Abstract: A food mixer (1) with a container (3) with side walls (3a) and a bottom (3) is described. The food mixer (1) contains a mixing screw (5) rotating about an axis (5?) extending essentially perpendicularly to the bottom (3b). A support surface (7d) is assigned to the mixing screw and strokes over the bottom (3b) with a leading edge (7a), a flow guiding body (8, 108, 208, 308, 408) projecting upwards from the support surface (7d). To improve and facilitate in a constructionally simple manner a measuring out process, it is suggested to provide the flow guiding body (8, 108, 208, 308, 408) with a guiding surface (10, 210, 310) essentially facing radially outwards which is provided with a point (9) directed to the leading edge (7a) and resting on the support surface (7d) and extends with an increasing height (h) above the support surface (7d) backwards in the sense of rotation (D).

Abstract: A mixer (1) is described, in particular a feed mixer, has a mixing chamber (3), which is provided with a discharge opening (6) for the mix. A mixing screw (7), driven about a vertical rotating axis (7a), is accommodated in the mixing chamber (3). Furthermore, a rotary driven device (10) is provided for the smoothing of the discharge of the mix at the lower section of the mixing screw (7), and that moves across the discharge opening (6). To further smooth the discharge of the mix, a device (10) has a guide plate (11) with a surface (11a) on which the mix deposits to increase the action of the centrifugal force on the mix.

Abstract: Described is a feed mixer comprising a mixing container for receiving feed, at least one mixing tool rotatingly arranged in the mixing container, a drive mechanism for driving the mixing tool, an automatically shiftable transmission which is connected to the drive mechanism and has a low shifting stage for a first speed and at least one higher shifting stage for a second speed, the second speed being higher than the first speed, a control mechanism for shifting the transmission, a mechanism for detecting the weight of the feed to be mixed, and a mechanism for comparing the detected weight with a predetermined limit value for at least the higher shifting stage, which is connected to the control mechanism such that a driving of the mixing tool via the higher shifting stage is only possible if the detected weight does not exceed the limit weight.

Abstract: A mixer wagon includes a mixing chamber having a bottom, a fill opening larger than the bottom, and a wall. A work tool is provided in the mixing chamber for sweeping over a work area on the bottom. The wall is provided at its side with a flattening defined by curved portions, the flattening having assigned thereto a discharge opening which is closable by a slide. The flattening encloses with the mixing chamber bottom a first inclination angle that is smaller than a second inclination angle enclosed by the curved portion with the bottom. A comfortable lateral discharge of the fodder is combined with a thorough mixing by providing that in the vicinity of the bottom the slide and the curved portion of the wall on the discharge opening follows the shape of the circumference of the work area, and the opening and closing path P extend at an angle that is substantially equal to or larger than the larger inclination angle.

Abstract: A fodder mixing wagon including a fodder mixing container equipped with at least one vertical auger above the bottom region, and including an undercarriage having a chassis and ground wheels, is provided with an active adjusting system for adjusting the fodder distribution within the mixing container in at least two opposed directions being substantially parallel to the bottom region, the adjusting system being equipped with at least one sensor arrangement for detecting either the actual fodder weight distribution within and/or the inclination of the mixing container. The adjusting system allows to actuate actuators for adjustable counter blades provided in the mixing container and/or mixing container/slanting devices, respectively.

Abstract: A drive device (9, 29, 39, 49, 59), in particular for a mixing tool (5) of a food mixer (1), is described, which comprises a gear having an input shaft (11), an output shaft (12), gear members for driving the output shaft (12) with a low and at least one higher speed as well as a shifting device (19, 34, 57, 60) for shifting between the speeds. In order to design such a drive device in a structural simple manner, such that peak powers in the starting step are handled, it is proposed that for a starting operation, a starting step (A) with a low speed is designed, wherein the starting step contains an overrunning clutch (16) via which a gear member (14) can be connected in the starting step with the input and output shafts (11, 12) with transmission of motion, and which can be released at the higher speed.

Abstract: A mixer which has a mixing chamber which can be filled from above and which has a wall, a bottom and at least two rotating, drivable mixing tools arranged inside the mixing chamber, each covering an operating circle (A) projected on the bottom. In a gusset regions between the two operating circles (A), a guide device is provided that leaves a transfer opening. Dead corners are avoided by having the wall at the transition to the bottom follow the curve of the respective operating circle (A) through into the gusset region between the two operating circles (A), so that the wall itself, without or with an extension, forms the respective guide device.

The cutting implement consists of lower and upper parts interconnected by a horizontal pivot axis. The lower part has a loading plane connected by an angled section to a rear frame structure. The upper part has a separation plane connected to a rear frame by an angled section. Hydraulic cylinders are arranged between the upper and lower parts at the side of the pivot axis facing to the loading plane and the separation plane. Both angled sections define in closed condition of the cutting implement the largest interior width of the cutting implement. The hydraulic cylinders are situated at the outer side of the lower and upper parts. The linkage points for the hydraulic cylinders are provided in the angled sections. The fully retracted hydraulic cylinders are of a length substantially corresponding to the largest interior width.

Abstract: A vertical mixing device for fodder includes a mixing chamber comprising at least two adjacent vertical augers provided in longitudinal direction of the mixing chamber one behind the other at the bottom and between essentially upright walls. Both vertical augers can be driven with the same sense of rotation in order to convey the fodder upwardly. In the wedge areas between the rotational courses of both vertical augers distributor cones are situated at the walls. The surface of each distributor cone comprises guiding surfaces extending with differing steepness from a bottom sided base situated within one wedge area to a tip positioned at least close to the wall. Each distributor cone is inclined obliquely towards one of the vertical augers the sense of rotation of which is directed towards this distributor cone.
