  • Patent number: 6786631
    Abstract: A mixing and reducing machine with an upward-conveying mixing spiral that rotates around a vertical rotational axle. In order to achieve a more intensive mixing of the mixed product a second mixing spiral is connected in the axial direction after a first mixing spiral, with a transition zone arranged in between. In this way, zones of different axial conveying capacity are connected after each other in the axial direction. The mixing spirals are formed of several mixing blades arranged after each other in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 6685981
    Abstract: The invention involves a process and a device for manufacturing a raw liquid confection mixture, whereby sugar containing dry components and liquid components are supplied from out of a dosing device into a mixing device. The mixing device involves a shearing mixer in which the components are stirred intensively by a rotor so that they liquefy due to the frictional heat that results in the process. In the process, only a very small water content is necessary such that dissolving the sugar-containing dry components in water, followed by the subsequent drawing off of water, as was the customary practice until now, is rendered unnecessary.

  • Patent number: 6672754
    Abstract: A device for making chewing gum with a mixer, in which gum base is kneaded and mixed with sugar and liquid components, such as glucose flavoring and/or coloring agents. Whereas this has been done until now using mixers that operate essentially in batches, now it is proposed according to the invention to use as a mixer a high-speed shearing mixer that is flowed through in the axial direction, in which many ring-shaped stator parts are arranged projecting radially to the inside on the inner wall of an essentially cylinder-shaped housing, with which the radial outside ends of circumferential mixing blades mesh to form grinding gaps. This device has the advantage that it is small, cost-effective and continuously productive.

  • Publication number: 20030043691
    Abstract: The invention involves a mixing device for mixing a base material with a liquid using a vertical feeder shaft for the base material and a mixing chamber which is arranged below the feeder shaft and into which the liquid is supplied and in which a mixing tool can be driven in rotation, whereby in the feeder shaft, a propeller rotating around a vertical axis is provided, in which blade elements extending in the radial direction are provided. In order to not cause any clogging in the feeder shaft at the propeller, it is proposed to keep individual segments blade-free all the way through over the entire height of the propeller parallel to the axis, when the propeller is rotating in the circumference direction. In this way, a homogenization of the supplied base material is also achieved.

  • Patent number: 5945150
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing chocolate includes premixing a charge of cocoa paste, sugar, and optionally powdered milk under application of heat, subsequently conveying the charge to a first grinder, and thereafter treating the resulting paste by tumbling in at least one stirring device under temperature control. In this process, removal of the volatile components as well as the reactions of the charge are conducted in a first operation, the paste is then pulverized, and after that the addition of fat and emulsifiers, and the dispersion and the liquefaction of the paste are implemented in a further operation.
