The invention of the present disclosure is that of functional packaging systems useful for reducing the separation of solid and liquid constituents of its contents. The invention is particularly useful for preventing the undesirable separation of solid and oil phases of food products such as natural peanut butter that is manufactured without the use of undesirable additives such as hydrogenated vegetable oils, lecithin, monoglycerides, diglycerides and other substances that slow separation of the solid and oil phases from one another. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a container with a rotating base which when rotated actuates the agitation of the product contained within, as a result of the concurrent rotation of one or more axes configured with an agitator or equivalent means of stirring or mixing the contents. The invention is further provided with hermetic sealing means and the like to ensure food safety.

An elevating feed mixing system and method are provided. The system includes a support frame and a raisable platform raisable relative to the support frame. A mixing tub disposed on the raisable platform is configured to receive constituent ingredients of a feed and further configured to raise to release the feed after it is mixed.

A makeup fluid management and supply device and method are provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a cosmetic style template sent from a user device; selecting a makeup bottle by the control module in accordance with a makeup application step of the cosmetic style template and moving the makeup bottle to a using position by the driving module; reading a label information of the makeup bottle; sending the label information to the management unit so as to perform a validation procedure on the makeup bottle; rotating, in response to a positive validation result, the makeup bottle by the driving module so as to perform a makeup fluid mixing procedure on the makeup bottle; and driving, by the driving module, the makeup bottle to move in a first direction until the makeup bottle is squeezed so as to obtain a makeup fluid of the makeup bottle.

An automated machine is provided for mixing and dispensing liquid detergents remotely controlled by a control software connected to a server which updates product databases, which is executed, together with other software for dispensing and delivering liquid content and surfactant detergent with anionic and cationic tensio-active chemical compounds as the basis of its selected formulation of Genapol, sodium phenyl sulfonate and the sodium lauryl sulfonate with preservatives such as formaldehyde and bactericides such as glutaraldehyde in a mixture of concentrated detergent with water in a proportion between 30% and 40%; where said machine is manipulated with a touch screen that drives two types of injectors that send product, to make the liquid mixture, to a static mixer or to a dynamic mixer and said machine conducts said mixed liquid to a tank of finished product to be dispensed by a filling spout placed on the front of a container-shaped casing.

Various methods and systems are provided for mixing and dispensing viscous materials for the creation of additive structures. As one example, during a mixing and dispensing operation with a mixing and dispensing head of a multi-dimensional printing apparatus, linear movement of a mixing rod positioned within a mixing chamber of the mixing and dispensing head, at least along a central axis of the mixing chamber, is adjusted based on an operating condition of the printing apparatus and dispensing of mixed liquids from the mixing and dispensing head is stopped by stopping one or more pumps fluidly coupled to the mixing chamber and linearly moving the mixing rod upward and away from a dispensing nozzle of the mixing and dispensing head.

Various methods and systems are provided for mixing and dispensing viscous materials for the creation of additive structures. As one example, in a multi-dimensional printing apparatus, one or more materials flow into a mixing chamber via one or more corresponding inlet channels, a rotational speed of a mixing rod positioned within a mixing chamber is adjusted based on a volume of the mixing chamber and a flow rate of the one or more materials into the mixing chamber, the mixing rod including a set of straight cutaways extending along a length of a bottom portion of the mixing rod and forming flat side surfaces of the mixing rod; and a mixture of the one or more materials is dispensed from the mixing chamber via a dispensing nozzle of a mixing and dispensing head.

A feed mixer vehicle having a hopper with a base is carried on a chassis. A vertically extending auger assembly is rotatably mounted in the hopper adjacent the base, extending from the hopper base. A reduction gearbox assembly having a reduction gear train assembly is mounted adjacent the base of the auger assembly. The reduction gear train assembly has an input shaft and an output shaft, with the output shaft coupled to the auger assembly. The reduction gearbox assembly further includes a first planetary gear set assembly meshed with a second planetary gear set assembly, where the first planetary gear set assembly includes the input shaft and the second planetary gear set assembly includes the output shaft. Coupled to the input shaft of the reduction gearbox assembly is an axial flux motor assembly.

The mixing device of cell printing composition according to the present disclosure comprises a first syringe comprising a first container for containing first liquid, a first moving element discharging the first liquid contained in the first container; a second syringe comprising a second container for containing second liquid, a second moving element discharging the second liquid contained in the second container; a mixing container which comprises a rotating mixing unit and receives the discharged first liquid and the discharged second liquids; a power transmission unit for driving the first moving element, the second moving element and the mixing unit; a first threaded guide where the first moving element is movably connected; a second threaded guide where the second moving element is movably connected; and a rod for rotating the mixing unit.

The invention relates to a food processing system (100) for preparing an edible mass of a food product starting from a raw food material, the system comprising: one or a plurality of food containers (20), each one comprising a raw food material in form of dehydrated material and/or paste and/or chunks; one or a plurality of dispensing and reconstituting chambers (10), each chamber being associated to at least one food container (20), each of the chambers (10) comprising a variable and/or exchangeable reconstitution and deposition device configured for hydrating and/or structuring and/or reconstituting in batches the raw food material provided by the one or more food containers (20) in order to create a homogeneous edible mass of food product, the device being further configured to deposit in-line with a controlled flow the edible mass of food product once prepared. The invention further relates to a method for operating a food processing system (100) as the one described in order to prepare an edible mass of food product starting from raw food material: the information on the kind of raw food material and on its processing is retrieved from identification means on the one or more food containers (20) and/or from a connected database, in order to process the raw food material in the one or more of the dispensing and reconstituting chambers (10) according to a certain recipe, acting on the hydration ratio and/or mixing speed and/or mixing time and/or temperature and/or viscosity and/or texture

A liner element for lining a vertical grinding mill agitator including one or more primary mounting portions configured to releasably mount the liner to a shaft of the agitator; and one or more secondary mounting portions configured to releasably mount one or more wear members to the liner. A liner segment including the liner element and at least one wear member is also disclosed.
