FEEDMIX Molasses Mixer-Conditioners, developed by the MAP Division of WAMGROUP, are specifically designed to tackle this challenge. They continuously integrate, condition and blend molasses or similar liquids into animal feed, combining process reliability with cost efficiency.
Continuous integration of high-viscosity liquids
FEEDMIX is a continuous single-shaft mixer-conditioner for feed and premix lines handling a wide range of formulations for ruminants, poultry, swine and pet food. Its core function is to accurately handle the addition of:
- molasses;
- oils and oil blends;
- liquid additives for animal feed and pet food;
- water and similar liquids for conditioning and humidifying the product.
The result is a homogeneous blend achieved in a very short retention time, ensuring stable product quality and preparing the feed for downstream processes such as pelleting or extrusion, while keeping energy consumption and total cost of ownership under control.
SINT conditioning chamber: no build-up, reduced wear
At the heart of the machine lies the conditioning chamber made from a special SINT engineering polymer, featuring non-stick and wear-resistant properties. This proprietary WAM material delivers three key advantages:
- it significantly reduces sticking and build-up of molasses and viscous liquids;
- it protects the housing against abrasive wear over time;
- it makes cleaning faster and easier, cutting downtime between runs or product changeovers.
Thanks to the SINT chamber, optimised internal geometry and strategically placed liquid inlets, FEEDMIX operates with a continuous product flow, free from dead zones and with high process repeatability.
Removable rotor shaft and modular tools
FEEDMIX has been engineered with service and uptime in mind. The rotor shaft is completely removable, and the mixing/conditioning tools are modular and individually replaceable.
For plant operators this translates into:
- targeted maintenance focused only on worn tools;
- reduced intervention time;
- the ability to fine-tune tool configuration to match specific product characteristics or formulations.
In addition, FEEDMIX incorporates a dry feeding and conveying section that handles the product upstream of the liquid injection zone, improving dosing accuracy and overall process stability.
Process safety and product protection
The machine is equipped with an elastic SINT outlet safeguard, helping protect both the unit and the product from shocks or local overloads. A vertical inlet with XBZ flange connection and a revolving inlet flange make it easier to connect FEEDMIX to the existing line, simplifying installation and layout optimisation.
The drive unit features an integrated shaft seal, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing the risk of product or liquid leakage.
Capacity and performance
FEEDMIX covers a capacity range from 10 to 40 m³/h in standard operation and approximately 5 to 35 m³/h with molasses, making it suitable for small, medium and large-scale feed mills.
Key technical features include:
- conditioning chamber manufactured from non-stick, wear-resistant SINT engineering polymer;
- fully removable rotor shaft with modular mixing/conditioning tools;
- dedicated dry feeding and conveying section;
- elastic SINT outlet safeguard;
- revolving inlet flange;
- liquid supply points integrated in the conditioning section.
Together with an exceptionally short processing time, these features make FEEDMIX particularly well suited for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
Tangible benefits for feed mills
From an application standpoint, FEEDMIX offers a range of benefits that are immediately visible in day-to-day operation:
- improved feed quality and consistency, thanks to uniform molasses and liquid distribution;
- minimal product residue in the chamber, reducing waste and cross-contamination risk;
- low energy consumption relative to its throughput and mixing performance;
- quick and simple maintenance, supported by robust, wear-resistant SINT components;
- fast payback driven by process optimisation and reduced unplanned downtime.
Options and integration into plant automation
FEEDMIX can be supplied with:
- an electronic control panel, enabling process parameter adjustment and seamless integration into the plant’s automation system;
- liquid injection equipment, sized according to the specific molasses, oil or additive requirements.
Combined with other MAP solutions for animal nutrition mixing, FEEDMIX becomes a strategic node for operators looking to standardise and optimise molasses addition in their feed production lines.
WAMGROUP quality and certifications
Like other WAMGROUP machines, FEEDMIX is designed and manufactured within an ISO 9001-certified quality management system audited by TÃœV SÃœD. This ensures controlled processes, full traceability and consistent performance at global scale.
For engineers, production managers, maintenance teams and purchasing departments, this means relying on an industrial-grade solution supported by an international network of subsidiaries, service teams and spare parts.
For feed mills and animal nutrition plants that want to combine high product quality, process efficiency and long-term reliability, FEEDMIX provide a best-in-class answer.
