An assembly for insertion into a holder of a mixer, comprising: a dispenser having an exterior surface of which at least a band is symmetric about a longitudinal axis of the dispenser; and an adapter for surrounding at least the band of the exterior surface of the dispenser. The adapter comprises a closeable shell, the shell being configured to lock the dispenser in at least a region of the band so as to impede rotational slippage of the dispenser relative to the adapter about the longitudinal axis with the shell being closed. If the assembly is then locked to/engaged with the holder of a planetary mixer, this causes the assembly to undergo superimposed revolution and rotation movements in tandem with those of the holder, resulting in a desired level of mixing being imparted to the dispenser's contents, which may improve homogeneity and predictability of the mixing results.

Devices, systems, and methods for arranging metered dispensers in position within asymmetric rotation mixers for mixing substance contained within the metered dispensers.

A machine (10) to automatically prepare a fluid coloring product inside a container (15), which can already contain a base product, comprises a loading station (26), a perforating device to make an aperture in the upper part of the container (15), a delivery device (21) configured to deliver coloring substances inside the container through such aperture, and a closing device configured to automatically closed such aperture with a closing element, after the delivery of the coloring substances.

A mixing apparatus includes a motor. A first plate is connected to the motor. The first plate includes a spiral groove. A second plate is disposed on the first plate. The second plate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The second plate is disposed on the first plate. A plurality of clamping posts is disposed on the second plate. Each of the plurality of clamping posts is connected to the spiral groove through the second surface of the second plate, and the plurality of clamping posts is configured to guide and secure a vessel to a center of the first surface of the second plate, by rotating the first and second plates with respect to each other. A content of the vessel is mixed by rotating the first plate, the second plate, and the vessel about their respective centers.

A portable chemical reagent mixing device is disclosed. The portable device has stabilizing guide rails to keep the chemical reagent pack in place. The device includes a mold holding a motor which has a gear at the top that presses against a gear contained at the side of a chemical reagent pack. A power source connects to the motor by electrical wires that can be secured and concealed in the base or platform of the invention. The invention has a back guard plate that houses an adjustable spring coil in place which helps secure the reagent pack in place so that the gear of the reagent pack is pressed against the gear attached to the top of the motor to agitate the contents of a chemical reagent pack to facilitate mixing.

A volumetric instrument serving as a universal mixture maker. The instrument comprises fixed-shape solute cups that can be submerged in and fastened to solvent containers. The design allows a human operator to run an iterative method which finds a solution to a set of multivariate equations that would otherwise require situation-specific analytical calculations and the use of weighing scales. The iterative method can solve for one or more variables including solute volume, solvent volume, final mixture volume, and final solute concentration level. Cups and containers act as a mechanical calculator with a single parameter for the operator to manually adjust: how much of a solute cup to submerge in a solvent container. The mechanical calculator reduces mixture equations down to two markings for the operator to visually align: an output mixture marking on a cup, and a volumetric marking on a container.
