Embodiments of the present disclosure include an agitating system of an agricultural system having a drive system configured to operate an agitator and a controller comprising a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to alternatingly instruct the drive system to operate the agitator in an active operation for an active time and instruct the drive system to suspend operation of the agitator for a dwell time after the active time.

Provided is a microbubble generating device with a simple structure that can stably and continuously discharge microbubbles in larger volumes from a discharge section. The microbubble generating device is provided with: a liquid introduction section 2 for introducing a liquid L1 within a tank T; a gas introduction section 3a for introducing a gas; a pressure feed section 4 for pressure feeding a liquid fluid L2 fed via the liquid introduction section 2 and the gas fed via the gas introduction section 3a; a microbubble generating section 5 for generating microbubbles B in the liquid fluid L2 pressure fed by the pressure feed section 4 and discharging the liquid fluid to the liquid L1; and a discharge flow rate adjustment section 55 for adjusting the discharge volume of the liquid fluid L2.

A loader bucket has material spreaders on opposing sides of the loader bucket to spread material from within the loader bucket received through discharge openings in the rear wall of the bucket from an auger located in the bottom of the bucket. Each material spreader includes a spinner formed with blades to spread the material received through the discharge openings. The material spreaders are positioned below the apex of the V-shaped bucket and operable within a path of distribution that includes an interior boundary member oriented with a forward end closer to the center of the bucket than the rearward end to provide a distribution forwardly and laterally of the bucket. A low baffle mounted at the bottom periphery of the spinner blades forces material upwardly into a fluffy pattern. A high baffle provides a second boundary limit for the distribution of material.

A method for the application of hydrous mineral binder compositions which contain fibres. An aqueous accelerator is mixed with the aqueous binder composition in a mixer shortly before the application. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly produce even large moulded bodies having a uniform surface and very good strength development properties.

The method for producing carbon nanotube pellets according to the present invention can reduce the particle size of the carbon nanotubes contained in the pellet by a repetitive extrusion process to produce pellets having improved dispersion characteristics in a solvent. The present invention can improve the problems of the change of the content generated by scattering of powders and safety issues by using carbon nanotubes in the form of pellet. And since the density of the pellet form is higher than that of the powder form, transport, transfer and improvement become easier. Therefore, it can be more effectively applied to the manufacturing of composite materials.

Provided is a production method with which a large amount of particle mixture in which two or more types of particles are mixed can be easily produced. The production method is for producing a particle mixture in which two or more types of particles are mixed, and includes the following steps (1) and (2): (1) a step of adding a first additive to first particles and mixing the first additive with the first particles using a first mixer; and (2) a step of introducing the two or more types of particles including the first particles mixed with the first additive and second particles into a blender container of a gravity blender, and mixing the two or more types of particles inside the blender container.

The method for preparing refrigerated products provides to control the solidity of a product being prepared inside a containment tank (2) of said product, until reaching a predetermined solidity, and to measure the temperature of the same product inside said tank (2) once reached said predetermined solidity. Once reached the predetermined solidity, said temperature of the product is set as reference temperature and said reference temperature is kept constant during the subsequent functioning.

A mobile chemical mixing plant includes an inlet for receiving fluid; a fluid conduit for conveying the fluid from the inlet; a container for containing a chemical therein; a chemical pump for withdrawing the chemical from the container and directing the chemical into the fluid conduit for mixing with the fluid in the fluid conduit to form a chemical mixture; and a homogenization pump for pumping the chemical mixture in the fluid conduit out of the mobile chemical mixing plant. The fluid conduit connects the chemical pump to the homogenization pump. The mobile chemical mixing plant is fixed to a trailer that is attachable to a vehicle. Because the fluid conduit directly connects the chemical pump to the homogenization pump, the mobile chemical mixing plant does not need an intervening mixing tank for mixing the fluid and the chemical.

In order to provide a feed mixture, a feed mixer is proposed which has a container. The container has a bottom and a wall which is connected to the bottom and delimits a filling opening, the area of which is greater than the area of the bottom. A rotatable auger is provided which can be rotated about an axis, the axis running substantially perpendicularly with respect to the bottom. The feed mixer has a pivoting device which is intended and suitable for pivoting the container during a mixing operation, in particular after a predefined time period or after a predefined number of revolutions of the at least one auger.
