A frozen food appliance and related method of making a frozen food product. A rotational drive assembly configured in an axial alignment using a direct drive to produce rotational movement of a blade element to contact a frozen food precursor in a frozen food container associated with the frozen food appliance where the rotational drive assembly omits rotational speed modifying gears and transmissions positioned between a drive motor and the blade element. In another aspect, a rotational drive assembly may be kept in axial alignment with a frozen food container via a multi portioned container mount having a float connector.

A reaction apparatus, comprising: a reaction kettle; a circulation loop, comprising a circulation pipeline and a circulator pump provided on the circulation pipeline, a discharging end of the circulator pump being communicated with the top of the reaction kettle by means of a circulation valve and a charging end of the circulator pump being communicated with the bottom of the reaction kettle by means of a block valve; a feeding loop, comprising a feeding pipeline and a bypass pipeline, the feeding pipeline being provided between the block valve and the circulator pump and being communicated with the circulation pipeline, the bypass pipeline being provided with a control valve, and one end of the bypass pipeline being communicated with the discharging end of the circulator pump and the other end thereof being communicated with the bottom of the reaction kettle; and a discharging loop, comprising a discharging pipeline provided between the circulator pump and the circulation valve and communicated with the circulation pipeline, the discharging pipeline being provided with a discharging valve.

A liquid mixing device and a liquid mixing method are provided, which can suppress air from being mixed into liquids to generate air bubbles, and the structure is easy to clean, so that a high-quality mixed liquid can be obtained. The liquid mixing device is suitable for mixing multiple liquids and includes a stirring chamber; a supply portion, disposed on an inner surface of the stirring chamber to supply the liquids into the stirring chamber; a stirring component, disposed in the stirring chamber to stir the liquids supplied into the stirring chamber; and an opposing plate, disposed on the stirring component and disposed opposite to the supply portion.

Lightweight construction panels, such as plasterboard, (e.g. gypsum plasterboard) are commonly used to provide internal partitions in buildings. Sheets of plasterboard are typically carried and positioned by hand. Accordingly, it is desirable to reduce the weight of plasterboard. It is known to include an aqueous foam in the stucco slurry used to produce plasterboards. However, prior known mixers have been found to destroy foam bubbles. The present invention provides a stucco slurry mixing apparatus (100) including an inlet (130) for the introduction of foam into a mixing chamber (110), wherein the inlet (130) includes an inlet aperture (132) in a wall of the mixing chamber (110) and an inlet conduit (134) extending therefrom such that a relative angle between a longitudinal axis (136) of the inlet conduit (134) and a tangent (140) to a mixing path (124) defined by a mixing member (120) is less than 90 degrees.
