  • Patent number: 8083395
    Abstract: A device for admixing a liquid into flowable dry materials has a housing with a mixing chamber having an inner wall with an impact area and an exit opening at a bottom end of the mixing chamber. Dry material is supplied from above into the mixing chamber and falls downwardly toward the impact area in front of the inner wall of the mixing chamber and exits through the exit opening. A nozzle generates a pressurized high-speed jet of a liquid impacting on the inner wall of the mixing chamber in the impact area and wetting the dry material with the liquid as the jet passes through the dry material and impacts against the inner wall. An opening inside the housing is provided for supplying liquid and pasty additives, wherein the opening is directed toward an area of the mixing chamber between the nozzle and the impact area.

  • Patent number: 5498074
    Abstract: A machine for kneading dough includes a rotating, driven tub with a flat bottom and a cylindrical tub wall and two kneading tools which engage the tub eccentrically from above and which are rotated in opposite directions, synchronously about axes that are parallel to the axis of the tub and lie in a common plane with the axis. The kneading tools consist of two hoops which have two longitudinal legs which are disposed symmetrically to their axes of rotation, in each case are connected at their ends facing the bottom of the tub by a cross leg, are fastened at their upper ends at a supporting hub and pass through cylindrical working areas which overlap one another regionally, the longitudinal legs being twisted helically relative to the direction of rotation of the hoop formed thereby. The angles of rotation of the cross legs of the hoops are mutually offset.
