The main experiments were carried out in a local factory for manufacturing feed additives and concentrated in El-Obour city, Kalubia Governorate to study the effect of some operating parameters on the performance of two mixing units. Experiments were carried out using both big mixer and small mixer under four different effective Batch sizes, four different mixing times and three different carrier materials. Evaluation of the performance of the two mixers was carried out taking into consideration the mixer productivity, homogentity, coefficient of variation, energy requirements. and mixing cost. The obtained results reveal to the following: - The big mixer is recommended to be used for producing feed additives under the following conditions: : Batch size of between (1000 and 1200 kg). Mixing time of between (10 and 15 min). Carrier material: mixture of calcium carbonate and corn gluten Ratio 3:1 - The small mixer is recommended to be used for producing feed additives under the following conditions:. Batch size of between (200 and 2511 kg). Mixing time of between (40 and 60 min). Carrier material: mixture of maltodextrin and sucrose ratio 1:1.
