A family of heavy-duty mixers

Since 1952, Oswalt® has been defining the standards for feeding equipment. We've built our reputation as industry leaders by leading the way in TMR technology. Our experience, combined with our innovative design, enables Oswalt® to continuously offer quality-built, long-lasting TMR auger mixers to the dairy and beef industries.

D200, 250, 300 and 350 Mixing Action
The bottom augers rotate clockwise to work together moving material to the front of the mixer. The offset convergence point on bottom augers reduces torque which, lowers horsepower requirements during tough mixing demands and gently lifts the feed to the top augers. To complete the mixing process, top augers move feed to the rear creating a waterfall-effect of feed cascading to the bottom augers for a thorough mix in half the time.

D425, 500 and 575 Mixing Action
The same quality engineering that we use in our small mixers has been incorporated in the larger units. Through field-testing, we have designed the top augers to rotate in opposite directions. This design, along with having the right distance between the top augers, allows a faster mixing action and larger total load capacity.

Leading the way in TMR mixing technology!

Oswalt® mixers produce superior mix quality and have a proven track record. Oswalt® delivers a more consistent and more palatable mix, which translates to better feed conversion and better herd health. Our mixers can mix small and full batches alike and easily handle a wide variety of ingredients. With Oswalt®, you'll reap the benefit of an efficient drive design, which requires less power to mix feed. You'll save time and money by adding Tuff-Glide liners to speed material flow, decrease mixing time and increase the life of the mixing chamber. With Tuff-Glide, wear and tear is on the replaceable, low cost liners, not the structure of your mixer. Faster mixing equates to less wear on unit and lower fuel/electricity needs. What's more, when it is time to trade up for a new mixer, you'll find Oswalt® to have the highest resale value of any auger mixer on the market.

Dependable Dowel Drive
Provides superior power transfer to the augers. Plus, adds up to 80% more strength to the drive for rock-solid reliability in tough hay processing and mixing conditions.

Low Profile Design
Oswalt® mixers can be easily loaded with skid steer loaders. They fit into narrow feed ways and low overhead doorways. Oswalt® stationary models can be loaded with ease from a platform or conveyor. Standard poly extensions increase mixing capacity and the flexible design protects the mixer from bucket damage.

Hay Bar Option
Recommended on all mixers using hay, the Heavy-duty Hay Bar option (standard on Hay Saw units) helps control the flow of material and dry hay into the main auger chamber, assuring proper processing and mixing of all ingredients in as little as three minutes, depending on ration.

Long-Lasting Tuff-Glide Liners
An Oswalt® innovation for over 25 years. The low-friction, self-lubricating, Tuff-Glide mixer chamber liners reduce mixing pressures as much as 25%. Tuff-Glide is not affected by acid or moisture and it resists abrasion. Oswalt®'s mixing pattern, along with Tuff-Glide liners help feed material flow freely. This reduces horsepower requirements, virtually eliminates material hang-ups and dead spots. The result is an unmatched quality of mix, in less time, with less horsepower and less wear. The liners extend mixer life and increase the resale value of your mixer. 10-gauge Stainless Steel Liners are also available for sides and bottom.

Hay Saw

For Incorporating More Hay into Your Ration
Oswalt® mixers are superior in their ability to mix all types of ration ingredients. When equipped with the optional Hay Saw Processor you can mix more hay in your ration.* The Hay Saw is designed to act as hundreds of fingers pulling the slabs of hay apart while ration ingredients are being mixed. It is this pulling action, instead of actually cutting, which helps maintain particle length resulting in a more palatable mix.
*Refer to operator's manual for recommended methods of adding hay to mixer.

Oswalt® Mixers... Built Tough To Last!

The Oswalt® drive and power transfer systems are the "heart" of every Oswalt® Auger Mixer. Compare the simple and sturdy Oswalt® drive and power transfer system to everybody else and you will see why there is no equal!

Double-Spherical Bearings
The Oswalt® D425, 500 and 575 have industrial duty double-spherical pillow block bearings that are designed for high loads and extended life.

Dependable Dowel Drive - Patent Pending
The heavy-duty auger drive sprockets are doweled directly into the massive solid steel auger drive shaft. The entire drive system runs continuously in an enclosed oil bath for added protection and longer life. Simple chain and sprocket design is easy to maintain while providing efficient power transfer.

Quick-Couple Auger Flange
Auger tube flanges are bolted directly to the drive shaft with four hardened bolts. This dependable design allows the augers to be quickly removed without opening the rear drive doors!

Centralized Grease Bank
Conveniently located on the side of the oil bath, this important feature helps reduce maintenance time and extends equipment life.

Easy-Access Rear Door(s)
Dual entry on models 425, 500 and 575, single on models 200, 250, 300 and 350. Behind these doors lie the latest innovation in Oswalt® drive technology. Large handles and a unique cam mechanism insure a tight seal for the oil bath while enabling quick and easy inspection access to the drive system.

No Maintenance Nyloil Bearings
Sleeve-type, front, 6¾” diameter auger bearings are made from 1/2” thick Nyloil. Nyloil is a refined nylon material that is permanently impregnated with oil for superior lubrication, long life and smooth performance. These Nyloil bearings are not affected by moisture, dust or the corrosive action of feed acid.

Hydraulically Adjustable Conveyor
This convenient hydraulic feature allows the operator to easily set the proper conveyor height for feeding into a bunk, minimizing wind loss. When you are done feeding, the conveyor folds up against the side of the mixer to allow maximum transport clearance. An extended folding conveyor is also available with an added 13” in length.

Baffle Magnet Option
This option replaces the discharge chute. It bolts to the end of the conveyor and can be adjusted several ways to match feed flow and bunk requirements. The attached magnet helps trap unwanted metal.

Rugged Lever Action Door
The wide 40” discharge door on the D425, 500 and 575 units is controlled with a hydraulic cylinder mounted to the sturdy body flange. This robust lever design transfers the pulling load to the rigid body instead of the sidewall.

Heavy-duty Tires and Hubs
Massive H40 x 14.5 aircraft tires are mounted to heavy-duty hubs and axles that provide superior ground clearance and flotation for muddy conditions.
