The continuous treatment device (10) includes a tank (11) of elongated shape and that determines a mixing chamber (15) which includes, at a first end, at least one inlet orifice (12) for the raw material and, at a second end, at least one outlet orifice (13) for the treated material, and also, between these orifices, at least one agitator shaft (16) equipped with blades (17) suitable for continuously mixing and advancing the material in the mixing chamber (15) from the inlet orifice to the outlet orifice. The device also includes a mixing screw (25) in the bottom of the tank, which is positioned in the mixing chamber (15), below and parallel to the at least one shaft (16), and which is suitable for being rotated, about at least one direction of rotation, the opposite way from the advance of the material from the inlet orifice to the outlet orifice.

The present invention relates to a blender delivery system designed for integration with water bottles. This system facilitates the efficient mixing of supplements, such as protein powders and other nutritional additives, directly into a water bottle without the need for separate blending containers. The delivery device incorporates threading at one end to securely attach to a blender base and an opening at the other end to form a watertight connection with a water bottle. The device's internal volume is designed to receive and mix supplement contents with liquid from the water bottle when connected to a blender base. This configuration allows for a seamless transfer of mixed contents back into the water bottle for easy consumption. This invention addresses the need for a convenient, portable, and mess-free solution to mixing dietary supplements in everyday settings.

A bone cement mixing and delivery system including a mixer, a delivery device, and a flexible extension tube. A connector is attached to a distal end of the flexible tube. The connector includes a housing, a fitting and an enlarged knob. A spindle that extends through the housing connects the fitting to the knob so the fitting rotates with the knob. A cannula is connected to the mixing and delivery system by placing the cannula fitting adjacent the connector fitting. The knob is rotated to result in the like rotation of the connector fitting. This causes the complementary threading on the connector fitting and the cannula fitting to engage.

The invention relates to a mixing and conveying system for dry mortar materials. The dry mortar materials can be obtained from a storage silo (1) through an openable closure panel (3). A pipe (17), in which a drivable screw conveyor (4) is mounted, is arranged under the closure panel (3). The pipe (17) leads into a mixing and buffer container (18), in which a coil (20) is rotatably mounted on a central axis (19). The mixing and buffer container (18) has a volume which equals at least 1.5-times the minute capacity of the pump-screw conveyor (14). It is thus ensured that the dry mortar material is mixed therein with the added water for at least 90 seconds or longer. The mixing and buffer container (18) leads into a pipe (15) at the bottom having a pump-screw conveyor (14) which conveys the mixed mortar into a hose (5). The pump-screw conveyor (14) can be allowed to run backward. The coil (20) runs continually such that the mortar is constantly agitated to prevent setting.

A manual mixer serves to facilitate mixing and agitating materials for use during surgery. The manual mixer includes a mixing assembly and an actuation assembly for actuating the mixing assembly. The mixing assembly includes at least a paddle portion and a plunger portion. The plunger portion is simultaneously capable of rotational movement with the paddle portion and movement upwardly or downwardly along the paddle portion. Rotation of the paddle portion serves to facilitate mixing and agitating of the materials, and downward movement of the plunger portion serves to facilitate dispensing of the materials from the manual mixer.

A mixing device and methods for making bone cement. A piston (156) of the mixing device is located in a first region (158) of a chamber (112) such that a mixing paddle (154) rotates to mix bone cement components at a first pressure to make a bone cement mixture. The piston (156) is moved passed an inlet opening (136) to be located within a second region (160) of the chamber (112) to compress the bone cement mixture to a second pressure greater than the first pressure to compress the bone cement mixture and make the bone cement. The bone cement may be transferred to a delivery device. The mixing device may include features that automatically initiate the compression and transferring phases after completion of the mixing phase, and further include features that automatically terminate the operational cycle. A three-step intuitive workflow utilizing the mixing device to improve efficiency in the surgical suite is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a device for producing and processing a multi-component mixture, the device comprising a mixing chamber which has an outlet, wherein the device has a closure element which can be moved in the direction of a longitudinal axis L of the mixing chamber in order to open or close the outlet of the mixing chamber; wherein the device has an apparatus for controlling an axial speed of the closure element, the apparatus comprising: a hydraulic system in which a hydraulic fluid is guided; a cylinder which is connected to the nozzle closure element and cooperates with at least one chamber of the hydraulic system; and a controllable throttle gap arranged in the hydraulic system.
