ABSTRACT:
A blender for mixing components to produce a liquid product has an upstanding cylindrical bowl with a rotating circular disc at the bottom thereof. The disc has a circular periphery closely adjacent the side wall of the bowl and an undersurface closely adjacent the bottom wall of the bowl. Rotation of the disc effects blending of the product components and importantly creates a centrifugal draft at the disc periphery and undersurface sufficient to prevent the liquid product to flow downwardly past the disc during blending rotation thereof while the spacing of the disc from the bowl walls is sufficient to allow the blended product to flow past the disc through a discharge port in the bottom wall of the bowl when the disc rotation is stopped. Preferably, the discharge port remains open during disc rotation to allow the draft to draw upwardly through the port, and the bottom wall of the bowl and the undersurface of the disc are inclined outwardly to enhance the upward action of the draft that prevents downward product flow. In an alternate embodiment, the uppersurface of the disc is also inclined outwardly to direct the product centrifugally upward during disc rotation.
