ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a mixing paddle assembly which may be used with a variety of mixing devices, but which is especially useful with devices which include a motorized carriage adapted to move along a beam spaced above an elongate mixing vat. Depending from the carriage are a pair of shafts, and within the carriage a separate motor is adapted to move the shafts upwardly and downwardly as the carriage moves along the beam. The mixing paddles of the present invention are affixed to the end of such shafts. The improved paddle assemblies of the present invention include a pair of plastic blades mounted to a blade assembly which includes laterally extending, stationary pegs residing in arcuate slots of pivotably supported end plates, so that the blades may be freely rotated on supporting shafts to be angled differently on the forward and return passes of the paddles. The supporting shafts extend substantially normal to the axis of the respective depending shaft. The slant of the blades insures that the blades will knife down to the floor of the vat without damage to delicate process materials, such as cottage cheese curd. The other blade also participates in the mixing procedure. Movement of the paddle assembly from one operating position to another operating position is caused by a change in direction of movement of the depending shaft to which the paddle is attached.
