A disposable container comprising a side wall, top and bottom, wherein the side wall comprises a first flexible material and the bottom comprises a rigid or semi-rigid material. The side wall top and bottom are joined together to define the container with an interior compartment for keeping a fluid inside the container. The bottom comprises at least one opening that is fluid-tightly covered with an assembly comprising a second flexible material. The assembly comprises at least one port which provides access to the interior compartment of the container. The invention also relates to a mixing system comprising the disposable container.

The bucket-holding device is a pedestal that is configured for use with a bucket. The bucket-holding device receives and stores the bucket in a secure manner during filling and mixing operations. The bucket-holding device comprises a platform, a bucket cavity, a rear securing element, and a front securing element. The bucket cavity is formed in the platform. The rear securing element and the front securing element are attached to the platform. The front securing element is foot operated using a pedal.

A valve for injecting a fluid into a bowl has a vent with an inlet and a flexible diaphragm for covering the discharge opening of the vent. The diaphragm is connected to a vessel body of a bowl, and the vent is connected to a stand of a bowl. The diaphragm has a closing area for closing the discharge opening and a connecting area for connecting the diaphragm with the vessel body spaced to the vent. At least one window is provided between the closing area and the connecting area.

A container mixer is provided that includes a single container moveable between a vertical position and a horizontal position. A mixing apparatus includes at least one blade disposed on a shaft that is rotatably driven by a motor. A frame is configured to support the container and facilitate movement of the container from the vertical position to the horizontal position. A container mixer is also provided that includes a single container having a first end, at least one side wall extending from the first end, and a second end. A mixing apparatus is moveable relative to the container between a vertical position where the shaft is inserted through the second end of the container and a horizontal position wherein the shaft is inserted through the through hole in the side wall of the container. A method of preparing an emulsion product therewith is also provided.

A rotatable drum system includes a frame and a drum rotationally supported thereon. Paddles in an interior of the drum are angularly offset from the longitudinal axis. An eccentric opening offset from the longitudinal axis forms the egress. Mixed solid waste agitated by the paddles while in the drum. Trunnions may support the drum. An actuator may be pivotable with an upper frame relative to a lower frame and the actuator can cause drum rotation irrespective of a position of the upper frame relative to the lower frame. A trunnion assembly with a rocker pivotally coupled to a base thereof via a first axle, enables the rocker to be pivotable relative to the base about the first axle. A second axle may be rotationally coupled to the rocker. A roller may be rotationally coupled to the rocker via the second axle, and configured to support a rotating load.
