daily quantity of prepared feed than the smaller 2 m³ model can offer, but for which the largest 5 m³ model wouldn't be economically justified due to a smaller head count or the power limits of the available tractor. Keeping the same auger speed as the smaller model, while adding more blades, suggests the manufacturer scaled the design primarily through the size and number of working elements rather than rotation speed, retaining the proven, reliable mixing principle from the smaller model.
