Rolo's Horizontal Paddle Mixers

Rolo Horizontal Paddle Mixer

Rolo is renowned throughout Southern Africa for its unique engineering of horizontal paddle concentrate mixers. Unique in its kind and proven over decades of field testing, the Rolo paddle design remains the undisputed leader in feedlot and concentrate preparation.

Key Advantages of the Rolo Paddle Design

Unlike ribbon mixers or continuous screw systems that can crush or pulverize grains, Rolo's paddle configuration gently lifts and folds ingredients across the tub:

  • Rapid 3 to 5 Minute Mix: Achieve complete homogeneity within minutes, significantly reducing tractor hours and diesel consumption.
  • Handles High Density & Liquid Molasses: Paddle mixers are one of the few machines capable of blending heavy liquid molasses and sticky concentrates without stalling or leaving unmixed pockets.
  • Complete Discharge: The paddles sweep the curved tub floor to unload virtually 100% clean. Expensive micro-minerals and medicines will never be left behind between batches.
  • Hydraulic Discharge Auger & Door: Discharge directly into tractor-drawn feeding wagons or elevated troughs with precision hydraulic control.

Whether you require a compact 250Kg electric unit for smaller herds or a 3-ton high-output mixer for commercial feedlots, Rolo provides a reliable, locally supported solution.
