The subject of this application is a sequencing manifold for the purpose of supplying control and supply services of pre-determined temporal sequences to fluid processing assemblies. The functioning of this sequencing manifold requires that translation be applied to the sequencing ports. Actuator mechanisms may supply such translation as either continuous motion or as a series of stepwise motions. Actuator mechanism can be obtained that rely on only mechanical means without the need for a source of electricity. With such actuators, it becomes feasible to conduct the operations of fluid processing assemblies in remote and primitive locations that lack a source of electricity. One skilled in the mechanical arts can provide various actuator mechanisms to meet these requirements.

The figures included below with the description of attributes are intended to convey an understanding of the mechanical principles underpinning the operation of the sequencing manifold. For reasons of clarity, the figures depict configurations involving apparently geometrically flat plates rather than more complex configurations involving cylinders or circular discs. The omission of configurations involving cylinder or discs from the figures included with this application is not meant to be limiting in any manner.

A mixing system for use in a process bottle for mixing its contents, the mixing system including a low volume magnetically-driven mixer mounted at the bottom of the bottle. The mixer may have vanes and lower grooves, or no vanes and grooves on both upper and lower faces. The mixer has a microsized three-dimensional solid inanimate body to enable insertion through relatively small mouth openings at the top of conventional reactor bottles. Methods of assembly are also disclosed which involve passing the microsized mixer through an open mouth of a process bottle and coupling the mixer with a bearing assembly at the floor of the bottle. The bearing assembly includes fixtures sealed around a hole in the floor of the bottle.

An agitator assembly includes an agitator body, a shaft and a blocking part. The shaft is assembled to the agitator body and extends through a lead-through in the agitator body into the vessel, when assembled for use, and includes a sealing to seal the rotatable shaft. The blocking part arranged at the agitator body and including a shaft opening through which the shaft is arranged to extend, a mating surface to mate with the shaft which, when brought together by axial movement of the blocking part, provides a seal between the blocking part and the shaft, and the mating surface arranged at an axial distance from the sealing in the lead-through, and when brought together by the axial movement of the blocking part, provides a seal between the blocking part and the agitator body, and that the blocking part provides a closed space around the lead-through in the agitator body.

A hydrolysis apparatus for organic waste using a hydraulic crushing effect includes: a housing having an open top surface and an inner lodging space; a reaction tank being lodged in the inner lodging space of the housing and having an open top surface and an inner space for accommodating a defined liquid chemical; a heating section connected to a bottom surface of the reaction tank and integrated into the reaction tank; and a driving means for moving the housing to put the housing in a linear reciprocating motion. The present invention has an effect to greatly reduce the physical crushing time and the dissolution time using a liquid chemical in the hydrolysis of animal carcass and other organic wastes, such as food waste, sewage/waste water sludge, animal/plant residue, and so forth, thereby increasing the work efficiency and reducing the cost.

A mixing system includes a container having a support plate and a mixing assembly supported on the support plate. The mixing assembly includes a pliable enclosure containing a fluid and a mixing device. A portion of the mixing device extends from the pliable enclosure and is adapted to be detachably coupled to a drive mechanism. A first plate is detachably secured to the rigid container. The pliable enclosure is disposed between the first plate and the support plate. A mixing arrangement includes a docking station having a drive cradle and a drive mechanism. The mixing system is removably positioned within the drive cradle so that the drive mechanism is removably coupled to the mixing device.

A mixing machine includes a mixing head and at least one connection means for connecting a mixing container containing material to be mixed to said mixing head for forming a closed mixing container. The mixing head, as part of a pivotable assembly, is pivotably mounted with respect to a frame such that the closed mixing container formed from the mixing head and the mixing container can be pivoted relative to the frame for performing the mixing process. The mixing head carries at least one rotationally-driven mixing tool. The mixing head comprises a head plate having a connecting flange molded thereon which is configured as an annular disc and comprises a planar contact surface. At least two ring seals of differing diameters are arranged in said contact surface of the connecting flange at a spacing between each other, such that mixing containers with different connection diameters of their mixing head side can be connected to said mixing head. The at least one connection means is configured for gripping mixing containers which differ in the diameter of their connection sides.
