Abstract: A paddle (30), a paddle rail (20), a mixer shaft (10) for a mixer (1), a mixer (1) and a method for mixing a product to be conditioned in a mixer (1). As the mixer (1) starts up, a product to be mixed is retained in a starting region of the mixer shaft (10), for instance, until the desired mixing or conditioning is achieved, so that loss-free start-up is made possible. That is to say disposal or recycling of the product when the mixer starts up becomes unnecessary.

Abstract: A pellet press having a motor with a motor housing and a rotor arranged rotatably in the housing. The rotor is a hollow shaft. A pressing mechanism has a pressing mold and pressing rolls arranged in the pressing mold. The rolls are fastened to a stationary shaft. The stationary shaft is arranged in the rotor designed as the hollow shaft. A mold holder is operationally connected to the pressing mold. The mold holder and the rotor are connected to each other by a shaft-hub connection such that a transmission of a torque of the rotor to the mold holder is ensured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pellet press (1), comprising a motor (3) having a motor housing (31) and a rotor (32) ar ranged rotatably therein, wherein the rotor (32) is designed as a hollow shaft, a pressing mechanism (2) having a pressing mold (21) and pressing rolls (22) arranged in said pressing mold (21), said rolls being fastened to a stationary shaft (4), wherein the stationary shaft (4) is arranged in the rotor (32) designed as a hollow shaft, and further comprising a mold holder (25) operatively connected to the pressing mold (21), wherein the mold holder (25) and the rotor (32) are connected to each other by means of a connecting means such that a transmission of a torque of the rotor (32) to the mold holder (25) is ensured, wherein the connecting means is a shaft-hub connection.

Abstract: An agglomerated feed includes grain particles having an average size in the range of 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm. The agglomerated particles have an average size in the range of 1.0 mm to 5.5 mm.

Abstract: A conditioner and a method are disclosed for the production of food or animal foodstuffs. The conditioner includes at least one detention element and a mixer which is located thereabove, and is provided with a dosing element. The mixer and the detention element have the same face plates enabling them to be connected to each other on at least one front side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the vertical mixing of gaseous, liquid, powdery and/or pasty products using, for example, a hollow shaft and inner shaft arranged in a housing, whereby paddle-shaped mixing tools are provided on the hollow shaft and on the inner shaft there is provided a discharge device arranged below an outlet of the mixer. The mixer is thereby completely filled in the operating state and the product and additives are pressed onto the inner wall of the housing by means of the mixing tools. The product flows continuously downwards under the force of gravity and acts against the partly backward-conveying paddles. The continuous product flow is regulated using a rotary slide valve provided at the outlet. The mixer is especially suitable as a dosing device and/or for lubricating extruder and/or expander products.

The mixer (1) is thereby completely filled in the operating state and the product (11) and additives are pressed onto the inner wall of the housing by means of the mixing tools (4). The product flows continuously downwards under the force of gravity and acts against the partly backward-conveying paddles. The continuous product flow is regulated using a rotary slide valve (9) provided at the outlet (8). The mixer (1) is especially suitable as a dosing device and/or for lubicating extruder and/or expander products.
