Provided is a slurry mixer. The slurry mixer includes a container configured to receive a slurry including liquid material and powdered material, a lid configured to cover the container, a first agitator coupled to the lid, and configured to rotate to mix the slurry, a second agitator coupled to the lid at one side of the first agitator, and configured to rotate or revolve to mix the slurry, and a scraper coupled to a rotary shaft of a rotor for operating the second agitator, and configured to contact a lower surface of the lid.

A counter-rotating dough making mechanism, including a drive shaft (9) that is provided with an upper dough hook assembly (1) and a lower dough hook assembly (2) is disclosed. The lower dough hook assembly (2) is preferably provided with a stir plate (3) which enhances the thorough mixing of flour during dough kneading. The upper dough hook assembly (1) and the lower dough hook assembly (2) are connected by gears (42a, 42b, 42c) so that they rotate synchronously but in the opposite direction. By the counter-rotating action of the upper dough hook assembly (1) and the lower dough hook assembly (2), the dough making process is more effective as compared to the usual single piece dough hook as used in many stand mixers. The design and construction of the disclosed counter-rotating dough making mechanism is simple, robust, and reliable, and can deliver superior performance in dough making.

A stirring-processing apparatus and a processing method are provided to realize excellent processing of a fluid regardless of the properties of the fluid. The stirring-processing apparatus is provided with the stirring blade and the stirring chamber provided with the screen, wherein the apparatus performs, under a state in which the stirring chamber is disposed in a fluid to be processed, a process of applying a shear force to the fluid by a relative rotation between the screen and the stirring blade. The stirring chamber is provided with the suction opening to suck the fluid from outside to inside and the ejecting opening to eject the fluid from inside to outside; these openings being disposed above and below. The suppressing body to control a flow of the fluid is disposed between the suction opening and the ejecting opening. The suppressing body is, for example, in the form of a cylinder, and is interposed between the suction flow and the ejecting flow, thereby suppressing interference between the two flows.

Systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure assist with management of tubes and hoses during surgical procedures. The systems, devices, and methods provide for the proper opening and closing of tubes to facilitate performance of steps in a surgical procedure. Systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure control fluid delivery to and from a medical device, including devices for tissue processing and cleaning.

The problem of providing a stirrer capable of more effectively shearing a fluid to be treated is addressed, by using the action of an intermittent jet stream. A stirrer is provided with a rotor having a blade and a screen, which are relatively rotated such that the fluid to be treated is discharged from the inside of the screen to the outside as an intermittent jet stream through a slit in the screen, the stirrer satisfying condition 1 and condition 2. (Condition 1) the relationship among the width b in the rotating direction of a tip part of the blade, the width s in the circumferential direction of the slit, and the width t in the circumferential direction of the screen member is b2s+t. (Condition 2) the relationship between the width b in the rotating direction of the tip part of the blade and the maximum inner diameter c of the screen is b0.1c.

Disclosed a bi-directional blender, comprising a cup and a cap holder rotatably connected with the cup by a threaded flange, wherein the interior of the cup is a cavity in which a first blending blade and a second blending blade are fixedly mounted. In the bi-directional blender of the invention, the cup is internally provided with the first blending blade and the second blending blade, the two sets of blending blades may rotate in opposite directions to form a forward and a reverse crushing structure capable of better crushing all kinds of ingredients, and thus the blender can be used in a juicer and a food processor.

A stirring device for stirring a biphasic fluid has a stirring shaft that can be mounted with a mounting end into a stirring drive. The stirring device also has a first paddle that is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner at or near a stirring end of the stirring shaft that is opposite to the mounting end, and further has a second paddle that is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner at the stirring shaft in between the mounting end and the first paddle. The second paddle is mounted with respect to the stirring shaft in such a manner that it can be displaced in an axial direction along the stirring shaft, which allows for a change of an axial distance between the second paddle and the mounting end of the stirring shaft.
