Product Name Feed Remixing & Pushing Robot

Product Overview The Feed Remixing & Pushing Robot is an autonomous livestock feeding-support machine designed to do more than simply move forage back toward the feed fence.

Its rotating auger lifts, loosens and remixes TMR before repositioning it within reach of the animals. This action helps reduce feed compaction and sorting while maintaining a more consistent ration structure along the feed table.

Scheduled operation allows the robot to work throughout the day and night, reducing repetitive manual feed-pushing labor and supporting continuous feed accessibility in commercial dairy and beef cattle facilities.
Key Features
  • Dual-action operation remixes and repositions feed in one pass.
  • Twin-spiral rotating auger loosens TMR instead of simply compressing it.
  • Helps maintain the structure of long forage fibers during feed repositioning.
  • Supports frequent automatic feed-pushing cycles throughout the day and night.
  • Adaptive operation can accommodate different feed types and varying feed volumes.
  • Automatic navigation follows programmed routes through livestock feed alleys.
  • Safety sensors stop the robot when people, animals or other obstacles are detected.
  • Automatic restart is possible after the travel path becomes clear.
  • Automatic charging supports unattended routine operation.
  • Optional concentrate dispensing can be integrated according to feeding requirements.
Structural Components
  • Autonomous Mobile Chassis: Battery-powered platform designed for repeated automatic operation inside cattle barns.
  • Twin-Spiral Rotating Auger: Loosens, remixes and moves feed toward the feeding fence.
  • Feed Table Scraper: Collects loose ration from the floor and directs it into the remixing zone.
  • Adaptive Drive System: Adjusts travel behavior according to feed quantity and operating conditions.
  • Navigation System: Guides the robot along predetermined feeding routes.
  • Obstacle Sensors: Detect people, cattle and physical obstructions during operation.
  • Electric Drive Motors: Provide quiet and controllable autonomous movement.
  • Rechargeable Battery System: Supplies energy for travelling, control and feed-remixing functions.
  • Automatic Charging Station: Provides scheduled battery charging between operating cycles.
  • Optional Concentrate Dispenser: Can distribute supplementary feed during selected pushing routes.
Working Principle The robot follows a programmed route beside the cattle feeding fence according to a preset daily schedule.

As it travels, the lower scraping system collects feed that has been pushed away from the animals. Instead of simply compressing the ration against the feed fence, the rotating auger lifts and remixes the material before repositioning it.

The spiral action helps fill gaps along the feed table and redistributes separated ration components while maintaining the physical structure of the forage.

Navigation and safety sensors continuously monitor the robot's operating path. When an obstruction is detected, the machine stops and can resume operation after the path is clear. After completing its scheduled route, the robot returns to the charging station.

Customization Options Feed-pushing routes and operating schedules can be configured according to feed-table length, barn layout, animal groups and daily feeding strategy.

Available project options may include concentrate dispensing, alternative charging-station placement, gate coordination, multi-building routing and farm-management integration.

Navigation configuration, charging arrangement, feed-handling settings and system interfaces are customizable according to project requirements.
Installation & Maintenance
  • Survey feed-table width, cross passages, slopes and barn routes before installation.
  • Install the navigation guidance system according to the planned operating route.
  • Position the charging station where the robot can dock safely without interfering with livestock traffic.
  • Verify obstacle sensors, emergency stops and automatic stopping functions during commissioning.
  • Inspect the rotating auger and lower scraper regularly for accumulated feed or foreign material.
  • Check drive wheels, safety components and charging contacts according to the maintenance schedule.
  • Keep sensor surfaces clean for reliable obstacle detection.
  • Monitor battery condition and charging performance routinely.
  • Update route settings when barn layouts or feeding areas are modified.
  • Disconnect and secure the robot before servicing the rotating auger or electrical components.
Product FAQ Q: How is a remixing robot different from a conventional feed pusher?
A: A conventional pusher mainly moves feed toward the fence, while an auger-type remixing robot loosens and redistributes the ration before repositioning it.

Q: What types of feed can the robot handle?
A: Suitable applications include Total Mixed Rations, silage-based diets, hay, straw, grass and other common cattle rations, subject to the selected configuration.

Q: Does remixing help reduce feed sorting?
A: Regular remixing helps redistribute ration components that separate along the feed table and can maintain a more consistent ration within reach of the cattle.

Q: Can the robot operate throughout the night?
A: Yes. Automatic schedules allow repeated operation during both daytime and nighttime periods.

Q: What happens if a cow or person blocks the robot?
A: Safety sensors are designed to stop the machine when an obstruction is detected. Operation can resume after the path becomes clear.

Q: Does the robot return to charge automatically?
A: Yes. The system is designed to return to its charging station between scheduled operating periods.

Q: Can concentrate be dispensed during feed pushing?
A: An optional concentrate-distribution system can be integrated on compatible configurations.

Q: Can it be installed in an existing cattle barn?
A: Yes. Feed-table dimensions, corridor width, slopes, navigation routes and charging-station location should be evaluated during project planning.
