A liquid mixing system includes a support housing at least partially bounding a compartment. A mount is secured to the support housing. A drive motor assembly is configured to engage a drive shaft for moving the drive shaft within the compartment of the support housing. A four bar linkage system extends between the mount and the drive motor assembly, the four bar linkage system being movable between a first position wherein the drive motor assembly is disposed at a first elevation and a second position wherein the drive motor assembly is disposed at a second elevation that is different from the first elevation.

The invention relates to a conveyor system for conveying at least one material to be conveyed, comprising a continuously circulating conveyor, at least one transponder, preferably an RFID transponder, arranged on or in the conveyor, and at least one communication device for wirelessly transmitting data to the transponder and/or for wirelessly reading data saved in the transponder, said conveyor being a pocket conveyor belt. The conveyor preferably comprises a plurality of transponders arranged at regular intervals, wherein the data transmitted to the individual transponders or the data saved in the individual transponders preferably relates to information about a defined section of the conveyor, such as information relating to the type and/or amount of the material to be conveyed in a section of the conveyor assigned to the respective transponder.

An apparatus for containing and mixing a load of liquids and solids is disclosed. The apparatus includes an elongated tank, which includes a lower portion and an upper portion. The apparatus further includes an elongated rotatable shaft within the tank. At least one blade is connected to the shaft and is configured to mix the liquids and solids when the shaft is rotated. The apparatus also includes a shaft support configured for maintaining the shaft in a rotatable manner within the tank. The shaft support is selectively moveable in a manner permitting the shaft to move in an upward direction from the lower portion toward the upper portion, and in a downward direction from the upper portion toward the lower portion. An is contained with the tank for moving the shaft support in the upward direction and in the downward direction.

A biogas plant contains a fermenter vessel, in which an assembly support is mounted, preferably vertically oriented. An assembly, in particular a submersible motor driven stirrer, is retained by a height adjustment device so as to be vertically adjustable on the assembly support. Accordingly, the height adjustment device is formed by a belt drive of which a traction device is guided around at least two deflecting elements spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the assembly support. At least one of the deflecting elements can be driven in rotation by a driving device and the assembly is coupled to the traction device in such a way that when the deflecting element is rotationally actuated in a first direction the assembly is raised and when the deflecting element is rotationally actuated in a second, opposite direction, the assembly is lowered.

A fluid mixing system includes a support housing having an interior surface bounding a chamber. A flexible bag is disposed within the chamber of the support housing, the flexible bag having an interior surface bounding a compartment. An impeller is disposed within the chamber of the flexible bag. A drive shaft is coupled with the impeller such that rotation of the drive shaft facilitates rotation of the impeller. A drive motor assembly is coupled with the draft shaft and is adapted to rotate the drive shaft. An adjustable arm assembly is coupled with the drive motor assembly and is adapted to move the drive motor assembly which in turn moves the position of the drive shaft and impeller. An electrical controller can control movement of the adjustable arm.

The present invention refers to a filtering device for filtering a fluid containing dissolved solutions and optionally colloidal substances, including solvents and solutes, comprising a first filter unit (12) serving to remove substances in a first filtering step by way of a membrane filtration, said removed substances having a molecular weight above a defined limit value, a second filter unit (19), disposed downstream of the first filter unit (12), for the treatment of the permeate of the first filter unit (12), wherein the second filter unit (19) comprises a filter bed comprising at least one filter material of the group comprising graphene, modified graphene, graphite, activated carbon and a zeolite compound, and a third filter unit (20), disposed downstream of the second filter unit (19), for the treatment of the permeate of the second filter unit (19), wherein the third filter unit (20) comprises a porous membrane, through which the liquid to be filtered flows in a cross-flow. The present invention provides a device with the possibility of filtration with high working pressure, avoiding possible clogging inside the adsorbing material and easy regeneration and reactivation of the adsorbing material.

Packed bed gel material cleaning vessel, has an internal processing volume, to contain the gel, delimited by a circumferential, axially extending, upright vessel wall at both axial ends sealed by a top vessel wall and an opposite bottom vessel wall, the internal processing volume is above 10 litre; sensors of the vessel monitor the filling level of the vessel. A bottom filter completely covers the vessel bottom wall A circumferential, axially extending, cylindrical vertical filter is provided a short radial distance, e.g. between 1 and 20 millimetre internally from, parallel and concentrically with, the upright vessel wall, providing a torus like flow gap concentrical with the upright vessel wall.

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.
