Abstract
The invention relates to a mixing device for mixing a pulverulent product, which is contained in a film sachet that is soluble in liquid, with said liquid and optionally at least one additional component. The aim of the invention is to accelerate the mixing of pulverulent products, which are packed in film sachets that are soluble in liquid, with a liquid, without the risk of creating dust. This is achieved by a sealable mixing container (2) comprising a receiving chamber (7) for the pulverulent product (9) contained in the film sachet (8), the liquid and the optional additional component. The receiving chamber (7) is equipped with fitted components (6, 6′), which act mechanically on the film sachet (8).
Claims20
