Equipment Update - Mixing Things Up

Image
Dalein Agriplan has broken the mould of our previous factory designs with the introduction of our new 3Ton (±6,000L) Capacity Twin Shaft Paddle Mixer, the MPT6000H . The mixer is a re-design of our popular 2Ton (±4,000L) variant mixer, the MPT4000H, streamlined and strengthened to withstand the larger loads associated to the larger feed mixing capacity. The mixer drive system consists of a specialized gearbox arrangement, developed in close conjunction with SEW Eurodrive's technical support team to deliver reliable performance results. The mixer is equipped with Dalein's tried and tested pneumatic discharge system, featuring failsafe technology in the form of a mechanical locking element preventing the system from discharging in the possible event of a power outage (an event happening more and more in production these days). The MPT6000H is a mixer designed for the African environment to accommodate harsh operational conditions. We are proud to announce that the first mixer of ...
