2. The device according to claim 1, wherein a scraper (17) is provided in the receiving trough (1).

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the geared motor (7) is arranged on the same side of the receiving trough (1) as at least one of the first or second drives (14; 16).

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first and second drives (14; 16) can be driven independently of one another.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first and second drives (14; 16) can be driven in the same direction or in opposite directions.

6. The device according to claim 2, wherein the scraper (17) comprises a frame defined by two front frames (18, 19) and a traverse (20) connecting the two front frames.

7. The device according to claim 2, wherein the scraper (17) is connected to the hollow shaft (15) for the outer blade (8).

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein a connection between the scraper (17) and the hollow shaft (15) is detachable.

9. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a lifting/tilting device for loading the receiving trough (1) opposite the first and second drives (7; 14; 16).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) According to FIG. 1, a device according to the invention for treating products, in particular for treating meat products, has a receiving trough 1 which is arranged between a lifting/tilting device 2 and a drive/control unit 3. Two trolleys 4.1 and 4.2 for receiving the treated product are located below the receiving trough 1.

(7) The product itself is brought into the receiving trough 1 via a third trolley 4.3, whereby this trolley 4.3 is lifted by means of the lifting/tilting device 2 and tilted, as shown in FIG. 1, so that the product can fall into the receiving trough 1 through an opening 5, see in particular FIG. 4. Once the product has been filled, the receiving trough 1 can be closed by means of a lid 6.

(8) The drive/control unit 3 contains a geared motor 7, which is arranged approximately linearly with the receiving trough 1. This geared motor 7 causes the tipping of the receiving trough 1, as shown in particular in FIG. 3. However, the geared motor 7 itself is not shown there. However, the geared motor 7 has the decisive advantage that an angle w, within the range of which the receiving trough 1 can be tilted, can be selected as required. FIG. 2 shows the receiving trough 1 in tilted position, whereby a view through the opening 5 is also possible, whereby an outer blade 8 and an inner blade 9 are visible. This is illustrated in more detail in FIG. 4.

(9) In this FIG. 4 it can be seen that the inner blade 9, preferably twisted, extends between an inner beam 10 and an outer beam 11. The outer beam 11 is rotatably mounted in a rotary bearing 12, the inner beam 10 is attached to a shaft 13, which in turn is connected to a drive 14, in particular an electric engine, via a corresponding angular gear not shown in any more detail.

(10) The shaft 13 in turn passes through a hollow shaft 15, which is connected to another drive 16, also preferably an electric engine, via a corresponding angular gear.

(11) The hollow shaft 15 is assigned to the outer blade 8, which is, in the preferred embodiment drawn here, connected to the hollow shaft 15 via a scraper 17. The scraper 17 is at least partially frame-like and has an inner front frame 18 and an outer front frame 19. Both front frames 18 and 19 are connected to each other via a traverse 20 and have only partially shown scraper lips 21.

(12) The functioning of the present invention is as follows:

(13) To load the receiving trough 1, a trolley 4.3 filled with the product is moved over the receiving trough 1 by means of the lifting/tipping device 2, with the lid 6 being raised. This position of use is shown in FIG. 1. In this position of use, the product now falls from trolley 4.3 into the receiving trough 1.

(14) The product is then treated, for example by mixing or kneading. For this purpose, the inner and outer blades 8 and 9 are set in motion via the corresponding drives 14 and 16. The inner and outer blades 8 and 9 can be operated at the same or different speeds, in the same or opposite directions.

(15) As soon as the product has been sufficiently treated, the receiving trough 1 is rotated by means of the geared motor 7 to an emptying position, as indicated for example in FIG. 2. By further turning in particular the outer blade 8, possibly together with the scraper 17, the product is discharged into trolleys 4.1 and 4.2. It should be emphasized that it is conceivable that the scraper 17 could also be operated independently of the outer blade 8, in which case appropriate decoupling devices are provided.
