Abstract: The invention relates to a stirrer, particularly for paint-stirring machines.This stirrer is provided with at least two blade elements (13), the surface of which has helicoid development, these being fixed with equilibrium of the rotation to the shaft, at least one of the blade elements being formed along a generatrix (5) in the horizontal plane including, over at least a part of its length, curvature in a spiral shape relative to a point forming a pole (I), for example on the stirring shaft.
