Bill Callaghan discusses the benefits of the Continental Rollo-Mixer® batch mixer and showcases Continental's mixing, blending and coating technology. Continental recently brought a 5 cu ft Rollo-Mixer to Watt Ag in Rockford, IL. Those attending the demonstration saw the mix action through Plexiglas panels on the back of the mixer. Making it easy to see how our mixer gently folds, divides and combines the ingredients in 2-3 minutes.
