An apparatus for mixing and cutting animal feed including a container with a sidewall, a rotary mixing and cutting device positioned inside the container and arranged to be driven by a driving unit. At least one counter element is provided at the sidewall. The apparatus includes a positioning device for moving the counter element between a retracted position and an inserted position, and a control unit to control the positioning device of the counter element and arranged to determine an indication of the amount of instantaneous power consumed by the driving units for driving the rotary mixing and cutting device and to control positioning device based on the determined indication of the amount of instantaneous power.

A multi-axis mixing apparatus is disclosed that includes a housing and a controller operatively connected to a first motor and a second motor. The apparatus includes a frame supporting the first motor configured to selectively rotate a rotatable assembly. The rotatable assembly supports and provides an operative connection to the second motor configured to selectively rotate a rotatable sub-assembly. The rotatable sub-assembly includes a mechanism configured to receive and hold a container containing contents to be mixed, and the controller is configured to independently operate the first and second motors to mix the contents.

A kneading machine for food dough includes a rotatable kneading bowl, which includes in a bottom a central opening to discharge the food dough, and a closure at or in a vicinity of the opening in an operating position by a movable closure body, and to release the opening to discharge the food dough in a discharge position. The opening is at least partially surrounded by a scraper ring fastened to the kneading bowl and operable to cause an underside thereof to contact with the upper side of the closure body to wipe off a food dough located on the closure body when the closure body is moved from the operating position into the discharge position.

A mixing device includes a container for receiving mixing material, with an emptying opening being arranged in the bottom thereof, and a closure cover for closing the emptying opening. The mixing device includes an emptying opening that can be easily and space-savingly opened and closed. The closure cover includes two closure cover portions which can be reciprocated relative to each other between a closed position in which the two closure cover portions are in contact with each other and together form the closure cover and an opened position in which the two closure cover portions are spaced from each other so that an opening is formed between the two closure cover portions for removal of the mixing material from the container.

Mixer bucket (1) provided with a hopper (12) having a concave bottom portion (120) provided with an opening (122) arranged between a first and a second continuous portions (124)(126); a funnel-shaped member (30) being carried by the concave portion (120) so as to face the opening (122) and define a gravity discharge for mixture; the funnel-shaped member (30) being carried by the hopper (12) by means of a guide (128) aligned with the given direction (D); actuating means (40) being carried by the hopper (12) to move the funnel-shaped member (30) along the guide (128) between a first position (P1), where it faces the opening (122), and a second position (P2)(P3), lateral with respect to the opening (122) in correspondence of one of the first and second flanks (14)(16).

A feed mixer truck for mixing feed and for discharging mixed feed into an elongated feed bunk. The engine of the truck is mechanically connected to three hydraulic pumps which are hydraulically connected to a hydraulic motor for driving the drive wheels of the truck, which are hydraulically connected to a hydraulic motor for operating the feed mixer augers, and which are hydraulically connected to a hydraulic motor which operates a feed discharge assembly. A control is electrically connected to the motors to control the operation thereof.

A mobile mixing apparatus for ensuring optimal mixing of a material includes a support member which is mobile on a support surface. A mixing drum is carried by the support member. The mixing drum has a base drum end, a side drum wall extending from the base drum end, an open drum end opposite the base drum end, a drum interior extending between the base drum end and the open drum end, a central inner surface and a base inner surface on the base drum end and a side inner surface on the side drum wall and facing the drum interior. A paddle assembly is disposed for rotation in the drum interior of the mixing drum. The paddle assembly includes a plurality of paddles engaging the central inner surface, the base inner surface and the side inner surface, respectively, of the mixing drum. At least one motor drivingly engages the paddle assembly for rotation in the drum interior of the mixing drum.

The present invention relates to a mixing system comprising a vessel (1) for housing a disposable fluid mixing bag (2), which vessel (1) comprises a base (3) supporting the fluid mixing bag (2) and a sidewall (4) extending vertically upwards from the base (3). The sidewall (4) of the vessel comprises a door opening (5) which is closable by a sliding door (6). The system with the sliding door provides an easy access to the inside of the vessel (1) in a space saving manner.
