I wasn't going for hellish... after all, it is Tux we're talking about. Maybe if it was some Windows factory...

Also since its a factory you don't need to re-key everything. Since It repeats you can make the objects jump back to there starting place in a single frame but it will look like they are moving in a continuous motion. (this wont work with motion blur turned on though) Then you can just repeat the movements of everything by copying the keys.
Wait, make it jump back to the beginning in a single frame? That implies that there's only one thing visible at a time. Making it move in a continuous stream is a little trickier than just copying the keys. For one thing, the link constraint thingy needs manual adjustment, the other machines also do, some physics need to be resimulated, etc.

BTW, I actually saw a real plastic mixer machine, so I redid my Pt 1 anim. Unfortunately, compression or something killed it on YouTube.
