Abstract
Five fins located on a second arm engage the farinaceous material during mixing and the angled surface of each fin directs the farinaceous material in an axial direction towards the housing of the rotor, and also in a direction extending between the surface of the arm and the adjacent parallel surface of the container. The fins also cause the farinaceous material to be moved in the same two directions, with the exception that the dough is directed away from the housing of the rotor towards the central region.
Claims11
A method of mixing farinaceous material using a mixing implement in a container having a wall comprising
- rotating said mixing implement about an axis to cause farinaceous material located between said mixing implement and a portion of said wall of said container located on a radius passing through said implement to move in a first direction and a second direction,
- said first direction being transverse to the direction of movement of said implement at that location and transverse to the extent between said implement and said portion of said wall, said material moving in said first direction from one axial end of said implement towards and axial region located intermediate the ends of said implement, and
- said second direction being transverse to the direction of movement of said implement at that location and transverse to the extent between said implement and said portion of said wall, said material moving in said second direction from the other axial end of said implement towards said axial region located intermediate the ends of said implement.
A method of mixing farinaceous material using a mixing implement in a container having a wall comprising:
- rotating said mixing implement about an axis to cause farinaceous material at two axially spaced first and second locations located between said mixing implement and a portion of said wall of said container located on a radius passing through said implement to move in a first direction at said first location and a second direction at said second location;
- the movement at said first location in said first direction being transverse to the direction of movement of said implement at that location and transverse to the extent between said implement and said portion of said wall, said material moving in said first direction in the general direction extending from one axial end of said implement towards an axial region located intermediate the ends of said implement;
- said wall extending from said first location in an outwards direction with respect to the rotational axis of said implement in the general direction from said one end of said implement towards said other end of said implement;
- the movement at said second location in said second direction being transverse to the direction of movement of said implement at that location and transverse to the extent between said implement and said portion of said wall, said material moving in said second direction in the general direction extending from the other axial end of said implement towards said axial region located intermediate the ends of said implement;
- said wall extending from said second location in an outwards direction with respect to the rotational axis of said implement in the general direction from said other axial end of said implement towards said one end of said implement.
