The problem of providing a stirrer capable of more effectively shearing a fluid to be treated is addressed, by using the action of an intermittent jet stream. A stirrer is provided with a rotor having a blade and a screen, which are relatively rotated such that the fluid to be treated is discharged from the inside of the screen to the outside as an intermittent jet stream through a slit in the screen, the stirrer satisfying condition 1 and condition 2. (Condition 1) the relationship among the width b in the rotating direction of a tip part of the blade, the width s in the circumferential direction of the slit, and the width t in the circumferential direction of the screen member is b2s+t. (Condition 2) the relationship between the width b in the rotating direction of the tip part of the blade and the maximum inner diameter c of the screen is b0.1c.

A device (10) for treating a portion of soil comprises a rotary shaft (20), at least one deployable mixer tool (40) secured to the rotary shaft (20), and a longitudinal pipe (22) for injecting a fluid in the proximity of the mixer tool (40). According to the invention, the treatment device (10) further includes a boring tool (24) situated at the bottom end of the shaft (20), an outer tubular element (30) extending parallel to the rotary shaft (20), the rotary shaft (20) being arranged inside said tubular element (30), and a coupling system (50) between the rotary shaft (20) and the tubular element (30). In a first configuration, the coupling system (50) is suitable for constraining the tubular element (30) and the rotary shaft (20) to move together in rotation about the main axis (X), in at least one direction of rotation, and for constraining the tubular element (30) and the rotary shaft (20) to move together in translation along the main axis (X), at least in the downstream direction. These movements in rotation and translation can be released in a second configuration of the coupling system (50).

In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for managing bulk material efficiently at a well site are provided. The disclosure is directed to a container support frame that is integrated into a blender unit. The support frame is used to receive one or more portable containers of bulk material, and the blender unit may include a gravity feed outlet for outputting bulk material from the containers directly into a mixer of the blender unit. The blender unit with integrated support frame may eliminate the need for any subsequent mechanical conveyance of the bulk material (e.g., via a separate mechanical conveying system or on-blender sand screws) from the containers to the mixer. As such, the integrated blender unit may be lighter weight, take up less space, and have a lower cost and complexity than existing blenders.
