Abstract

A grinding mixer includes a casing supported on a base, an auger stirrer projected into the casing and driven to rotate on its own axis by a motor through a reducing gear set, a toothed disk having downward teeth along its circular peripheral edge in mesh with the reducing gear set, wherein rotating the motor causes the auger stirrer to revolve on its own axis, and simultaneously causes the reducing gear to carry the auger stirrer along the circular peripheral edge of the toothed disk so as to mix materials well. The auger stirrer has a unitary grinding plate on the bottom for grinding materials to powder as it is rotated to mix materials. A scraper blade is carried by the reducing gear to scrape the inside surface of the casing as the auger stirrer is rotated to grind and mix materials.

Claims

1. A grinding mixer comprising a casing supported on a base, a scraper blade, an auger stirrer projected into said casing and driven to rotate on its own axis by a motor through a reducing gear set for grinding and mixing materials, wherein said casing includes a toothed disk having a plurality of downward teeth around a circle in mesh with said reducing gear set so as to drive said auger stirrer about its axis while rubbing said scraper blade against the inside surface of said casing as said auger stirrer is rotated by said reducing gear set.

2. The grinding mixer according to claim 1 wherein said auger stirrer has a pre-cast grinding element on a bottom edge thereof rotated to rub against an embossed stainless steel plate on said base in grinding materials to powder.

3. The grinding mixer according to claim 1 wherein said base comprises a container to carry finished materials, and a hand wheel to lift a pressure plate in said container in squeezing finished materials out of an output port on said base.
