Imetec is the market leader of TMR complete feed horizontal mixers in China, occupying a market share of 25-30% and ranking first among domestic horizontal mixer manufacturers. The company offers a full line of stationary and trailed models with volumes from 3 to 48 cubic meters. Thanks to advanced technologies and thoughtful design, Imetec equipment comprehensively improves the economic efficiency of farms and becomes the main technology for the modernization of livestock complexes.

Saving labor resources with immediate effect
Traditional manual feed preparation requires 3-5 workers to cut grass, mix, turn and distribute feed - a labor-intensive and inefficient process. The Imetec horizontal mixer allowsperform all operations by one person. Equipped with a hydraulic unloading system at the touch of a button and intelligent weighing, it completely changes the classic feeding mode.
On a large farm with 12 thousand head of cattle in Shandong province, the operation of four Imetec mixers allows all feeding work to be completed in 1-2 hours a day. Compared to the manual method, the staff is reduced by 12–16 people, and personnel costs are reduced by 70%. On medium and small farms, the 9 m³ model replaces two permanent workers. With an annual salary of 60 thousand yuan per employee, savings on personnel per year exceed 120 thousand yuan.

Precise mixing increases feed utilization by more than 15%
The main advantage of Imetec mixers isthree-dimensional mixing system with two augers. One main auger cuts the feed with toothed blades, two auxiliary augers move the material. Provides circular mixing without dead spots with uniformity greater than 95%, significantly higher than industry standards.
The blades are made of 65MN manganese steel, the body and bottom of the machine are made of durable Q345B steel. The equipment qualitatively crushes and mixes high-fiber feed: silage, alfalfa, grain waste. The uniform composition of the feed eliminates selective eating by livestock, feed losses are reduced by 10–15%, and the absorption rate increases by 15–20%. Dairy farms report a reduction in daily feed consumption per cow by 0.8 kg, which allows a large farm of 10 thousand heads to save more than 2 million yuan annually.

Increased livestock productivity and increased profits
A balanced TMR diet is the basis for increasing the efficiency of livestock breeding. The Imetec intelligent precision weighing system with an error of no more than ±1% guarantees precise compliance with nutritional proportions. The cattle are fed regularly, and feed digestibility improves.
On dairy farms, milk yield increases by 5–8%, fat content and protein levels increase, which increases the purchase price of raw milk. When breeding beef cattle and sheep, daily weight gain accelerates, the fattening period is reduced by 10–15 days, which allows you to sell products earlier and receive additional profit. A balanced diet improves livestock health, reduces the incidence of gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases, reduces veterinary costs and reduces culling rates.

Energy saving and durability, optimization of operating costs over the entire service life
Imetec horizontal mixers are equipped with imported gearboxes and reliable axles, the equipment service life exceeds 12 years, and the breakdown rate is significantly lower than the industry average. Frequency-controlled electric motors save up to 25% of electricity compared to conventional analogues. Trailed models effectively use tractor power and reduce fuel consumption.
The modular design of wear parts reduces annual maintenance costs by 20% compared to similar products. The arched shape of the bottom minimizes feed residues in the hopper. 57 equipment models are included in the government's farm equipment subsidy program, which reduces the initial investment for farms.
Versatility of use and short payback period
The model range includes stationary options for centralized feeding at complexes and trailed ones for mobile work. Equipment volumes from 3 to 48 m³ are suitable for farms of any size. Practice shows: a farm of 1000 heads saves 270–370 thousand yuan annually, the payback period of investments does not exceed 1.5 years; a large farm of 10 thousand heads saves more than 1.5 million yuan per year and pays for itself in less than a year.
Imetec works closely with leading dairies such as Ili and Mennu, and the brand's equipment is installed on more than 60% of large standardized farms. Thanks to innovations in technology, Imetec horizontal mixers solve the problems of reducing costs, saving feed and increasing productivity, becoming an indispensable equipment for modernizing livestock farms.
