A continuous chemical process is modified to allow parts thereto to be processed one quantum of matter at a time. This offers precision and efficiency beyond what is possible with the continuous mode. This Quantum Fluid Operation (QFO) is applied to basic unit operations: mixing, reacting, separating.

The invention relates to a high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head for injection or casting reaction molding, said high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head comprising a head body, a mixing chamber, obtained in the head body wherein a valve element or mixing valve slides and in fluid communication with a supply duct, and a self-cleaning element comprising a scraping portion, said self-cleaning element being structured to slide in said supply duct, as well as comprising an apparatus for controlling and commanding mixing, supply and recirculation comprising a plurality of sensors and transducers mounted on board of the head body and of the components parts of the head connected thereto to detect and transform representative physical quantities of at least one operational status of said high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head into electrical signals and an electronic control and storing system adapted to synchronously control and scan said sensors and transducers and adapted to receive and process said electrical signals indicative of said at least one operational status, at the beginning and during the operational phases of said high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head to compare them with each other and with electrical signals representative of a predetermined reference operational status. The invention also relates to a high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation method for injection or casting reaction molding.

According to embodiments disclosed herein, there is provided a delivery box system to deliver a commodity material. In various instances, a single auger configuration, a dual auger configuration, a vertical auger configuration and/or further configurations or combinations of configurations are contemplated as described. One or more auger facilitates the metered release of the commodity material and ameliorates jamming of the commodity material against aspects of the delivery box system.

A mixing machine (1) for the mixing of a homogeneous mixture with one or more components to obtain a viscous mixture, comprising a mixing chamber (2) which is divided in a push (A), a mixing (B) and a discharge zone (C), and wherein the mixing chamber (2) comprises the following parts: multiple walls, consisting of one or more top plates (22) with multiple inflow channels (10, 11, 12), one or more bottom plates (24) and multiple side walls (6); an outlet mouth (18); an outlet valve (13); several rotors (5); in and out sliding push and/or mixing blades (3, 4); and a self-cleaning system (16, 17); characterised in that the rotors (5) are integrated in the side walls (6) of the mixing chamber (2); the rotors are equipped with transit channels (30) for the in and out sliding push or mixing blades (3, 4); and the self-cleaning system comprises a cleaning plate (16) and a driving mechanism (17) wherein the cleaning plate (16) can move longitudinally through the mixing chamber (2).

A tank, such as a fermentation tank, includes a scraper blade assembly slideably coupled to a bottom surface of the tank. The scraper blade assembly includes a blade arranged to displace solids deposited on the bottom surface of the tank out through an aperture arranged flush with the bottom surface of the tank.

A scrubbing apparatus that is adapted to clean both a mixing paddle and an inner surface of a mixing vessel having an inner diameter and a depth. The scrubbing apparatus has a central structure. Outward facing wipes are attached to the central structure, where distal ends of the outward facing wipes form a perimeter having a diameter that is no less than the inner diameter of the mixing vessel. Inward facing wipes are attached to the central structure, where distal ends of the inward facing wipes are disposed proximate one another.

The invention relates to improvements in the technical field of feeding solid materials to mixing devices. For this purpose, the solid-material feeding device, inter alia, is proposed. The solid-material feeding device comprises the slide, which can be moved between a first end position and a second end position through a conveying connection, which is arranged between a funnel and a solid-material outlet of the solid-material feeding device. By means of the slide, adhesions within the conveying connection can be loosened without having to remove the conveying connection.

A fertilizer mixer includes a housing, a plurality of supporting rods, a roof plate, a mixing room, a lifting mechanism, a stirring mechanism, a control mechanism, a driving mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism. The housing includes a top end and one end of each of the plurality of supporting rods is disposed on the top end. The roof plate is disposed on the other end of each of the plurality of supporting rods. The stirring mechanism is fixed on the roof plate. The mixing room includes a bottom wall and the housing includes an inner bottom surface. The mixing room includes a discharge port disposed on the bottom wall, and a seal plug disposed in the discharge port. The lifting mechanism is disposed between the bottom wall and the inner bottom surface and an outer sidewall of the mixing room abuts against an inner sidewall of the housing.
