<p>The mixing machine comprises a mixing trough (1) comprising two parallel and axially horizontally situated mixing troughs having substantially cylindrical bottoms, vertical sides and end walls, and two agitators (2) placed parallel to each other, each in one mixing trough and comprising inclined stirring paddles, said agitators having a mutual centre-to-centre distance smaller than the diameter of the agitators. The agitators and the mixing troughs are preferably so placed that an axis through the common centres of the agitators and the mixing troughs and at right angles to the longitudinal axes thereof forms an angle of 15 DEG with the horizontal plane. The agitators (2) are operated at a synchronous speed in alternately program-controlled directions of rotation, the product in the mixing troughs thereby being forced about therein in the directions indicated by the arrows (C,D). In the bottom of the lower mixing trough, at one end thereof, a horizontally extending conveyor worm (3) is provided, which is placed at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the mixing trough and through which the mixed product is discharged from the mixing machine. <IMAGE></p> |
