A fluidized bed mixer for combining a first powder with a second powder for manufacturing a magnet and a method of using the fluidized bed mixer for making the magnet. The first powder material is an alloy powder containing neodymium (Nd), iron (Fe), and boron (B), and the second powder material is an alloy powder or elemental metal powder containing one or more of dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb). The fluidized bed mixer includes a fluidized bed portion in an upper portion of a mixing chamber, a cascading baffle system beneath the fluidized bed portion, and combined powder collection area beneath the cascading baffle system. The fluidized bed mixer is configured to homogenously combine a first powder material with a second powder material in such a way that particles of the second powder material adheres to and covers the outer surfaces of the particles of the first powder material.

A system for preparing a polymeric mixture includes: a containment device configured to distribute dry polymeric materials; a receiving chamber in fluid communication with the containment device; a wetting bowl; a dispersing channel; and a mixing chamber connected to the dispersing channel. A method of preparing a polymeric mixture includes distributing water and dry polymeric materials through the various components of the system and mixing the materials with the mechanical mixing device.

A mixer structure includes a helical fluid passage includes a first partition and a second partition. The first partition extends intersecting with a cross-sectional center line of the passage, and divides the helical passage into first sub-passages in parallel. The second partition is disposed downstream of the first partition, extends intersecting with the cross-sectional center line, and divides the helical passage into second sub-passages in parallel. A rear or downstream end of the first partition and a front or upstream end of the second partition intersect with each other or are at skew position.

A biological production system includes a mixing vessel and an agitation device. The mixing vessel includes an outer housing, an internal mixing structure, and a reaction chamber. The mixing vessel is configured to provide low shear agitation to materials in the reaction chamber in response to force from the agitation device.

Fermenter for producing a shear-thinning medium comprising a tank volume and a stirring arrangement having an improved distribution capacity or a more uniform shear stress.

A food preparation apparatus is presented that has fast-stop capability. It includes a base unit, a mixing container attached to the base unit, a mixing tool configured to extend into and move within the mixing container, and a motor within the base unit. The motor is configured to provide a torque to the mixing tool. A control unit within the base unit is connected to the motor. A contact sensor is connected to the control unit, and the control unit is configured to stop rotation of the motor when the contact sensor detects a touch of a human hand. In some cases, contact with the mixing tool stops the motor, and in other cases, contact with an outer surface or user interface of the base unit stops the motor.

A food mixing machine appliance is presented for mixing ingredients. The machine has a base unit that can rest on a horizontal surface, a motor positioned in the base unit, a bowl attached to the base unit, and a mixing tool positioned in the bowl. The bowl has a longitudinal axis that extends at an angle that is non-parallel relative to a gravitational direction while the base unit is resting on the horizontal surface, and the mixing tool is operably connected to the motor to receive a torque from the motor and to move within the bowl to mix contents of the bowl. The non-parallel longitudinal axis of the bowl may improve mixing quality and may allow the mixer to better mix small amounts of ingredients in the bowl.

An appliance for processing food including a vessel with walls that defines chamber in which foods to be processed are received, and a working part arranged in the chamber, which can be driven to process the foods, wherein the chamber defined by the walls has a form which is substantially a spherical segment at least in part, wherein the spherical segment form surrounds the working part.

The invention relates to a container (10) for accommodating a fluid, in particular a mixing container, comprising: a wall (12, 14, 16) which defines a space (22) for accommodating the fluid and has an enamel coating on a surface facing the fluid, and an insert element (46, 66) which is arranged in the accommodating space, the insert element having an enamel coating on an outer surface facing the fluid, and the insert element being fastened to a floor portion (16) of the wall by means of an integrally bonded connection (48).

Disclosed is a mixing device (1) for mixing a first component (2) with a second component (3) for providing a foamed or foamable plastic (5), comprising a mixing chamber (11), a stirrer (30) that is arranged in the mixing chamber (11) and can be rotated about an axis of rotation (31), a first inlet opening (13) for the supply of the first component (2) into the mixing chamber (11), a second inlet opening (14) for the supply of the second component (3) into the mixing chamber (11), wherein the first inlet opening (13) has an axial spacing from the second inlet opening (14), and an outlet opening (16) for the exit of the plastic (5) from the mixing chamber (11).
