ABSTRACT:
A feed mixing apparatus for use wherever livestock is cared for and fed. The apparatus has a frame positioned by the user adjacent to a supply conveyor for feed constituents and a delivery conveyor for mixed feed. A hopper unit for selectively receiving feed constituents or discharging mixed feed is supported by the frame. A rotatable cylindrical drum with internal spiral mixing and conveying blades is mounted on the frame. The hopper unit is connected to the front of the drum by a cylindrical pipe having front and rear upwardly opening semi-cylindrical segments. An auger shaft extends from the hopper unit and through the pipe into and through the drum axially of the spiral blades. A drive means on the frame provides for unidirectional rotation of the drum so that the spiral blades are always moving feed constituents to the front of the drum. The drive means also provides for selective bidirectional rotation of the auger shaft for moving feed constituents from the hopper unit into the drum or for moving mixed feed from the drum into the hopper unit. Within the drum, paddle elements continuously direct feed constituents or mixed feed onto a rear pipe segment for movement by the auger shaft into or from the drum.
