Abstract (en)

A mixer (1) comprises a vessel (2) having a base portion (3) and an upper portion (4) whose interiors have an axis (S) rotational symmetry, and arms (7) each carrying a plurality of blades (6) which are rotatable about an axis (R) so that edges (9) of the blades (6) sweep across the interior surface of at least the vessel base potion (3), characterised in that said blades (6) are loosely mounted on said arms (7) so that the blades (6) are freely movable in relation to the arms with sufficient freedom of movement about each of three orthogonal axes that their sweeping edges (9) can maintain contact with said interior surface as they sweep across it, and in that the blades (6) are spaced apart along each arm (7) and staggered as between one arm and the next thereby to allow sweeping of substantially the full extent of the interior surface of the base portion (3) of the mixing vessel (2).
