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.
