A mixing device for cylindrical jars, the device having two drive rollers and two guide rollers extending upward from a housing and through a top surface of the housing. The rear end of the top surface has a stop member. The drive rollers on one side of the jar and the guide rollers on an opposite side of the jar are mounted on axles positioned in the interior of the housing, wherein the axles slant downward 2 to 45 degrees from the front end to the rear end of the housing. The drive rollers will spin the jar at least 5 RPM with the jar tilted downward. A motor and transmission in the housing are connected operatively to the drive rollers. Ajar of natural peanut butter with separated peanut oil and solids may be placed on the rollers, with the lid of the jar engaging the stop member and rotated for 5 to 20 minutes. The natural peanut butter will then remain uniformly mixed for a week.

A bottle warming apparatus is disclosed that combines heating and agitating of a bottle and its contents in order to achieve even warming, as well as, mixing the contents of the bottle.

A rotary bucket mixing device is disclosed. The rotary bucket mixing device includes a main body, a rotating disk assembly, a power gear assembly and a first idler assembly. The power gear assembly receives a power to drive the rotating disk assembly to rotate and thereby rotating a mixing bucket disposed on a supporting assembly of the rotating disk assembly and mixing the contents in the mixing bucket. The first idler assembly controls a rotational speed. The rotary bucket mixing device of the present disclosure provides a better support to the mixing bucket and therefore the safety during the mixing process is enhanced.

Described herein is a mixing apparatus for mixing a non-homogenized food product contained within a container. The apparatus includes a housing including a first end wall, a second end wall, and a top wall that at least partially define a cavity of the housing. The apparatus also includes a pair of rollers extending from the first end wall to the second end wall and coupled to the housing such that each roller is rotatable relative to the housing. The apparatus also includes a motor positioned in the cavity and enclosed within the housing, the motor operatively coupled to a first roller of the pair of rollers and configured to drive the first roller to rotate for rotating the container, and a battery positioned in the cavity and enclosed within the housing, the battery operatively coupled to the motor to provide power thereto to drive the first roller.

[Problem] To provide a agitation/defoaming method and device with which both of uniformity in dispersion of object to be processed and reduction of air bubbles can be achieved with high precision. [Solution] Provided is a agitation/defoaming method for producing orbital and spin motions of a container containing object to be processed by a device provided with orbital and spin drive motors that can independently control the velocities of the orbital and spin motions. Both defoaming and agitating treatments with high precision can be achieved by respectively performing a reverse rotation superimposition processing, wherein the rotational frequency of the spin drive motor is obtained by superimposing the first rotational frequency in a direction opposite to the direction of the orbital motion on the frequency of the orbital motion, and a same rotation superimposition processing, wherein the rotational frequency of the spin drive motor is obtained by superimposing the second rotational frequency in the same direction as the direction of the orbital motion on the frequency of the orbital motion, at least once.

A stirring device includes a tray configured to hold an ink container filled with ink, a support member configured to support the tray, a rotary member configured to support the support member, and a pedestal configured to rotatably support the rotary member, in which the tray and the support member are engaged with each other by engagement portions provided on the tray and the support member (engagement cut-out portion, engagement convex portion).

The invention relates to a sample processing system and method for processing biological samples, comprising a sample processing device having: a receiving plate, which is arranged substantially horizontally in a plane; a first and second working arm, which can move relative to the receiving plate and extend substantially parallel to each other in a second direction (Y) over the receiving plate; at least one pipetting device mounted on the first working arm, which is movable in the second direction (Y) and in a third direction (Z) orthogonal in relation to the first and second direction (X, Y); at least one gripping device, mounted on the second working arm, with grippers that can be rotated around a gripper axis of rotation (GA) parallel to the third direction (Z); and a control device for controlling the pipetting device and the gripping device.
