A device for making of a multi-components product material. The device includes a processing and homogenizing chamber for primary particle components. The chamber includes at least two sets of rotary shovels, which rotate in parallel in a mutually counter-rotating, homogenizing mode, inlet(s) into the chamber for at least one secondary component in a fluid state and/or fine particulate material state, which interacts with the primary components while they are moved around in the chamber by sets of the shovels, and an outlet in the chamber to allow the primary and secondary components to leave the chamber as the multi-component product material.

Methods and mechanisms for mixing and dispensing multipart materials is provided. The methods and mechanisms may be used for mix on demand operations as well as for encapsulation of electronic components. The methods and mechanisms may incorporate a mixer assembly from which material is substantially directly dispensed. The methods and mechanisms may incorporate mix on demand where first and second material supply sources include pumping arrangements for pumping first and second materials through a mixing arrangement. The pumping forces provided by the pumping arrangements also provide the force to dispense the mixed material where it will ultimately be formed, such as a potting location or a mold.

A mixing device for preparing aligot, including a mixing case containing a chamber that opens at an inlet for conveying material to be mixed, and a mixing member, where the mixing member includes at least one roller that is mounted rotating on a motorised shaft, one or more bearing surfaces of the roller being designed to engage in a crushing manner with the surfaces of the chamber of the case.

A method and a device are for making of a multi-components product material. The device includes a processing and homogenizing chamber for primary particle components.

Systems and methods provide a self-contained sealed apparatus that captures, filters, compresses and stores methane gas produced by the decomposition of bio-degradable organic materials. The system includes a rotatable and sealable chamber with an intermittent drive unit that mixes moist bio-degradable material during an anaerobic reaction, and captures methane gas generated by anaerobic decomposition. A filter to remove impurities, a low-pressure storage tank, a compressor and a high-pressure storage tank are interconnected and controlled by a system that monitors system parameters, that may include gas flow rate, temperature, and gas volume, and controls system parameters, that may include drive unit activation, generator operation, and compressor operation.

An automated production system is disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed toward an automated system for the continuous production of baked bread. The system can include a priming assembly having a dry ingredients priming unit and a wet ingredients priming unit. The dry ingredients priming unit can include a vertically-oriented hopper and a screw positioned within an interior region of the hopper, wherein the first screw extends along the central longitudinal axis of the hopper and is configured to rotate about its own central longitudinal axis. The system can also include a mixing assembly, a forming assembly, an oven, and a controller. The controller can be coupled to the priming assembly and configured to adjust the amount of dry ingredients delivered from the hopper to the mixing chamber by controlling rotation of the screw.

A device is described that can accept two or more components for mixing and preparing a composition within the device. Once mixed and prepared, the device can deliver the composition to a surgical site. The composition can be a putty-like material that sets over time at the surgical site, such as a hemostatic device or a device for sealing a hole or cavity in bone.

The invention relates generally to a material handling device to perform the tasks of mixing and dispensing a mixture of materials, either simultaneously or sequentially. The material handling device may comprise an enclosure, a mixing component, a dispensing orifice, a dispensing component, and a material storage region, wherein the mixing component is positioned within the material storage region and configured to mix, stir, agitate, loosen, grind, shred, or otherwise reposition a mixture of materials within the material storage region.

A bone filler mixing and delivery device includes a mixing section adapted to mix components to form bone filler. A syringe barrel is coupled to the mixing section and has an opening through which the bone filler can be dispensed. A controllable portal can be manipulated to open a flow path between the mixing section and the syringe barrel. A plunger assembly is adapted to extend telescopically in an axial direction through the syringe barrel to dispense the bone filler through the opening.

A bone cement delivery system including a mixer, a reservoir for holding bone cement, a cannula that is connected to the reservoir and through which the bone cement is delivered into living tissue. A plunger that is advanced by a drive assembly, pushes the bone cement out of the delivery tube into the cannula for discharge from the cannula. A valve is located upstream of the cannula. A control unit regulates both drive assembly and the setting of the valve. The control unit is configured to, when deactivating the valve so as to stop the advancement of the plunger, close the valve. The closing of the valve reduces the extent to which the bone cement, which is under pressure continues to flow into and be discharged out of the cannula.
