Biggest RMH Mixer in UK

Sussex brothers William and James Goodwin have bought the first RMH triple auger mixer for their 700 cow dairy unit. Aiming to cut down the number of mixes per day, this large machine boast:

three augers
three axles (two of which are steering)
net weight of 13.5 tonnes
overall length of 9.5 metres

This is the third RMH that William and James have used on their farm. Previously they used a four auger horizontal mixer (630) and they were also the first farmers in the UK to buy an RMH twin auger mixer (WAV26).

500 tonnes, 100 different rations a day

Richard Lloyd recently returned from a trip to Israel where some of the worldwide RMH distributors met together. There were interesting visits to farms and feeding centres as well as technical briefings at the production plant in Sderot.
Often we are questioned as to how far advanced Israel is in the dairy industry. A large proportion of individual farms run self-propelled feeders, justifying the costs through savings in labour, time, fuel and feed usage. There are many feed-lots spread throughout the country (most found on a Kibbutz) where rations are mixed and either delivered out to farms in lorries or collected from the site. The silage pits at Yitzhak are huge, as can be seen in the photos.

Richard remarked “It impresses me everytime I visit the feeding centres - there are machines everywhere working all day, but it operates smoothly and efficiently.” This year at Yitzhak they made 14,000 tonnes of silage in 9 days! Here a control tower oversees the all t h e mixing stations. There are five RMH VST40’s, twin auger extended stationary wagons. Driven by electric motors, the augers are capable of mixing a wide variety of ingredients. The mixed ration is despatched into lorries via a specially built RMH chain and slat elevator. On a typical day they mix 500 tonnes in 100 different rations. Each week they operate 24 hours per day, 6 days per week! The dairy industry and its associated feeding production plants are impressive, professional and efficient. The fact that so many of them use RMH machines is a testimony to the quality and reliability of these mixers - whether trailed, selfpropelled or stationary.
