The invention relates to a method and a colloidal mixer for colloidal processing of a slurry, in particular processing of construction materials, with a colloidal mixer, in which at least one liquid is introduced into a mixing trough, at the lower region of which is arranged an outlet opening with a mixing device having a mixing rotor, which is driven in rotation.

According to the invention, the at least one pulverulent solid component is introduced into the mixing trough, the at least one liquid mixed with the at least one pulverulent solid component is induced to flow by the rotatingly driven mixing rotor and is discharged from the mixing trough through the outlet opening, wherein the mixture is led back again for a certain time via a backflow line into an upper region of the mixing trough for further mixing and, after a desired mixing state has been attained, the mixture is discharged as a finished slurry from the outlet opening by means of a discharge line.

According to the invention, it is provided that air is incorporated into the at least one liquid and/or the mixture in a targeted manner in a finely dispersed form, wherein a relative density of the liquid, or of the mixture, is reduced.

A re-mixing dispenser for containing and dispensing a liquid. The dispenser may have one or more tubes, each containing a different liquid. At least one of the liquids may be re-mixed in situ, using a special two-piece plunger and plunger rod. A mixing piece of the two-piece plunger is moveable independently of a top piece and has blades that allow it to move through the liquid. A plunger rod is removably attached to the mixing piece and is operable to move the mixing piece up and down within the tube during mixing. The two plunger pieces are joined and moved as a single plunger during dispensing.

A printer includes a first cartridge holder including a first insertion port in which a first ink cartridge housing a first ink pack charged with a sedimentation ink is inserted and which is open horizontally, the first cartridge holder housing the inserted first ink cartridge, a first shaft pivotably supporting the first cartridge holder, a first driving mechanism that causes the first cartridge holder to pivot about the first shaft, and a controller that controls the first driving mechanism. The controller includes a first controller that controls the first driving mechanism to cause the first cartridge holder to pivot and agitate the sedimentation ink contained in the first ink pack.

An apparatus, system, and method to maintain a suspended state of particles in an ink, liquid, or paste. The system includes one or more cartridge caddies to hold cartridges containing the particles in the ink, liquid, or pastes therein, and a drive roller and support roller configuration operable to rotatingly support the one or more cartridge caddies at predetermined speeds. Each caddy includes a shaft and at least two plates disposed on the shaft, each plate including one or more corresponding sockets configured to hold the cartridge therebetween.

A system and an associated method for starting up stirring machines in a sediment in a controlled manner are provided, which system has the following: a container for receiving materials to be processed; a stirring device with stirring blades for stirring the materials to be processed in the container; a purging device; and a device for operating stirring machines. The purging device is arranged in such a way and set up so as to feed a medium for purging to a deposited sediment. Furthermore, a controller is provided which initiates controlled re-starting of stirring machines after purging.

According to the invention, it is provided that air is incorporated into the at least one liquid and/or the mixture in a targeted manner in a finely dispersed form, wherein a relative density of the liquid, or of the mixture, is reduced.

A system and method of micro dosing containers on a conveying system is disclosed. The system includes a mixing tank to maintain suspended solids in a mixture; a dosing assembly to inject micro-doses of the mixture into bottles; a recirculation assembly to circulate the mixture from the supply tank to the dosing assembly and back to the supply tank; a power and controls operation assembly to supply the system with power, to provide the system with electromechanical control and/or to provide a user interface; and a stand to hold at least the supply tank, the portable dosing assembly, the recirculation assembly and/or the power and/or controls operation assembly.

A drive mechanism for transposition and stirring by single disc single motor includes a rotating transposition disc, wherein the transposition disc is a single-layer transposition disc, at least one gear set in which a gear ring is engaged with a planetary gear is arranged successively from inside to outside with the rotating shaft of the single-layer transposition disc as the center, the gear ring of each gear set is fixed on a rack, and the planetary gear engaged with the gear ring is rotationally installed on the transposition disc to serve as a driving gear of a stirring shaft of a color matching paint bucket. By adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the structure is reasonable, the parts and components of the color mixing machine are reduced without reducing and decreasing the functions of the color mixing machine.

A pulsed gas mixing apparatus is provided. The pulsed gas mixing apparatus may include a mixing plate having a top side that is substantially smooth, and a bottom side that includes a plurality of ribs. The pulsed gas mixing apparatus may also include a supply tube configured to be coupled to the mixing plate and supply a mixing gas that is used to mix the contents a container in which the pulsed gas mixing apparatus is installed.

A liquid stirrer includes a removable first liquid container to contain a liquid; a second liquid container having a capacity less than that of the first liquid container; a fluid path between the first liquid container and the second liquid container; a reversible pump disposed on the fluid path; a sensor to detect an amount of the liquid inside the second liquid container, in which the liquid reciprocally moves between the first liquid container and the second liquid container; and a controller to control the reversible pump, based on readings from the sensor, such that a moving amount of the liquid does not exceed the capacity of the second liquid container and that the second container does not go empty.
