A method comprises the steps of receiving a wastewater containing solid particles in suspension, agitating the wastewater for a specified agitation period under specified agitation conditions sufficient to enable auto-flocculation of at least a portion of the solid particles into flocs to provide an agitated wastewater, allowing the agitated wastewater to settle for a specified sedimentation period to allow at least a portion of the flocs to settle, and separating at least a portion of the settled flocs from the agitated wastewater to provide a clarified wastewater effluent.

A fine-bubble mixed liquid producing apparatus 1 includes a reservoir 4 and a bubble feeding means 6 for feeding bubbles to a liquid L stored in the reservoir 4, wherein the bubble feeding means 6 includes a rotary cylinder 20 having an emitting part 22 on the outer circumferential surface, the emitting part 22 for being rotationally driven by a drive means 10, a circulating means 40 for drawing out the liquid L stored in the reservoir 4 and feeding the liquid L from the emitting part 22 to the reservoir 4, and a gas-liquid mixing part 50 for mixing bubbles with the liquid L circulated by the circulating means 40. This apparatus enables a fine-bubble mixed liquid to be efficiently produced.

An industrial mixing machine comprises a mixing head and at least one attachment means for attaching a mixing container, which contains a material to be mixed and is open on the attachment side, to the mixing head to form a closed mixing receptacle. The mixing head is pivotably mounted in relation to a frame as part of a pivotable assembly in such a way that the closed mixing receptacle formed from mixing head and mixing container is pivotable in relation to the frame to carry out the mixing process. The mixing head has at least one mixing tool, which is seated on a drive shaft extending through the mixing head and rotationally driven thereby, having multiple radial blades. The radial blades have a cross-sectional geometry according to which, starting from its maximum thickness, the blade thickness decreases in the rotational direction toward the rear blade end. In the section of decreasing blade thickness, the blade lower side is pitched more strongly with respect to the horizontal in the rotational direction than the blade upper side. An imaginary straight line connecting the rear end of the radial blades to their respective front end facing in the rotational direction is inclined in relation to the horizontal in the same direction as the inclination of the blade lower side in the section of decreasing thickness.

An automatic stirring cup, comprising a cup body, a stirring ball arranged at the bottom of a cavity of the cup body and a power base for supplying power to the stirring ball; a first electrode for electrically connecting the stirring ball and the power base is arranged at the bottom of the cup body; a first magnet is arranged in the stirring ball, and a second magnet matched with the first magnet is arranged at the bottom of the cup body, and the stirring ball and the cup body are magnetically connected; a third magnet matched with the second magnet is arranged at the power base, and the cup body and the power base are magnetically connected. The automatic stirring cup could avoid the water leakage problem during the use of the automatic stirring cup in the prior art.

Exemplary embodiments contained herein relate to smokeless products containing one or more non-tobacco plant materials and methods of manufacture thereof. Exemplary embodiments are related to the method of manufacture of various chew products containing non-tobacco ingredients including plant material and a starch, a sweetener, natural and artificial flavors, a pH adjuster, solvent, salt, and nicotine and methods of manufacture thereof.

An apparatus for stirring the contents of a beverage cup without removing the lid. The lid of the cup is equipped with a rotating disk. A shaft having a finger tab at its top and a paddle device at its bottom traverses the disk in an offset position relative to the center of the disk. When the disk is rotated by the shaft, the paddle is dragged through the beverage, thus stirring the beverage.

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.

A paint can and paint can mixing system effectively and cleanly mixes and stirs paint within the can by using a bottom mounted crank connected through the bottom of the can by a shaft which rotates a stirring member within the can. The crank is conveniently configured to be stored beneath the bottom of the paint can and to be pivoted downward when mixing of the paint within the can is desired. A shallow sidewall circumscribes the bottom of the paint can. The sidewall encloses a space in which the crank is located in its stored position. This allows easy and space saving stacking of the paint cans.

A method for preparing semisolid slurry. The method is achieved using a device for preparing semisolid slurry. The device includes a slurry vessel and a mechanical stirring rod. The mechanical stirring rod includes a first end and a second end extending into the slurry vessel. The method includes: S1. putting a molten alloy having a first preset temperature into the slurry vessel; S2. cooling the molten alloy to a second preset temperature, positioning the second end of the mechanical stirring rod to be 5-25 mm higher than the bottom wall of the slurry vessel, rotating the mechanical stirring rod and injecting a cooling medium into the mechanical stirring rod; and S3: allowing the temperature of the molten alloy to be 10-90 degrees centigrade lower than the liquidus temperature of the molten alloy, stopping stirring and cooling, to yield a semisolid slurry.
