A multi-module system for applying a refractory monolithic onto an object includes a power module and a placement module, separated and distinct from the power module. The power module includes a hydraulic pump and a prime mover drivably coupled to the hydraulic pump. The placement module includes a mixer for receiving a dry refractory material and a liquid, the mixer operative to mix the dry refractory material and liquid to produce a wet monolithic, and a pump coupled to the mixer and configured to move the wet monolithic out of the mixer. A hydraulic conduit is couplable between the hydraulic pump and at least one of the mixer or the pump, whereby the at least one of the mixer or the pump is driven by hydraulic power produced by the hydraulic pump.

A dispersion device includes a stirring and mixing unit that mixes a powder with a liquid, a powder feed unit that feeds the powder to the stirring and mixing unit, and a dry gas generation unit that supplies a dry gas to the powder feed unit. The powder feed unit is sealable.

A material mixing and supplying system is provided. The material mixing and supplying system includes a feeding module, at least three mixing and supplying barrels, a supply module, and a control unit, wherein the three mixing and supplying barrels are capable of mixing and supplying the mixed material. The supplying time of the mixed material is greater than a sum of the feeding time and the mixing time. A total operation number of the at least three mixing and supplying barrels is determined by a set amount of mixed material to be supplied by the material mixing and supplying system, and a total time to finish supplying the set amount of mixed material is determined by the total operation number.

A mixing vessel comprises a top portion (12) on an inverted conical middle portion (14) and a mixing chamber (16) below the middle portion. A launder (28) surrounds the upper part of the top portion. Solution from the launder is led to a vertical pipe (46) including a motor driven impeller (42) down to the level of the mixing chamber. Two vertically spaced feed pipes (46, 48) lead from the vertical pipe to enter the mixing chamber tangentially in opposite directions.

An apparatus configured to process foodstuff materials can include an exterior tube, an inner shaft, and multiple differently shaped protrusions. The exterior tube can have a foodstuff inlet, an outlet, and a longitudinal axis, and can be configured to facilitate the conveyance of foodstuff materials along a material passage from the foodstuff inlet to the outlet. The inner shaft can be located within the exterior tube, can extend along the longitudinal axis, and can combine with the exterior tube to define the material passage. The inner shaft can be configured to be rotationally driven. The multiple differently shaped protrusions can be coupled to and extend from the inner shaft, and these differently shaped protrusions can be configured to process the foodstuff materials when the inner shaft is rotationally driven. Processing can include conveying, agitating, and/or hydrating the foodstuff materials.

An assembly for insertion into a holder of a mixer, comprising: a dispenser having an exterior surface of which at least a band is symmetric about a longitudinal axis of the dispenser; and an adapter for surrounding at least the band of the exterior surface of the dispenser. The adapter comprises a closeable shell, the shell being configured to lock the dispenser in at least a region of the band so as to impede rotational slippage of the dispenser relative to the adapter about the longitudinal axis with the shell being closed. If the assembly is then locked to / engaged with the holder of a planetary mixer, this causes the assembly to undergo superimposed revolution and rotation movements in tandem with those of the holder, resulting in a desired level of mixing being imparted to the dispenser’s contents, which may improve homogeneity and predictability of the mixing results.

The present disclosure relates to a mixer for drawing and mixing a solid product, such as a powder, with a liquid from a tank. The mixer includes a drawing wand which has a drawing tip suitable for drawing the product and a mixing vat which has a rotation shape delimited by a side wall. The discharge tip of the drawing wand leads into the top of a vat and injects the product into the vat. In one form, the mixer includes a hydraulic circuit designed to circulate the liquid between the tank and the vat. The circuit includes at least one injection duct having at least one injection nozzle that leads into the top of the vat so that the liquid from the tank flows over the side wall of the vat.

A multi-blender system for blending liquid and solid particulates together to prepare a fracturing fluid, the blender system can include a plurality of independently operable blender units each having components that can operate with either blender unit. Each component may be a modular blender component mounted to respective independent frames. The independent frames are configured to be independently removable, replaceable and movable to multiple positions in the blender system. In some aspects the multi-blender system can operate at different sand concentrations, instantaneously adjust flow rate to one or more of the components in either blender unit, provide control redundancy, and may continue to operate despite a failure of one of the major components.

A continuous ready mix joint or texture compound manufacturing system and a method for continuously manufacturing a ready mix joint or texture compound includes a continuous mixer having an inlet and an outlet, a pump disposed at the outlet of the continuous mixer, and a disperger having an inlet and an outlet. The continuous mixer is adapted to receive at least one dry ingredient and at least one wet ingredient at the inlet and continuously mix the at least one dry ingredient and the at least one wet ingredient to form a mixed composition. The pump is adapted to pump the mixed composition from the outlet of the continuous mixer to the inlet of the disperger. The disperger is adapted to receive the mixed composition and apply a shear force to the mixed composition to form a homogenized, disperged composition.

One aspect relates to a device for providing a bone cement from two starting components, having a hollow cylinder-shaped first container, in which a monomer liquid as first starting component can be stored, a hollow cylinder-shaped second container comprising a container wall, a first internal space, and a second internal space, whereby a bone cement powder as second starting component can be stored in the first internal space, and whereby the monomer liquid can be conveyed into the second internal space, a fluid-conducting conveying means arranged between the first internal space and the second internal space, whereby the first container and the second container are axially connected to each other.
