Feed workshop "Optima"

The professional Optima feed mill from the leading Ukrainian manufacturer TechnoMashStroy is a high-efficiency modular mini feed production plant. The equipment is designed for rapid pneumatic loading, fine or coarse grinding of cereals and legumes, oilcake, meal, hay, and straw, as well as for their thorough and uniform mixing with vitamin complexes, minerals, premixes, protein-vitamin-mineral supplements (PVMS), and liquid additives. The line enables the production of high-quality, fully balanced mash feed according to any livestock ration formula directly on your farm premises.

Optima Feed Mill Model Range: Tailored Solutions for Every Farm

The engineering department of TechnoMashStroy designed the Optima series to meet the demands of both small family farms and large livestock complexes. Depending on your herd size and targeted feed output, you can select the optimal configuration tailored by mixer capacity and crusher throughput.

Optima-1000 Feed Mill and the Optima-1000 MAX Modification

The base Optima-1000 line is engineered around an industrial horizontal feed mixer with an effective capacity of 1,000 liters (a single batch load of up to 500–600 kg of dry raw materials) and a heavy-duty crusher. It is perfectly suited for farms with a daily feed requirement of 1 to 5 tons. For enterprises aiming for a continuous technological cycle, the Optima-1000 MAX version was engineered. This complex is equipped with two Vykhor-1000 feed mixers simultaneously. While one vessel is undergoing the mixing or discharge cycle, the second mixer seamlessly receives a new batch of milled grain. This doubles the actual output of the line and eliminates crusher downtime.

Optima-2000 Feed Mill and the Flagship Optima-2000 MAX

The Optima-2000 series is designed for intensive pig farms, cattle breeding complexes, and poultry operations. The mixer hopper features a working capacity of 2,000 liters, allowing the preparation of up to 1,000–1,200 kg of balanced formula feed per single batch. The flagship Optima-2000 MAX complex is equipped with two Vykhor-2000 feed mixers and is capable of producing up to 3–4 tons of homogeneous feed mix per hour, ensuring rapid and uninterrupted feeding routines even for large agricultural holdings.

Key Components and Operational Principles of the Complex

The Optima series feed mill features exceptional structural balancing across all mechanical assemblies. Each module is built for continuous, reliable operation under harsh conditions of high dust levels and steady production loads. The line includes the following core elements:

• Raw Material Grinding Unit: The line is paired with pneumatic hammer mills of the CHOPPER series (or double-crusher CHOPPER DUO setups), Kraft hammer grain crushers, as well as universal DR-500 and DR-1000 shredders. The pneumatic intake system picks up grain via a flexible suction hose directly from heaps or trailers at distances of up to 10 meters. A built-in stone and metal separator shields the rotor from damage, while interchangeable sieves with various hole diameters allow precise adjustment of the grinding texture for specific livestock age groups.
• Vykhor Series Horizontal Feed Mixer: The primary functional core of the line. Unlike vertical auger mixers, the horizontal mixer is equipped with a heavy-duty counter-spiral ribbon rotor that displaces the feed mass in three dimensions simultaneously. This design eliminates dead zones, prevents the breakage of delicate feed additives, and guarantees a mixing uniformity of 96–98% within just 3–6 minutes. The mixer is also fitted with dedicated injection nozzles for introducing liquid components (vegetable oils, phosphatide concentrates, molasses, liquid vitamins).
• Electronic Batching and Weighing System: The mixer frame rests on high-precision strain gauge load cells wired to an electronic weight controller. The operator monitors the exact weight of each recipe ingredient on a digital display in real time. Acoustic and visual indicators prevent batching errors during ration formulation.
• Discharge Screw Conveyor: Precision augers and discharge screw conveyors ensure smooth, damage-free transfer of the finished feed mix into big bags, standard sacks, or storage silos for direct dispensing or subsequent pelleting.
• Centralized Control Cabinet: The automated electrical control system incorporates soft starters and motor thermal protection units, ensuring operator safety, safeguarding the power grid from surges, and extending the operating life of all drive units.

Major Advantages of Optima Feed Mills for Commercial Farming

Integrating an on-farm Optima feed mill delivers tangible financial returns within the very first month of operation. Key advantages of the complex include:

1. High Mixing Homogeneity (Up to 98%): Horizontal multidirectional mixing guarantees uniform dispersion of even microscopic additives (premixes, acidifiers, veterinary supplements), which make up as little as 0.5–1% of the total ration. Animals receive an equal proportion of nutrients in every single bite.
2. Reduction of Feed Costs by 30–45%: By manufacturing compound feed from your own harvest or grain bought at wholesale prices, you cut out third-party vendor margins, retail bagging costs, and logistics markups. The line pays for itself in just 3 to 8 months.
3. Total Ration Flexibility: You can quickly adapt ingredient formulations to specific technological groups — pre-starters for young stock, grower, finisher, and targeted rations for lactating sows or dairy cows.
4. Minimal Manual Labor: Thanks to the pneumatic grain intake and automated discharge system, only 1–2 operators are needed to manage the entire processing cycle.
5. Direct Compatibility with Pelleting Systems: The Optima feed mill can be seamlessly integrated into a feed pelleting line by connecting Grand or Pelletnik pellet mills, enabling the production of premium pelleted feed for internal herds or commercial resale.

Which Animals and Poultry Is Optima Feed Suited For?

Thanks to quick-change screens and delicate, non-degrading horizontal mixing, the feed mill prepares balanced diets across all sectors of livestock and poultry farming:

• For Pigs and Piglets: Fine milling of grain components combined with thorough blending of protein and vitamin concentrates ensures high feed digestibility and accelerated daily weight gain.
• For Dairy and Beef Cattle: The ability to chop roughage (hay, straw), crush grain, incorporate meals, and inject liquid energy supplements boosts milk yield and improves overall butterfat content.
• For Broilers, Laying Hens, Turkeys, Ducks, and Quails: Calibrated crumble particle size avoids beak impaction in poultry and maximizes flock viability and egg-laying productivity.
• For Rabbits, Goats, Sheep, and Horses: Blending ground grass meal, oats, barley, and mineral supplements creates a balanced, dust-free nutritional base.
