Provided in one embodiment is a method of making, comprising: exposing a raw material having a first viscosity to a first pressure and a first temperature such that the raw material after the exposure has a second viscosity, wherein the raw material comprises particles comprising at least one electrically conductive material, and wherein the second viscosity is sufficiently low for the raw material to be adapted for a hydrodynamic cavitation process; and subjecting the raw material having the second viscosity to the hydrodynamic cavitation process to make a product material having a third viscosity. Apparatus employed to apply the method and the exemplary compositions made in accordance with the method are also provided.

A system that provides for simultaneous thermal regulation of both components of a two-component system, while maintaining their separation prior to introduction into a conventional static mixer element, in order to assure that the mixed fluid, when dispensed, is at the optimal temperature and viscosity. The thermal capacity can be adjusted by altering the configuration to increase or decrease the thermal transfer area as required for each specific application.

An apparatus and method for mixing fluids with degradational properties are disclosed herein. The present system has been devised to safely and accurately dilute, heat and deliver a degradable fluid while simultaneously removing extraneous vapor, adding capability to monitor the temperature and capability to monitor the concentration of the diluted fluid.

A receiving device for forming a mixing machine, when the receiving device is inserted into a manufacturing apparatus, includes: a first receiving location configured to receive a first capsule containing a first formulation, a second receiving location configured to receive a second capsule containing a second formulation, the two capsules configured to be fluidly linked to each other, a first actuation face of the receiving device, authorizing a transfer of a pressure force on the first capsule, the first actuation face having a first protective shell, a second actuation face of the receiving device, opposite to the first face, authorizing a transfer of a pressure force on the second capsule, the second actuation face having a second protective shell, and a flap opening outwardly of the receiving device and extending between the two receiving locations, to authorize insertion of the capsules separately and extraction of the capsules jointly.

A system for opening and closing a mixing manifold includes a drive motor, a cam plate, and a valving rod connector. The drive motor imparts movement in first and second directions. Movement imparted in the first direction causes the cam plate to move linearly in a third direction and movement imparted in the second direction causes the cam plate to move linearly in a fourth direction. Movement of the cam plate in the third direction causes the valving rod connector to move linearly in a fifth direction and movement of the cam plate in the fourth direction causes the valving rod connector to move linearly in a sixth direction. Movement of the valving rod connector in the fifth direction causes retraction of a valving rod of the mixing manifold and movement of the valving rod connector in the sixth direction causes extension of the valving rod.

A device for making of a multi-components product material. The device includes a processing and homogenizing chamber for primary particle components. The chamber includes at least two sets of rotary shovels, which rotate in parallel in a mutually counter-rotating, homogenizing mode, inlet(s) into the chamber for at least one secondary component in a fluid state and/or fine particulate material state, which interacts with the primary components while they are moved around in the chamber by sets of the shovels, and an outlet in the chamber to allow the primary and secondary components to leave the chamber as the multi-component product material.

A mixing apparatus, puncturing mechanism, and cartridge are disclosed. The mixing apparatus has a housing and a drawer with a recess. Corresponding cartridges may be inserted into the drawer and slid into the housing to facilitate mixing a liquid with contents of the cartridge. The liquid may originate from a reservoir in the mixing apparatus or a direct line. Also inside the housing of the mixing apparatus is the puncturing mechanism. The puncturing mechanism has a nozzle configured to puncture a lid of a cartridge and inject liquid to mix with the contents of the cartridge. The puncturing mechanism is further configured to drive an internal puncturing unit inside of the cartridge through a lower portion of the cartridge to allow liquid from the nozzle and contents of the cartridge to be dispensed into a receptacle.

The invention relates to a method for preparing emulsions.

In order to create a new method for preparing emulsions, in which homogenous oil droplets as small as possible can be generated with an energy input as low as possible, it is proposed in the scope of the invention, that at least two liquid streams of liquids that cannot be intermixed with one another are pumped through separate openings with defined diameters, in order to achieve flow velocity of the liquid streams of more than 10 m/sec., and in that the liquid streams collide at a collision point in a space, wherein the resulting emulsion is discharged from the space through an outlet.

By the collision of the liquid streams with high flow velocities, in which a plate-shaped collision plate is formed in the collision point, a homogenous emulsion having an oil droplet size of less than 1 m is achieved due to the kinetic energy, which is accordingly very stable as well. No further energy input, such as shear forces, is required to that end.

The invention relates to a device (1a . . . 1g) for processing thermoplastic material, comprising a storage container (2)/a conveying line (11) for plastic particles and a conveying screw (3) connected thereto. The device (1a . . . 1g) further comprises an extruder (4) which connects to the conveying screw (3), and a tempering device (7) arranged in the course of the conveying screw (3). In addition, a temperature sensor (8, 8a, 8b) is arranged in the course of the conveying screw (3)/the extruder (4), and/or means (10) are provided for detecting a load of a drive (6) of the extruder (4). Finally, the device (1a . . . 1g) comprises means for influencing the tempering device (7) and an open loop control/closed loop control (9) which is connected to the at least one temperature sensor (8, 8a, 8b) and/or the influencing means of the tempering device (7). Furthermore, an operating method for the device (1a . . . 1g) is specified, in which the plastic particles are temperature-controlled by a tempering device (7) in the course of the conveying screw (3).
