8. Normal mixing time is form 1 to 2 minutes after the last ingredient has been added. It is
necessary to run the
MaxiMixer at 1600 ENGINE RPM during mixing of ingredients such as
long stem hay or ensilage. It is not necessary to run the machine while loading. Strive for the
shortest mixing time possible, as over-mixing will decrease the value of the ration and will
cause unnecessary wear on the machine.
9. Proper mixing patterns are achieved when two cavities are visible in the mixer, one in the front
and one in the rear. Feed must be able to tumble from the top to the bottom of the mixer to
obtain maximum mixing potential. A mixer that is struck level full will not mix properly and
will put undue stress on moving parts.
10. Do not leave partially mixed loads in the machine for long periods of time such as during the
day or overnight. Acids from the feed will react with the steel and will cause premature
deterioration of the machine. It is better to mix two small loads, than one large load.
