The present disclosure is directed to a blending system including a blending mechanism, wherein said blending mechanism comprises a mixing chamber including at least a submersible motor, at least a high shear mixer, at least an impeller and at least a multistage retention time cup.

A paint container holder for use in a paint mixer, the paint container holder capable of receiving a paint container with a square, tapered square or cylindrical shape.

A heat exchange module for use in a chemical, pharmaceutical or biological reactor system includes a generally hollow body having an interior space for receiving a replaceable or single use reactant container, and at least one thermally conductive surface adapted to contact the replaceable reactant container to facilitate heat transfer, a fluid circulation path formed within the body between an outer wall of the body and an inner wall of the body through which a heat exchange fluid can be circulated, and at least one baffle protruding from the inner wall of the body into the interior space.

A slurry injection system includes low and high pressure clear fluid manifolds. Low pressure clear fluid is pressurized and communicated to high pressure manifold. A blender unit communicates slurry through a sensor system that generates a flow rate signal and a density signal of the low pressure slurry. The slurry pressurizer is in fluid communication with the high pressure clear fluid manifold through a bypass pump, a mixer, the blender unit and the low pressure clear fluid manifold. The slurry pressurizer forms high pressure slurry that is communicated to the mixer and communicates fluid to the low pressure clear fluid manifold. The mixer mixes the high pressure slurry and high pressure clear fluid from the high pressure clear fluid manifold to form a mixture that is communicated to a slurry injection site. A controller controls the bypass pump using the flow rate and density to control a density of slurry.

A mixing and delivery system includes a compressible tube and a mixing apparatus. The compressible tube includes a reservoir configured for mixing and holding a surgical substance, an inlet portion for accommodating introduction of an element of the surgical substance into the compressible tube, and an exit port for enabling the delivery of the surgical substance to a target portion of an anatomy. The mixing apparatus is configured to be received through the inlet portion of the compressible tube for mixing elements of the surgical substance to form the surgical substance.

A device for mixing a bone material with a liquid is provided. The device comprises a chamber having a proximal end and a distal end, and the bone material disposed within the chamber, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of milled and lyophilized demineralized bone fibers; and a plunger having at least a portion slidably disposed within the proximal end of the chamber and configured to dispense the bone material mixed with liquid from the distal end of the chamber, when the plunger is in an extended position.

A mixing machine (1) for the mixing of a homogeneous mixture with one or more components to obtain a viscous mixture, comprising a mixing chamber (2) which is divided in a push (A), a mixing (B) and a discharge zone (C), and wherein the mixing chamber (2) comprises the following parts: multiple walls, consisting of one or more top plates (22) with multiple inflow channels (10, 11, 12), one or more bottom plates (24) and multiple side walls (6); an outlet mouth (18); an outlet valve (13); several rotors (5); in and out sliding push and/or mixing blades (3, 4); and a self-cleaning system (16, 17); characterised in that the rotors (5) are integrated in the side walls (6) of the mixing chamber (2); the rotors are equipped with transit channels (30) for the in and out sliding push or mixing blades (3, 4); and the self-cleaning system comprises a cleaning plate (16) and a driving mechanism (17) wherein the cleaning plate (16) can move longitudinally through the mixing chamber (2).

A laboratory device (4, 9), in particular a magnetic stirrer, comprises at least one adjustable operating parameter for controlling at least one laboratory device function, and an outer housing (2). The outer housing (2) has a coupling device (11a, 11b) for coupling the laboratory device (4, 9) to at least one further laboratory device (5, 9) for the same at least one laboratory device function, at which further laboratory device the at least one operating parameter can also be adjusted, and the coupling device (11a, 11b) is configured such that by means of the coupling device (11a, 11b) the laboratory device (4, 9) and the at least one further laboratory device (5, 9) can be operated simultaneously and by means of a common adjustment device the at least one operating parameter can be adjusted in a central manner independently and/or consistently for the laboratory device (4, 9) and the at least one further laboratory device (5, 9).

Methods for handling bulk material in a manner that reduces dust, noise, and emissions are provided. The presently disclosed techniques use portable containers to transfer bulk material from a transportation unit to a blender inlet. The containers may be carried to the location on the transportation unit, where a hoisting mechanism is used to remove the container from the transportation unit and place it in a desired location. When bulk material is needed at the blender inlet, the hoisting mechanism may position the container of bulk material onto an elevated support structure. Once on the support structure, the container may be opened to release bulk material to a gravity feed outlet, which routes the bulk material from the container directly into the blender inlet. The disclosed containerized bulk material transfer system and method allows for reduced dust, noise, and emissions on location.

A mixing apparatus includes a mixer configured to mix a material including a rubber or a resin in the presence of a working fluid that is in a supercritical state or a subcritical state. The mixer includes a chamber that forms a flow passage for the working fluid and the material, and a mixing blade disposed in the chamber and fixed to the chamber.
