Abstract: A mixing assembly and a mixing device configured to mix a bakery, pastry or cosmetic preparation includes a mixing tank configured to receive ingredients intended to be mixed to form the preparation; a first mixing tool configured to be immersed at least partially in the mixing tank and configured to mix the ingredients and/or the preparation. The first mixing tool is configured to be driven in rotation around a first axis of rotation. A second mixing tool is configured to be immersed at least partially in the mixing tank and configured to mix the ingredients and/or the preparation, the second mixing tool being configured to be driven in rotation around a second axis of rotation. The first and second axes of rotation are substantially coaxial.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a kneading member (107) for a device for kneading a dough, comprising: —a mounting disc (109); —a kneading tool (111) for mixing the ingredients which constitute a dough, comprising: —an upper portion (121), extending from said mounting disc, —a mid-portion (123), in the extension of said upper portion, and —a lower portion (125), in the extension of said mid-portion. The kneading member (107) according to the invention is noteworthy in that the kneading tool (111) consists of a circular helix, the angle of winding of which is non-constant between said upper, mid- and lower portions of the tool (111) and in that the angle of winding of the lower portion (125) is less than that of the mid-portion (123). The invention also relates to a kneading device fitted with such a kneading member.

Abstract: A blender device including a rotor designed to engage with a motor device to be rotated; and an annular ring enclosing the rotor and having at least one axial orifice and a plurality of radial orifices for the passage of the blend. The blender also includes an admission duct for admitting particles intended to be incorporated into the blend, leading into the interior of the annular ring. The blender also effectively dispenses particles in a blend by introducing the particles with a high flow and decreasing product losses.

Abstract: A mixing device having at least one rotor supporting mixing blades that is also capable of being rotated. The device further includes an annular ring surrounding the rotor and having at least one axial opening and radial mixing openings associated with the mixing blades so as to allow the passage of the mixture therethrough. At least one particle-conveying line leads to the inside of said ring. The annular ring has a recirculation stage placed between the conveying line and the radial mixing openings and further includes at least two axially consecutive rows of radial openings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mixing device (100), including: at least one rotor (101) supporting mixing blades (101a) and being capable of being rotated; all annular ring (103) surrounding the rotor and having at least one axial opening (103a) and radial mixing openings (103b) associated with the mixing blades so as to allow the passage of the mixture therethrough; at least one particle-conveying line (104) leading to the inside of said ring, characterized in that the annular ring has a recirculation stage (105) placed between the conveying line and the radial mixing openings, said recirculation stage including at least two axially consecutive rows of radial openings (105a).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gearbox for a mixer-blender including a planet wheel (5), a planet carrier (7) comprising a body defining an enclosure, at least one planet gear (6) provided with external teeth and pivotably mounted on the planet carrier (7), said planet gear (6) meshing with the planet wheel (5), and characterised in that the body of the planet carrier (7) is shaped so as to engage with a driving member such that said driving member rotates the planet carrier (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to a blender device comprising: a rotor (2) designed to engage with motor means (4) in order to be rotated; and an annular ring (5) enclosing the rotor (2) and having at least one axial orifice and a plurality of radial orifices (6) for the passage of the blend; and an admission duct (7) for admitting particles intended to be incorporated into the blend, leading into the interior of said annular ring (5). The invention also relates to a blender assembly equipped with such a device and a process for producing an emulsion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for continuously mixing ingredients of a flour-and-water-based food dough comprising two mixing tools rotatably mounted one above the other about an axis of rotation, wherein the top tools is embodied in the form of a helix extending in a substantially perpendicular direction to said axis of rotation in such a way that the ingredient mixture is produced, the lower tool comprises at least one radial arm provided with a leading surface inclined with respect to the axis of rotation and an enclosure is provided with a mixed dough discharge opening which is arranged in the peripheral side part of a mixing space and in front of the lower tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of kneading dough in order to produce bread or similar products. According to the invention, the dough ingredients are introduced into a chamber and all of said ingredients are subsequently kneaded. The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises: a vacuum phase during which a vacuum is applied in the chamber; and one or more phases involving the introduction of gas, during which a gas containing oxygen is introduced into the chamber. The aforementioned vacuum phase continues more or less throughout the entire kneading phase, with at least one part of each introduction phase taking place simultaneously with the kneading phase. The invention also relates to a device that is used to carry out said method.
