Blender with Single Fill Opening and Continuous Product Discharge

A blender has a tubular mixing chamber that is provided with an interior and is arranged horizontally. A fill opening and an outlet opening communicate with the interior of the tubular mixing chamber. The fill opening and the outlet opening are spaced apart from each other in an axial direction of the tubular mixing chamber by a length distance. A rotatably driven shaft extends in the axial direction lengthwise through the interior of the tubular mixing chamber and is provided with mixing members that are projecting radially outwardly into the interior of the tubular mixing chamber. The shaft has a region without mixing members, wherein the region without mixing members is located in front of the outlet opening and adjoining the outlet opening. The region without mixing members has a length that amounts to between ⅕ of the length distance and ½ of the length distance.
