Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007037693A2] An apparatus for processing feed for cattle comprises a container having a bottom and an upstanding wall and at least one mixing element, which is rotatably mounted in the container about a shaft that extends upwards from the bottom thereof, and which can be coupled to a drive unit. The mixing element comprises an upper part and a lower part, whilst means are provided for rendering the lower part of the mixing element inoperative. As a result, it is possible to put one part of the mixing element of the apparatus into operation, so that only the part that has been put into operation will be operative for reducing the bale or bales, and the mixing element need not lift the entire weight of the bale/bales. Thus, a relatively low power level will suffice. Once the bale/bales have been reduced, both parts of the mixing element are put into operation and the entire contents of the container are mixed within a short period of time.
