Abstract
The invention relates to a mixer bar for a stabilizer/recycler, having an attachment side that comprises an attachment surface for mounting on a drum surface, and having a tool holder receptacle. A mixer bar of this kind can be configured in wear- and strength-optimized fashion, with little production outlay, if provision is made that the mixer bar is embodied as a forged part and has a cross-sectional profile that varies at least locally transversely to the tool feed direction.
Claims41
A mixer bar for a stabilizer/recycler,
- wherein the mixer bar is embodied as a forged part and has a cross-sectional profile that varies at least locally transversely to a tool feed direction, the mixer bar having a length defined by the mounting surface, a height extending transversely to the mounting surface, and a lateral width extending transversely to both the length and the height, the lateral width being narrower than both the length and the height;
- wherein the mixer bar further includes:
- an attachment side including a mounting surface for mounting on a drum surface;
- a tool holder receptacle;
- and
- a protrusion arranged in front of the tool holder receptacle in the tool feed direction, the protrusion having a greater width, transversely to the tool feed direction, than a region adjoining behind the protrusion.
3 more elements
A mixer bar, comprising:
- a forged mixer bar body having a length extending in a tool feed direction, a height extending transverse to the length, and a lateral width extending transversely to both the tool feed direction and the height, the lateral width being narrower than the length and the height, including;
- an arcuate mounting surface configured to mount the body on a drum surface;
- a receptacle defined in the body and including a seat configured to receive a tool holder, the seat being located above the arcuate mounting surface by a distance greater than the lateral width of the mixer bar body;
- and
- a cutting protrusion located in front of the receptacle in a tool feed direction, the cutting protrusion partially defining the receptacle, the cutting protrusion being tapered in the tool feed direction to define a cutting edge.

A method of manufacturing a mixer bar, comprising:
- forging a mixer bar body having a length extending in a tool feed direction, a height extending transverse to the length, and a lateral width extending transversely to both the tool feed direction and the height, the lateral width being narrower than the length and the height, the mixer bar body including:
- an arcuate mounting surface configured to mount the body on a drum surface;
- a receptacle defined in the body and including a seat configured to receive a tool holder, the seat being located above the arcuate mounting surface by a distance greater than the lateral width of the mixer bar body;
- and
- a cutting protrusion located in front of the receptacle in a tool feed direction, the cutting protrusion partially defining the receptacle, the cutting protrusion being tapered in the tool feed direction to define a cutting edge.
