Abstract
A helical blade body attachable to a food mixer by a shaft, the helical blade body formed from at least three helical blade members each of which has a first end connecting with a cap portion and a second end connecting with a base portion for creating a mixing zone within the helical blade body, each of the helical blade members having a spiraled configuration and extending from the cap portion to the base portion, wherein each of the helical blade members have the spiral angled in the same rotational direction, and wherein each of the helical blade members comprises a leading edge and a trailing edge with an upward facing spiraled flat surface in between with a predefined width and thickness so that during rotation of the blade body in a select rotational direction the spiraled flat surface will urge product being mixed upward, and wherein each helical blade is formed integrally with the cap portion and the base portion of a high strength plastic material. The unique shape of the helical beater described herein not only achieves higher mixing performance but also power efficiency. By using high strength plastics instead of metal, the improved helical beater design described herei…
