A device for mixing and/or kneading food products, the device comprising:
- a container having an inlet, an outlet, and at least one rotary shaft extending substantially in a longitudinal direction of the container;
- the at least one rotary shaft includes at least one tool, the at least one tool including at least one bar connected to the at least one rotary shaft via spacers, and the at least one rotary shaft further including an operative area to continuously mix and/or knead the food products, the operative area extending in a longitudinal direction of the at least one rotary shaft, and
- wherein the inlet and the outlet extend in the longitudinal direction over the operative area of the at least one rotary shaft which operative area extends between the inlet and the outlet.
A method for mixing and/or kneading food products in a container, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a container having an inlet, an outlet, and a rotary shaft fitted with a tool for the mixing and/or kneading of the food products;
- supplying the food products via the inlet to the rotary shaft
- transporting the food products substantially in a vertical direction from the inlet to the outlet under influence of the force of gravity, and during which transport the food products are mixed and/or kneaded in an operative area of the rotary shift between the inlet and the outlet.
