Abstract: An apparatus for processing material, such as a biomass or fodder for cattle, comprises a container having a bottom and an upright wall, and at least one mixing element comprising an upright column and a mixing blade attached to the column. A front edge of the mixing element at least is proximate to the bottom of the container. The mixing element with its column is rotatably mounted in the container and can be coupled to a drive unit. The mixing blade comprises an element which is rotatably supported on a carrier that is fixed to the column. A part of the circumferential edge of the rotatable element may form the front edge and the part of the outer edge of the mixing blade that joins said front edge.

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).

Abstract: An apparatus for bending metal sheet comprises a frame (1), a stationary lower beam (2) with a lower clamp (5) and a movable upper beam (3) with an upper clamp (6). The clamps each have a clamping face for clamping a metal sheet in a working position. The apparatus further comprises a lower bending beam (13) and/or an upper bending beam (14) for bending upwardly or downwardly, respectively, a clamped metal sheet. At both sides the bending beam(s) is/are supported in the frame rotatably around an axis and independent of the upper and/or lower beam. The body of the lower or upper bending beam (13, 14) in a working starting position extends substantially perpendicular to the clamping face and the lower and upper clamps (5, 6) determine in cross-section in the working position a V-shape, the apex of which is directed towards the axis (15, 16) of the bending beam being in the working position.
