The slewing bearing plays a crucial role in the structure of a feed mixer. This type of machine is widely used in livestock farming to evenly mix various feed components. Material is introduced from the bottom feed inlet and lifted by a vertical screw conveyor. Inside the vertical mixing tank, thorough mixing takes place, and the feed is then discharged evenly.
A single-row ball slewing bearing is typically used to ensure stable and precise rotation of the mixing mechanism. It withstands axial and radial loads, as well as the overturning moment generated by the movement and mixing of heavy feed materials. The reliability of the bearing is essential for uninterrupted operation, especially under the demanding conditions of farm environments.
