shoe mixer
Explanation:
Here is a document (see first page of ref.) where the caption "mélangeur à sabots" has been sort of blurred out and replaced by "shoe mixer", but was this just another desperate translator who couldn't find a better term? I've never heard of a "shoe mixer" before...

agree  Claire Chapman: Without more info, it is probably best to use the translation found in an advertisement of the company's product as the best translation.

Horse-shoe mixer


Explanation:
or agitator / blender etc.

Supposing the 'sabot' refers to a horse's hoof - hence the shoe attached. Does get a few ghits.
e.g. http://www.teja.pl/en/strona6.php?l=3

And also supposing it is a synonym of 'agitateur à ancres'.
