Abstract

The invention relates to a mixer for mixing mixing material at high temperatures of for example 300° C. to 600° C., as well as to a method for operating the mixer. It is an object of the invention to provide a mixer that can comprise a plurality of feeding members which are capable of following the movements of the mixer even at high temperatures. For achieving the object, the mixer comprises such installation means that an area of the mixing container is or can be fixed relative to the ground surface, said area can be provided on both sides with feeding members. Because a horizontal mixer can be fixed only at one front face in the case of a mixer according to the prior art, feeding members can only be connected with the mixing container from a side adjacent to the end wall. If, however, a horizontal mixer is configured such that one area, which is located between two front faces of a mixing container, is or can be fixed relative to the ground surface, then feeding members can be connected with the mixing container on both sides of this area. During operation, the mixer is heated to temperatures of at least 300° C.
