The agitator hub 52 is provided to receive a stirring shaft 48 in at least one operating condition. The agitator hub 52 is provided to attach the agitator device 10 axially to the agitator shaft 48. An orientation of the stirring shaft 48 defines an axis of rotation 20 of the stirring device 10. The stirring blades 14 are arranged on the stirring blade carrier 12 in the illustrated mounted state such that an active surface 40 of the stirring blades 14 is aligned perpendicular to a plane of rotation 42 of the stirring blade carrier 12.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Ausführung eines Rührblatts 14a. Das Rührblatt 14a weist ein Schaufelelement 26a und einen Befestigungsfortsatz 28a auf, welcher einstückig mit dem Schaufelelement 26a ausgebildet ist. Figur 3 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des Rührblattträgers 12a mit einem montierten Rührblatt 14a in einer Draufsicht. Der Rührblattträger 12a weist in dem dargestellten Ausschnitt eine Ausnehmung 16a auf, welche dazu vorgesehen ist, das Rührblatt 14a teilweise aufzunehmen. Die Ausnehmung 16a weist dabei einen Teilbereich 18a auf, welcher parallel zu der Drehachse 20a des Rührblattträgers 12a betrachtet durchgängig ausgebildet ist. Der Rührblattträger 12a weist eine Anzahl von identischen Ausnehmungen 16a auf, welche einer Anzahl von zu montierenden Rührblättern 14a entspricht. Figur 4 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung entlang der Schnittlinie III-III. Der Rührblattträger 12a weist in dieser Ausführung zwei zueinander korrespondierende scheibenförmige Trägerelemente 22a, 24a auf, welche dazu vorgesehen sind, in einem montierten Zustand den Befestigungsfortsatz 28a der Rührblätter 14a zwischen den Trägerelementen 22a, 24a aufzunehmen. Dazu bilden die Trägerelemente 22a, 24a einen zu dem Befestigungsfortsatz 28a korrespondierenden Bereich 56a aus, in welchem der Befestigungsfortsatz 28a in einem montierten Zustand kraftschlüssig und formschlüssig fixiert ist. Während der Befestigungsfortsatz 28a zwischen den scheibenförmigen Trägerelementen 22a, 24a angeordnet ist, ragt das Schaufelelement 26a beidseitig über den Rührblattträger 12a hinaus. In dem montierten Zustand sind die Trägerelemente 22a, 24a mittels Befestigungsmitteln 58a miteinander verbunden. Bei gelösten Befestigungsmitteln 58a sind die Rührblätter 14a von dem Rührblattträger 12a entfernbar, wodurch die Rührblätter 14a lösbar mit dem Rührblattträger 12a verbunden sind. Dies ermöglicht, beispielsweise im Verschleißfall, einen einfachen Austausch von einzelnen oder allen Rührblättern 14a. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a stirring blade 14a. The stirring blade 14a has a blade element 26a and a fastening extension 28a, which is in one piece formed with the blade element 26a. FIG. 3 shows a section of the Rührblattträgers 12a with a mounted stirring blade 14a in a plan view. The stirring blade carrier 12a has in the illustrated cutout a recess 16a, which is intended to partially receive the stirring blade 14a. The recess 16a in this case has a partial region 18a, which is designed to be continuous parallel to the axis of rotation 20a of the stirring blade carrier 12a. The stirring blade carrier 12a has a number of identical recesses 16a, which corresponds to a number of stirring blades 14a to be mounted. FIG. 4 shows a sectional view along the section line III-III. In this embodiment, the stirring blade carrier 12a has two disc-shaped carrier elements 22a, 24a which correspond to one another and which are provided to receive the attachment extension 28a of the stirring blades 14a between the carrier elements 22a, 24a in an assembled state. For this purpose, the carrier elements 22a, 24a form a region 56a which corresponds to the attachment extension 28a and in which the attachment extension 28a is fixed non-positively and positively in an assembled state. While the attachment extension 28a is arranged between the disc-shaped support elements 22a, 24a, the blade element 26a projects beyond the stirring blade carrier 12a on both sides. In the mounted state, the support elements 22a, 24a are connected to one another by means of fastening means 58a. With fasteners 58a loosened, the stirring blades 14a are removable from the stirring blade carrier 12a, whereby the stirring blades 14a are detachably connected to the stirring blade carrier 12a. This allows, for example in case of wear, a simple exchange of individual or all stirring blades 14a.

Die Rührblätter 14a und der Rührblattträger 12a sind derart ausgestaltet, dass in einem montierten Zustand Kraftflüsse 60a von den Rührblättern 14a in die Befestigungsfortsätze 28a der Rührblätter 14a stets, insbesondere während eines Rührbetriebs, senkrecht verlaufen. So kann erreicht werden, dass die Rührblätter 14a insbesondere während eines Rührbetriebs eine Druckbelastung erfahren, während Zugbelastungen zumindest weitgehenden vermieden werden.The stirring blades 14a and the stirring blade carrier 12a are designed in such a way that, in an assembled state, force flows 60a always run vertically from the stirring blades 14a into the fastening extensions 28a of the stirring blades 14a, in particular during a stirring operation. Thus, it can be achieved that the stirring blades 14a experience a compressive load, in particular during a stirring operation, while tensile loads are at least largely avoided.
