A handheld apparatus for mixing food product comprising a manual input and a drive structure comprising a drive input, wherein the manual input is operatively connected to the drive input to actuate the drive means, the drive means further comprising first and second drive outputs operatively coupled to the drive input and being arranged to simultaneously rotate the first drive output in a first direction and rotate the second drive output in a second direction and rotate both drive outputs in the second direction about the central axis of the apparatus, such that the number of revolutions completed by the first drive output is less than the number of revolutions completed by the second drive output each time the drive outputs complete a revolution about the central axis.

A mixer for combining food constituents into a homogeneous mass includes an eccentric drive mounted on a mixing head of the mixer, where the eccentric drive is configured to rotate around a central axis of a mixing area and rotate an offset rotational axis of a drive shaft in an orbit about the central axis of the mixing area. An angled beater attachment for the mixer further includes a top mounting portion operably coupled to the drive shaft of the stand mixer, a bottom beater portion disposed above the mixing area, and a beater support member operably coupled with a support shaft of the bottom beater portion. The bottom beater portion is driven by the drive shaft about an angled rotational axis that extends at an acute angle relative to the central axis of the mixing area.

A fertilizer grinding mechanism, a water and fertilizer mixing device, and an aqueous fertilizer solution preparation production line. A fertilizer receiving body, where an edge is provided with a arranged first channel; a connecting body, fixed to a bottom of the fertilizer receiving body and provided with a second channel with the first channel, a bottom of the second channel is communicated with a buffer bin, a pushing block is arranged in the buffer bin, and the pushing block is connected with a drive mechanism for driving the block to move in direction of the body; and an inner grinding block, where the block is fixed to a bottom of the connecting body, an outer side of the inner grinding block is with a vertically movable grinding roller, the pushing block can push fertilizer under vertical movement of the roller. The grinding mechanism has a heat dissipation effect.

An implement attachment holder for a hand mixer includes a body defining opposed first and second surfaces and first and second mounting projections coupled with the body and extending away from the first surface of the body at respective first and second locations spaced apart at a first distance along a first direction. The attachment holder further includes a device retention projection extending away from the second surface of the body and partially along the first surface to at least partially overlie the first and second locations from which the first and second mounting projections extend. The device retention projection further defines at least three attachment channels extending in a second direction normal to the first direction at spaced-apart locations along the device retention projection.

A small, non-powered, handheld and finger-manipulated mixing device adapted for stirring or mixing liquids or liquid/solid combinations in relatively small volume containers. The mixing device has an elongated rod-like main body with an agitation member disposed on its distal end. The main body is provided with a bounded shaft segment that is bounded proximally and distally by transition shoulders of greater diameter than the bounded shaft segment, thus providing a region to receive the thumb and finger of the user to spin the main body, with the transition shoulders preventing excessive movement in the axial direction during rotation.

A stirring unit of a machine for making liquid or semi-liquid food products, including: a first base element rotatable about a first axis and having a plurality of first mixing vanes and a plurality of scraping appendages connected to the mixing vanes; a first actuator, connected to the base element to set it in rotation about the first axis, a second base element rotatable about a second axis and having a second mixing vane; a processing container forming a processing chamber for processing a base product and in which the first base element and the second base element are mounted; a second actuator, connected to the second base element to rotate it, the first base element and the second base element being configured to rotate independently of each other and the first actuator and the second actuator being configured to be activated independently of each other.

An attachment for use with a food processing system is provided. The attachment includes a container body having a sidewall, a first end configured to be mounted to a food processing base, and a second end remote from the first end. The first end being open and the second end being partially closed. The attachment further includes a first agitating member including one or more blades. The first agitating member is receivable at the first end. The attachment also includes a second agitating member receivable at the second end including a fluid agitator. The fluid agitator is configured to direct a fluid to one or more regions of the container body.

A mixing paddle for mixing dough and for cutting and mixing dense ingredients such as butter and shortening into dry ingredients such as flour has roughened cutting blades oriented at many angles. Some blades are attached between a central blade support shaft and a symmetrical rim. The blades may have roughed cutting edges to increase variety in fat chunk size and to improve mixing.

An electric mixer can include a motor, an interchangeable paddle assembly, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate attaches to the top of a cooking vessel and includes a pair of clamping plates adapted to span a diameter of various size cooking vessels. The motor is attached to the mounting plate and is operably connected to the paddle assembly providing power to rotate the paddle and stir the contents of the cooking vessel.
