The present invention relates to a container for a stirrer used in a stirrer stirring objects through a centrifugal force. The container for the stirrer includes a container body of which the top is opened and in which a receiving space is formed, an outer lid coupled to the top of the container body, and a crushing unit including a supporting member disposed in the receiving space, and a crushing member extending outward from the supporting member and crushing and stirring the objects received in the receiving space. Thus, nanoparticle-sized objects can be rapidly crushed and stirred without agglomeration.

A centrifugal mixing device can include a shaft assembly that is operably coupled to a motor such that the motor rotates the shaft assembly about a first axis. The devices can further include a turret that is rotatably coupled to the shaft assembly such that the turret rotates about the first axis relative to the shaft assembly. The turret can include a first support, a first canister rotatably coupled to the first support such that the first canister rotates about a second axis, and a second canister rotatably coupled to the first support such that the second canister rotates about a third axis. The turret is configured to rotate about the first axis in a first rotational direction and each of the first and second canisters is configured to rotate about the second and third axes, respectively, in a second rotational direction that is opposite the first rotational direction.

An individual frozen drink dispenser includes a housing having a base configured to support a blender cup, a pod support disposed above the blender cup and configured to support a pod containing frozen ingredients suitable for preparing a frozen drink, a dispense plunger coupled to the housing and configured to move from a pre-dispense position to a dispense position in which the dispense plunger pushes the frozen ingredients from the pod into the blender cup, and a drive mechanism coupled to the housing and configured to drive the movement of the dispense plunger from the pre-dispense position to the dispense position. A method of preparing a frozen drink is further disclosed.

Organic peroxide composition that is solid at room temperature, said composition comprising (i) at least about 40 wt %—based on the weight of the entire composition—of an organic peroxide that is solid at room temperature, said organic peroxide being selected from peroxydicarbonates and diacylperoxides, and (ii) about 0.001 to about 5 wt %—based on the weight of organic peroxide in the composition—of an HCl scavenger that is solid at room temperature.

An apparatus is provided that is configured to be used with a container having contents to permit mixing of the contents of the container. The apparatus includes a main body having a geometrical shape having an open end, a closed end, and a longitudinally extending bore or opening extending from the open end to the closed end. The opening or bore is configured to receive at least a portion of a container. A shaft is generally orthogonally positioned from a portion of the closed end. The shaft is configured to be received by a rotational device. The mixing apparatus can be used to mix various sized containers containing contents having one or more materials to be mixed.

A container assembly with improved mixing dynamics for mixing substances in preparation for injection by an injection device or for the dispersion of additives in the collection and analysis of biological samples is disclosed. In one configuration, the container assembly includes a first mixing element protruding into an interior of a container. With the container rotated about its longitudinal axis, the first mixing element forms at least one vortex which effectuates mixing of a first substance provided within the container interior and a second substance provided within the container interior.

A device for cooling a slurry manufacturing mixer-comprises: a rotation container that comprises a mixing part, which mixes slurry and has a temperature detection part, and a slurry discharge part, which is formed under the mixing part and has a discharge hole for discharging the slurry; a body that is positioned under the rotation container and has a through-hole formed therethrough, through which the rotation container is inserted; and a sealing member interposed between the rotation container and the body, wherein the mixing part comprises an inner container and an outer container, and a cooling water passage is formed between the inner container and the outer container.

An agitation/defoaming device is provided, which can independently control revolving and rotational motion and can change a rotational direction relative to a revolving direction without a two-system rotary drive. The apparatus includes a rotary driving source, a braking device for rotary motions; first and second rotors revolved around revolving shaft, and first and second rotational bodies and container holders pivotally supported by the first rotor. A braking force is applied to the second rotor revolving along with the first rotor, generating a rotational motion, which is transmitted to either the first or second rotational body according to the revolving direction of the first rotor. The rotational motion is then transmitted from the first or second rotational body to the container holder through the first rotational body, thereby transmitting to the object the rotational motion according to the revolving direction while revolving the object.

A slide gate assembly includes a mounting plate with a through opening and an upper surface, and a top plate with a through opening and lower surface, wherein the through opening of the top plate aligns with the through opening of the mounting plate. A slide plate is mounted between the lower surface of the top plate and the upper surface of the mounting plate, wherein the slide plate is slidable between a closed position and an open position, wherein, in the closed position the slide plate blocks material passage from the opening of the top plate to the opening of the bottom plate, wherein, in the open position, the slide plate permits material passage from the opening of the top plate to the opening of the bottom plate

An automatic plant for preparing paints includes an automatic stock configured to contain a plurality of closed containers with different formats, an automatic process line comprising a plurality of operating stations, robotic unit movable between the various stations of the automatic process line to pick up each container in an inlet station and transfer it in succession from each station to the next station, the robotic unit having an adjustable gripping member configured for gripping containers with at least two different sizes, and a control unit configured to receive paint orders including information relating to the format of the containers and the color of the paint requested by the buyer.
