A system and method for automatically aerating drinking products, particularly wine, suitable home, business and/or industrial use is described herein. The system of the present invention is specifically designed for aerating wine for human consumption and includes a multipurpose stirring, storing and serving vessel having a captive magnetic stirring impeller coupled thereto and a programmable magnetic stir plate adapted for use therewith.

A mixing apparatus includes a mixing tank configured to receive substances, a rotor arranged in the mixing tank capable of driving a vane to rotate about an axial direction, a stator arranged outside the mixing tank and capable of driving the rotor to contactlessly magnetically rotate about the axial direction and capable of magnetically supporting the rotor with respect to the stator, and a security against tilting device that includes a bar extending in the axial direction and rotationally fixedly connected to the rotor, the security against tilting device having a limiting element fixed with respect to the mixing tank and cooperating with the bar, the security against tilting device being configured such that the bar is capable of rotating with respect to the limiting element and tilting of the rotor is limited by physical contact between the bar and the limiting element.

The present invention provides a stirring device and gear train, the stirring device comprises at least one gear; at least one stirring tube; and at least one connecting portion connecting the gear and the stirring tube. Wherein the gear, the connecting portion, and the stirring portion are hollow, and the gear rotates the stirring tube via the connecting portion. Stirring is performed by utilizing the gear and the stirring tube in the stirring device of the present invention. Not only does the biggest flux be achieved per area, but the problem about cross contamination can also be reduced. In addition, in the gear train, the collimation of the stirring device can be increased by a specific hollow gear and a lengthened hollow bearing train forth in the gear train.

Methods of assembly of and a mixing system for use in a process bottle for mixing its contents, the mixing system including a low volume magnetically-driven mixer mounted at the bottom of the bottle. The mixer may have vanes and lower grooves, or no vanes and grooves on both upper and lower faces. The mixer has a microsized three-dimensional solid inanimate body to enable insertion through relatively small mouth openings at the top of conventional reactor bottles. The methods of assembly involve passing the microsized mixer through an open mouth of a process bottle and coupling the mixer with a bearing assembly at the floor of the bottle. The bearing assembly includes fixtures sealed around a hole in the floor of the bottle. A cap may be assembled to the bottle in a sterile environment to from a consumable assembly which is then enclosed in a sterile package for shipping to a customer. A variety of tube connectors to the cap may be customized for instant use by the customer.

Provided is an apparatus for removing thermal stratification generated by turbulent penetration by using a rotation of an inner ring and an outer ring. The apparatus for removing thermal stratification removes thermal stratification formed in a branch pipe branching from a main pipe through which a high-temperature fluid flows, the apparatus including: a hollow body portion coupled to the branch pipe; an inner ring being magnetic and arranged inside the body portion so that an inner circumferential surface thereof is in contact with a fluid; and an outer ring arranged outside the body portion to face the inner ring, the outer ring being magnetic of a polarity opposite to a polarity of the inner ring, wherein, when the outer ring is rotated, the inner ring rotates by a magnetic force.

The present invention relates to methods and devices for mixing the contents of a mixing container, the device including a container defining a container cavity, the container including a bottom wall supporting a hollow shaft, the shaft supporting an impeller thereon such that the impeller is free to rotate about the shaft, the impeller including a central passageway therethrough for receiving the shaft, the container further including an elongate evacuation tube having a first end positioned within the passageway of the shaft and an opposed second end extending to a port of the container.

A portable warming blender includes a base assembly with a recessed portion; a temperature control system; a detachable agitator rotatably mounted on an axle extending longitudinally into the recessed portion; an electric motor; a rechargeable power system; and a controller. The base assembly includes a housing with a cylindrical sidewall, housing the motor, the power system, and the controller. An inner surface of the recessed portion is threaded. The temperature control system includes a temperature sensor and a heating element. The temperature sensor is mounted adjacent to the axle. The heating element heats the recessed portion. The motor is magnetically coupled with the agitator. The rechargeable power system includes a rechargeable battery and a charging port. The controller selectively transmits power to the temperature control system and the motor from the power system when an operating mode is selected. The blender warms, blends, or both in one device anywhere, anytime.
