CHOOSING THE RIGHT MIXER IS THE BASIS FOR OPTIMIZED NUTRIENT UTILIZATION!
More than just mixing!
The objectives of mobile and stationary mixers:
- Mix settled solids with the thin slurry
- Trouble-free flow during pumping
- Easy spreading without clogging
- Homogeneous deposition on the plants
SUBMERSIBLE MIXERS
Submersible mixers are easy to handle, guarantee low logistics costs and are ready for use at any time.
- Individual immersion depth
- High mixing performance
AXIAL MIXERS
The professional permanent solution for continuous mixing of slurry with a high solids content.
- Optimum efficiency
- Mixing at the touch of a button
RESILIENT AND EFFICIENT: THE RIGHT MIXER FOR YOUR SLURRY
Why is slurry mixed?
To mix the settled solids with the thin slurry. This is the basis for trouble-free flow during pumping and blockage-free spreading of the fertilizer. In addition, the nutrients are evenly distributed during mixing and are therefore evenly distributed among the plants.
Powerful mixers as the basis for your slurry management
All recommendations for the mixers initially depend on the condition of the slurry. This applies to the proportion of dry matter content, fiber and other residual materials (e.g. straw, etc.). Slurry mixers are used to prevent buoyancy (accumulation of particularly light substances on the surface) and subsidence (solids deposited on the bottom). In both cases, a powerful slurry mixer is required to distribute the nutrients evenly. This is the only way to spread slurry optimally.
How is the slurry mixed?
There are two basic types of slurry mixing:
- Create a jet or turbulence to prevent floating layers (colloquially known as “mixing”)
- Circulation or flow acceleration to prevent sagging layers (“agitation”)
With the right mixer in the right slurry, floating and sinking layers can be avoided.
For thin slurry with a dry matter content of up to 6%, we recommend a mixer with two blades and a higher propeller speed.
In contrast, a mixer with three blades and a slower speed is advantageous for medium to thick slurry (dry matter content up to 10%). In this way, the entire slurry pit is circulated slowly and continuously.
The optimum mixer for your farm
The choice of the right mixer therefore depends on many factors: dry matter content, degree of foreign matter, size of the slurry pit, etc. That is why we are happy to come to your farm. Together we will develop the slurry management system that suits you and your farm.
