Abstract

The device is intended for the production of a flowable mass (5), in particular a filler-containing casting resin, from starting components. It is provided with a container (1, 4) holding the mass while forming a fluid level (10, 75), where agitation elements (8, 17, 18, 21) are arranged below the fluid level in said container. A pass-through mixer (70) is located in an inlet (7) of the container (1). The pass-through mixer (70) comprises a premixing containing (71) provided with mixing elements (721, 722, 723) and is used to mix the starting components. The premixing container (71) is provided below the level (10, 75) of the flowable mass with one each inlet (73) and outlet opening (74) for the flowable mass (5). Because of the combined action of a free jet generated by the pass-through mixer (70) at the outlet opening (74) and the agitation elements (8) provided in the container, a flowable mass that is particularly well mixed and—if desired—is also intensively degassed can be produced in a space- and energy-saving manner. In addition, no expensive differential scales are required.
