The invention refers to a fluid foaming machine (100) for producing foam comprising a fluid container (30) where the fluid is arranged, and a foaming device (40) through which fluid flows and is heated and/or foamed, the machine (100) further comprising at least a cooling unit configured to maintain permanently refrigerated both the fluid container (30) and the foaming device (40) during fluid preparation and during stand-by of the machine (100).

A valve comprising a valve spindle housing located in the side of the chamber and including a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet, and a cylinder open along a portion of a longitudinal axis of the cylinder and rotatably mounted in the valve spindle housing. The cylinder is positioned in one position so that the cylinder completely obstructs the valve spindle housing outlet, not allowing any fluid to pass around the cylinder. The cylinder walls are solid except for having openings through a portion of the cylinder, so that when rotated to a closed position, the solid portion of the cylinder fully obstructs the valve spindle housing outlet, and when rotated to an open position, the first fluid can pass into the inside of the cylinder and then through the openings and out of the valve spindle housing.

A method for producing a suspension, wherein plant parts are comminuted in portions and mixed with water so that the water and the plant parts form the suspension, and a pomace remaining from the plant parts is separated from the suspension. A device for producing a suspension, the device including a mixing chamber and a mixing element in the mixing chamber for mixing a portion of comminuted plant parts with water so that the water and the plant parts form the suspension, and an outlet on the mixing chamber for letting the suspension out of the mixing chamber so that a pomace remaining from the plant parts is retained in the mixing chamber. In order to accelerate production, the plant parts are mashed to a pulp while the water is pressed at a positive pressure through the pulp and through a filter which retains the pomace.

A method for controlling pressure in a blending apparatus includes sealingly coupling a blade platform to a rim of a vessel including foodstuffs to form a blending chamber. The blade platform includes a blade assembly. The method includes injecting fluid via an opening defined within the blade platform into the blending chamber while the blade platform is sealingly coupled to the vessel. The injection of fluid causes a change in pressure in the blending chamber. The method includes rotating blades of the blade assembly to process the foodstuffs in the blending chamber. The method includes introducing air into the blending chamber to decrease a difference between the pressure within the blending chamber and a pressure external to the blending chamber. The method includes decoupling the blade platform from the rim.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating mixed waste, for example, an apparatus for degrading bioplastic material in the mixed waste. The apparatus includes an electromagnetic wave emitter adapted to emit an electromagnetic wave on to the mixed waste; a movement inducing device adapted to move the mixed waste when the electromagnetic wave is being emitted onto the mixed waste such that the mixed waste is moved to increase the exposure of the mixed waste to the electromagnetic wave; and at least one of a heat emitter adapted to emit heat and a moisture emitter adapted to emit moisture onto the mixed waste. The present invention further relates to a method of treating mixed waste.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel solid phase peptide synthesis method for synthesizing a large amount of a peptide. Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel solid phase peptide synthesis method for synthesizing a high-purity long-chain peptide. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel solid phase peptide synthesis method causing fewer side reactions. The present invention relates to a method for producing a peptide, and the method comprises solid-phase synthesis of a peptide under stirring with a centrifugal stirrer having no impeller.

Aspects of the invention include a nozzle assembly having a housing configured for attachment to the wall of the vessel. The housing has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion spaced from the proximal end portion along a length of the housing. The housing defines a passageway extending from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion, which is delineated by an inner surface of the housing. The nozzle assembly further includes a nozzle that has a base portion adapted for coupling to the housing, a shaft portion that extends from the base portion, and a tip portion coupled to the shaft portion of the nozzle. The tip portion defines a plurality of orifices. The nozzle also has an outer surface extending along a length of the nozzle that is spaced from the inner surface of the housing to create a gap when the nozzle is coupled to the housing.

The invention relates to a device for injecting a fluid, in particular a cryogenic fluid, the device comprising a fluid feed head and a fluid dispenser body, detachably mounted on said feed head, said feed head comprising a groove for circulating the fluid fed to said body, said groove being closed when the body is mounted on the feed head and said groove being open when the feed head and the body are detached from one another.
