ABSTRACT:
An agricultural feed mixing and blending machine including a plurality of bins for different feed materials, variable speed metering augers in the bottoms of each bin to feed individual materials respectively to a confluence and mixing auger beneath the bins and operable to transfer the mixed material to a grinding unit, the confluence auger being operable when the metering augers are idle, to feed individual materials from an inlet hopper to an elevating auger and an upper transfer auger to deliver different materials respectively to the bins, the upper transfer auger also being reversible to deliver mixed material to the grinding unit, and a discharge auger being operable to receive mixed material and discharge it from the machine.
The present invention primarily is concerned with the inclusion of a container for an additive, such as chemicals or medicinal drugs, to the discharge mechanism for the mixed material for blending the additive in a controlled manner. When feeding of the additive is stopped, the discharge mechanism purges the additive by feeding sufficient mixed feed material through the discharge mechanism to insure no residue of the additive therein.
