A machine used for making liquid or semi-liquid food products, specifically ice cream, comprises a container for processing liquid or semi-liquid base products by means of a stirring device driven by a motor. The stirring device comprises an external mixing structure to which a shaft is fixed so that the motor can drive it in rotation. Keyed to the shaft are scraping elements which scrape the product off the inside walls of the processing container.

An extruder screw for plasticizing at least one plastic or plastic mixture, including a melting zone, a shaft zone and a mixing zone arranged between the melting zone and the shaft zone, wherein a conveying flight is formed in the melting zone and in the shaft zone, which extends helically along a longitudinal axis of the screw, wherein a conveying flight of the melting zone ends at an end of the melting zone towards the mixing zone and a conveying flight of the shaft zone begins at an end towards the mixing zone. A flight depth of the melting zone continuously decreases along the longitudinal axis of the screw to the mixing zone. Further, an extrusion device having the extruder screw and to a method for plasticizing at least one plastic or plastic mixture.

A distribution and leveling system for a particulate material storage compartment includes an auger configured to be disposed within the particulate material storage compartment. The auger is configured to move particulate material across the particulate material storage compartment via rotation of the auger about a first rotational axis. The distribution and leveling system also includes an agitator positioned below the auger. The agitator is configured to agitate the particulate material via rotation of the agitator about a second rotational axis. In addition, the first rotational axis is substantially parallel to the second rotational axis, rotation of the auger and rotation of the agitator are independently controllable, and the first rotational axis and the second rotational axis are substantially aligned with one another along a longitudinal axis of the particulate material storage compartment.
