In the field of automatic analyzers, as items to be analyzed are increase, various reagents differing in such properties as liquid viscosity and contact angle are being used more frequently, and this trend is expected to continue. Also, reagents now take various forms (e.g., a concentrated reagent to be diluted by the water of an automatic analyzer), and so does dilution water. Such being the case, the invention provides an automatic analyzer capable of sufficient stirring regardless of items to be analyzed. To sufficiently stir a substance to which a reagent has been added, the automatic analyzer is designed to alter stirring conditions after a given amount of time has passed since the addition of that reagent.

The present disclosure provides a stirring system, a stirrer and its clamping device; the clamping device includes: a support link and a clamping mechanism; the clamping mechanism includes a driving unit, a connection assembly and a clamping plate, the driving unit is fixedly connected with the connection assembly and the clamping plate, the clamping plate is used to clamp the experimental product, wherein the driving unit drives the clamping plate to rotate, and drives the experimental product clamped on the clamping plate to rotate. Compared with the prior art, the stirring system, the stirrer and the clamping device provided by the present disclosure can realize the function of fixing and rotating the experimental product during the stirring process by providing a simple clamping device structure, and the structure is reliable and easy to operate, reducing the experimental process of human consumption.

A batch or continuous mixer for mixing powders, immiscible liquids, or a powder with a liquid includes one or more vibrational energy applicators which propagate vibrational energy into the mixture, causing powders to flow like liquids and breaking up liquid droplets and powder clumps. In embodiments, the vibration frequency and amplitude are selected according to properties of the mixture components. Vibrations can be propagated through container walls, impellers, or other structures within the mixing container. Vibrated structures can be flexibly supported for enhanced propagation of the vibrations. Vibrational energy can be uniform throughout the container, or focused in a desired region. Ultrasonic energy can be simultaneously applied with acoustic energy.

An easily assembled blender with an internal frame holding a cupholder elevator assembly, a mix motor assembly, a food preparation chamber, a water heater assembly and a steamer assembly. The water heater and steamer assemblies are preferably on modular trays that slide into the internal frame. The water heater preferably also serves as a hot water reservoir and, to avoid overheating, has its heating coil located near its bottom. To resist scale deposits, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing is preferably used to transport steam from the steamer to the food preparation chamber. To expedite manufacture, a spring-biased idler assembly with a drive belt for the cupholder elevator assembly preferably snaps into a lower receiving port on the internal frame. Crisscrossing infrared light beams are preferably placed at the entrance of the food preparation chamber to detect whether the cup entering the chamber is the correct size and detect whether any foreign object is below the food preparation chamber.

Provided is an ultra-dispersion mixer, for stirring a mixed material for producing a high-quality slurry for an electrode of a secondary battery within a short time by disposing a low-speed blade and a high-speed blade for stirring a mixed material in a chamber so as to easily and effectively disperse elements of the slurry of a secondary battery, supplied to a mixer during a procedure of preparing the slurry of a secondary battery produced by performing mixing procedures multiple times, and disposing blade parts having a plurality of stirring characteristics so as to realize various stirring characteristics in the mixed material on the high-speed blade to increase the dispersion of the mixed material while the mixed material circulates in a high-shear disperser of the chamber and to simultaneously increase the temperature of a supplied solution at the beginning of stirring of the mixed material in the chamber.

A mixing container is disclosed having a moving grip positioned outside of its lid such that the grip is rotatable to allow contents inside the container to pour out or to prevent the pouring of contents.

Bone cement applicators and methods for application of a bone cement dough, the applicators and methods comprise a tubular cartridge with an internal space, a dispensing plunger for expelling the starting components through an opening of the cartridge opposite from the dispensing plunger, wherein the dispensing plunger is mobile in longitudinal direction in the internal space of the cartridge. The applicators and methods further comprise a hose, an application opening, a three-way valve operable from outside and arranged or arrangeable in the hose or on a side of the hose facing the cartridge, and a collecting container arranged on the three-way valve. The three-way valve is designed and arranged or arrangeable in the applicator such that it, being in a first position, provides a fluid connection between the application opening and the opening of the cartridge and closes a feed-through to the collecting container and, being in a second position, provides a fluid connection between the application opening and the collecting container and closes a passage to the opening of the cartridge.

An apparatus and a method for processing slurry are provided. The apparatus includes a support frame including a vertical member and a horizontal member. The apparatus also includes a mounting unit mounted on the vertical member, a mixing chamber disposed on the horizontal member, a controller mounted on the mounting unit, and a stirrer attached to the controller. The mounting unit is operable to position the stirrer with respect to the mixing chamber such that the stirrer is in contact with a slurry in the mixing chamber during the mixing operation.

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.

A batch mixer is equipped with a plunger for pushing material from the batch mixer. The batch mixer includes a mixer tank structured to accommodate material. The mixer further includes a mixer head comprising at least one blade structured to blend the material within the mixer tank. The mixer further includes a plunger mechanism structured to push the blended material directly from the mixer tank.
