Agitating mechanism for grape must

摘要

An agitating mechanism for grape must, especially red wine must, is situated in a container having an arched upper cover (1). The agitating mechanism includes a vertical rotating shaft (4) and blade-shaped mixing vanes (7, 8, 10, 22, 28) which are arranged on the shaft (4) by means of rods (6, 9, 15, 15a, 16, 16a, 17, 18). These have, in their turn, at least one first section (11, 19, 23) which is inclined with respect to the direction of rotation and at least one section (12, 13, 20, 21, 25, 26) which adjoins the first section (11, 19, 23) and the approach angle of which is smaller than that of the first section (11, 19, 23). The rod (9) of the top mixing vane (10) is fastened to the shaft (4) in the immediate vicinity of the junction between the shaft (4) and the cover (1) and the arm (9) points downwards at such an angle that the second section (12), which is situated above, of the mixing vane (10) is situated in the vicinity of the top cover (1). <IMAGE>
