1. A micro puree machine comprising a transmission system, the transmission system comprising:
a drive motor operatively coupled to a first gear, the first gear rotatable about a first axis;
a mixing shaft operatively coupled to a second gear, the second gear rotatable about a second axis extending in a non-parallel direction relative to the first axis, the second axis being aligned with a central axis of a processing bowl attached to the micro puree machine; and
a position motor operatively coupled to the mixing shaft to move the mixing shaft axially along the second axis;
wherein the first gear is configured to drive the second gear to rotate the mixing shaft about the second axis; and
wherein, during axial and rotational movement of the mixing shaft, the drive motor and the position motor are configured to remain in a stationary position relative to a housing of a micro puree machine.
