In today’s competitive agricultural landscape, precision feeding isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. One of the most valuable tools for achieving nutritional consistency, maximizing herd health, and optimizing feed efficiency is the TMR Mixer, short for Total Mixed Ration Mixer. Whether you’re running a small dairy operation or managing a large-scale beef enterprise, investing in the right TMR mixer can significantly impact your productivity, profitability, and animal welfare.
What Exactly is a TMR Mixer?
A TMR Mixer blends various feed ingredients—such as silage, hay, grains, and supplements—into a uniform mixture that ensures each mouthful delivers balanced nutrition. This even distribution of nutrients helps eliminate feed sorting, reduces waste, and contributes to better milk production and weight gain. More importantly, it ensures your herd receives consistent energy, protein, and fiber levels every day, reducing digestive issues and enhancing overall animal health.
Why Penta’s TMR Mixers Stand Out
At Penta Equipment, our mixers are not just built—they’re engineered through experience. Designed by farmers and tested in the field, every Penta mixer incorporates industry-leading innovation and heavy-duty durability.
Our mixers are equipped with the patented Cyclone Auger, a unique design that accelerates material flow and ensures a fast, thorough mix. These augers are feature deep-serrated knives that easily process tough forages, long fibers, and by-products. The result? Faster mixing, reduced processing time, and a fluffier, more digestible ration.
Optional stainless steel liners are also available for enhanced cleanout and corrosion resistance—ideal for high-moisture or acidic feed.
Choosing the Right Mixer for Your Operation
Selecting the correct mixer depends on several key factors: herd size, feeding frequency, and available equipment. Penta offers a wide range of models—from compact single-auger mixers (ideal for smaller herds or tight spaces) to twin-auger and triple-auger models that deliver high capacity and rapid throughput for large commercial farms.
Need mobility? We offer trailer-mounted, truck-mounted, and stationary options to match your preferred feeding style and workflow.
Horsepower requirements also vary. Smaller mixers may require just 75–100 HP, while larger truck or triple-auger models need more robust tractors or vehicles. Full specifications are available for every model to ensure compatibility with your existing equipment.
Built for Flexibility and Performance
Penta mixers handle a diverse range of materials—from silage (wet or dry) to straw, corn stalks, DDGs, beet pulp, and more. And when it comes to unloading, you have options: front, rear, or dual conveyor discharge; flip-up or side delivery; and belt or chain systems based on barn layout or personal preference.
Support That Goes the Distance
Each mixer is backed by Penta’s trusted dealer network and a 3 to 5-year limited gearbox warranty, depending on the configuration. With certified dealers across Canada, the U.S., and global markets, parts and service are never far away.
