A device for wetting particles, in particular wood particles, with an application agent, at least one conduit transporting a fluid as a fluid stream and an end section which forms an outlet. The fluid can be introduced in the direction of the main flow into a container containing the particles, via the outlet. The particles are in the container in a loosened state and/or can be loosened. The application agent, for spraying by a nozzle device with a speed component directed against the main flow direction, can be introduced into the fluid stream and can be guided to the particles by the fluid stream.

A pouch or package (e.g., flexible package) having a containment compartment or chamber to securely seal and to segregate fine powders or other such products from another area of the package. A powder resistant sealable filter material is included between, or extending between edges of, opposing package panels. Water, or other liquids, can be added to the product through the material as this material allows liquid to pass through it to mix with the powder, but restricts passage of the powder back through.

An apparatus and method for hydrating a particulate biomaterial with a liquid biomaterial includes a vacuum device and a valve for withdrawing a gas from the particulate biomaterial and introducing the liquid biomaterial. The valve includes a hub, a valve body, a particulate port, a vacuum port, and a liquid port. The valve body selectively moves between first and second positions. The valve body at least partially defines a first passage and a second passage. The particulate port, the vacuum port, and the liquid port are each configured to fluidly connect to a particulate container, the vacuum device, and the liquid container, respectively. In the first position, the first passage fluidly connects the vacuum port to the particulate port for withdrawing the gas from the particulate container. In the second position, the second passage fluidly connects the liquid port to the particulate port for hydrating the particulate biomaterial.

The present invention provide a polymer flocculant mixing and dissolving system and a method for mixing and dissolving a polymer flocculant that can produce a polymer flocculant solution in a short period of time using low power.

A polymer flocculant mixing and dissolving system having: a mixing tank (2) in which a solid polymer flocculant is mixed with water as a solvent; a liquid feed unit (3) for feeding an aqueous solution containing the mixed polymer flocculant from the mixing tank; a regenerative mixer (4A, 4B) that comprises a casing arranged at an intermediate position of a channel for the aqueous solution discharged from the liquid feed unit, and a bladed wheel in which grooves are formed in a radial pattern all over an outer circumference, and is used to mix and dissolve the polymer flocculant through pressure application by rotating the bladed wheel in the casing and forming a vortex flow of the aqueous solution along an inner circumferential wall of the casing, furthermore performs pressure the pressure on the discharge side of the regenerative mixer using the pressure adjusting unit.

A system for use in bone cement preparation can include a chamber for intermixing a liquid monomer and solid polymer components, a container, a vacuum channel, and a filter. The mixing chamber can be configured to hold a non-liquid, polymer powder component of a bone cement. The container can be configured to hold a liquid component of the bone cement. The system can have a first interface disposed between the mixing chamber and the container and a second interface disposed between the mixing chamber and the vacuum channel. The second interface can to receive and position the filter between the mixing chamber and the vacuum channel. The vacuum channel can direct a partial vacuum to draw the liquid component from the container into the non-liquid component in the mixing chamber to intermix the components and to thereby provide a settable bone cement.

A powder transfer bag includes a balloon or a membrane sealing its mouth. A connector to be used with the bags allows the bag to connect to a hydration device. A method of hydrating material in a powder transfer bag is provided.

A mixing chamber for mixing a variety of dry ingredients with a liquid is disclosed. The mixing chamber has an accumulation chamber that evenly distributes ingredients as they pass a liquid spray nozzle, resulting in uniform hydration. The liquid may be sprayed at a variety of pressures to achieve varying levels of granule hydration to permit the manufacture of dough, batter, or other compositions. Even dry ingredients which are generally slow to absorb moisture may be rapidly and evenly hydrated without an excess of liquid. Process parameters, such as volume flow rate of the dry ingredients, can also be varied.

A device for producing a wet granulated substance for an electrode, the device including a storage tank in which a solid component is stored, liquid supply units configured to supply a liquid component, and a stirring member configured to stir the solid component and the liquid component together. The liquid supply unit includes a nozzle configured to allow the liquid component to drop, a pump configured to repeatedly switch between a first state in which a pressure is applied to the liquid component and a second state in which a lower pressure than in the first state is applied to the liquid component, and a rotating member that is provided between the nozzle and the storage tank, has a disk shape with irregularities formed on the edge, and rotates in a non-horizontal plane.
