Mapping the Terrain The Role of Religion in Peacemaking

A high-speed continuous mixer for solids and liquids has a horizontal tubular vessel with a semi-cylindrical bottom and a mixer shaft coinciding with its axis. Multiple crescent-like flat blades are mounted on the shaft at right angles thereto and clear the semi-cylindrical bottom by a small distance. Each crescent-like blade has a tapered knife edge on its convex periphery which has a sweeping shape to provide, when rotated, a slicing action through the mass undergoing mixing while moving from the feed end to the discharge end of the tubular vessel. Remarkable high-speed production of dough for pasta and baked goods is achieved as an example of the outstanding performance of the mixer.
