The mixing tool is for opening a container and for mixing a product contained in the container. The tool includes a mixing device which is shaped to mix the product contained in the container. A shank extends along a length from the mixing device to an end face. A channel is formed into the end face for receiving an edge of a lid of the container to allow the tool to be used to pry the lid off of the container.

Provided is a liquid stirring apparatus capable of stirring liquid in a wide range. A liquid stirring apparatus 100 includes a first rotating blade 110 and a second rotating blade 130 connected to a liquid discharge device 101 including a submersible pump. The first rotating blade 110 and the second rotating blade 130 include arm tubes 114 and 134 respectively extending radially outward of a first base tube 111 and a second base tube 131, and include arm tubes 115 and 135 respectively extending radially outward from intermediate tubes 113 and 133. The arm tubes 114 and 134 and the arm tubes 115 and 135 are connected to each other by connecting bodies 116 and 136 so that liquid WK can flow therethrough. The connecting bodies 116 and 136 are attached with flat plate-shaped stirring plates 117 and 137 that extend radially outward of the connecting bodies 116 and 136.

A mixing paddle specifically designed to produce pastry dough is disclosed. The mixing paddle is comprised of a collar, a rim, and a plurality of parallel blades enclosed within the rim. An axis from the collar to a bottom of the mixing paddle bisects the rim, creating a first side and a second side.

A combined cleaning and stirring device for a distillation still comprises at least one hollow tube provided with at least one nozzle. The tube is adapted to place the at least one nozzle in fluid communication with a source of cleaning fluid, at least one stirring blade being fixed on said tube.

A method of operating a crystallizing vessel assembly, said vessel assembly having a crystallizing vessel, and a rotor comprising a rotor shaft, said rotor including a plurality of rotor arms, said rotor arms having arms attached to the rotor shaft and scrapers attached at the arms. The crystals are grown on the inside of the vessel and the rotor is rotated to scrape said crystals off. To improve liquid flow inside the crystallizing vessel, a plurality of arms of the rotor arms are hollow arms, each arm of the plurality of arms including an inlet opening that is relatively close to the shaft and an outlet opening that is relatively far from the shaft.

Melting kettles for use on vehicles for continuous processing of material for applying lines, stripes, bitumen, crack sealant or the like. The kettles disclosed herein provide heat transfer by use of oil jacketed tanks. A coil may be placed along a lower section for heat transfer through a burner for heating recirculated oil. A coil may be placed in a lower section and an upper section for heating an oil jacket, as well as heat transfer from the entire circumference of a coil placed in the upper section. An upper coil can be fluidly coupled to a lower coil and positioned within the chamber a spaced apart distance from the interior wall of the melter kettle. A mixer system rotates paddles to cause continuous transfer of material around the upper coil. The melter kettle is cylindrical, but can be corrugated to increase heatable surface area.

The mixing paddle is comprised of a shaft, a rim, a first plurality of parallel blades and a second plurality of parallel blades. The shaft bisects the rim, creating a first side and a second side. The first plurality of parallel blades is perpendicular to the second plurality of parallel blades.

A flocculation and sedimentation apparatus has: sedimentation tank that causes flocs in raw water to be sedimented and separated; sludge concentration tank that is surrounded by sedimentation tank and that collects and concentrates the flocs; and raw water supply mechanism having center line that passes through sludge concentration tank, wherein raw water supply mechanism rotates about center line and supplies the raw water to sedimentation tank. Raw water supply mechanism includes: raw water introducing portion that is located on center line and to which the raw water is introduced, raw water supply port that is open at a lower portion of an inner space of sedimentation tank and that supplies the raw water to sedimentation tank, and pipe portion that communicates both with raw water introducing portion and with raw water supply port and that extends above sludge concentration tank in a direction away from center line.

An agitator device, in particular a non-close-clearance agitator device, in particular with respect to a vessel wall, in particular for mixing low-viscosity to medium-viscosity media, having at least one agitation shaft and having at least one outer agitation blade which is held on the agitation shaft and which in at least one section is implemented so as to be arm-shaped. The agitator device has an inner agitation blade which conjointly with the outer agitation blade implements at least one van-type conveying unit which is at least configured for conveying a medium in at least one direction parallel with the agitation shaft and in particular in at least one further direction perpendicular to the agitation shaft.
