A preparation apparatus includes a first tank, a second tank, a preparation tank, and a computer having a hardware processor. The first tank contains a first liquid. The second tank contains a second liquid having a lower viscosity than the first liquid. The preparation tank stirs the first liquid supplied from the first tank and the second liquid supplied from the second tank to prepare a preparation liquid. The hardware processor measures a viscosity of the first liquid based on a supply time required to supply a specified amount of the first liquid at a constant pressure from the first tank to the preparation tank, and supplies an amount of the second liquid to the preparation tank based on the measured viscosity of the first liquid so as to cause the preparation liquid to have a target viscosity.

A drink mixer apparatus for easily mixing beverages includes a handle having a handle proximal end, a handle distal end, a handle left side, a handle right side, a handle top side, and a handle bottom side. A battery is coupled within the handle. A motor is coupled within the handle and is in operational communication with the battery. A trigger is coupled to the handle and is in operational communication with the motor. An extension arm is coupled to the handle. The extension arm is coupled to the handle distal end and bends to form an angle between 45°-90°. A mixer shaft is rotatably coupled to the extension arm. A drive line is coupled to the motor and extends through the extension to be in operational communication with the mixer shaft. A mixer paddle is coupled to the mixer shaft.

The present invention relates to a system and method for preparing and dispensing a puree. The system comprises a blending vessel; a pulping element displaceable within said blending vessel, configured to blend ingredients into a puree. The pulping element is preferably a spinnable blade element displaceable within the interior of the blending vessel.

Wastewater treatment systems are disclosed. A wastewater treatment system includes a wastewater conduit disposed in a wastewater treatment vessel, a pump comprising an intake and an outlet connectable to the at least one opening of the wastewater conduit, and an adapter comprising a first end and a second end. The adapter is configured, in a treatment mode, to provide a flow path for wastewater from the wastewater treatment vessel through the adapter and pump to the wastewater conduit. The adapter is further configured to, in a backflush mode, provide a flow path for wastewater through the plurality of nozzles of the wastewater conduit and through the adapter and pump for discharge into the wastewater treatment vessel. Methods of treating wastewater using the system and adapter are disclosed. Methods of retrofitting a wastewater treatment system by providing the adapter are disclosed.

A paint production system produced from pigment pastes and vehicles without prior adjustment. The system includes a volumetric dosing module endowed with automatic volumetric calibrators, at least one continuous processing module that includes a rotary mechanism that moves at least one tank between a mixing station, a continuous adjustment station integrated into a filling station, a cleaning station jointly with a manifold cleaning solvent mist generator and a control center that sends commands to be executed in the volumetric dosing module and continuous processing module units from a set of instructions in a computer program.

The invention concerns a device 51 for mixing at least two components, characterised by the fact that the mixing device 51 comprises two containers 52 and 53 each provided with: a. at least one opening 110 connected by a conduit 55 and provided with a device allowing the available volume of the containers 52 and 53 to be varied alternately, pistons 50 that are able to be moved in opposing directions, so as to transfer the content from one of the containers 52 or 53 into the other container 52 or 53 through the openings 110 and the conduit 55; and b. at least one inlet opening X allowing the at least two components to enter; said mixing device not comprising an additional outlet opening, one of the inlet openings X allowing both at least one component to enter, and the mixture of the at least two components obtained to leave. The invention also concerns a method for mixing cosmetic components using this mixing device and a device for manufacturing and dispensing a customised cosmetic composition comprising said mixing device.

A method for producing a mixture of oil and fluid food product includes placing a funnel into a pressure tank such that a stem of the funnel extends at least halfway down into the pressure tank. The pressure tank is flushed with nitrogen. Oil flows into the pressure tank through the funnel. A flow of nitrogen into the pressure tank is maintained through a side inlet of the pressure tank. Oil is dispensed from a pressure tank into the transfer line flowing a flow of fluid food product from a batch tank. The dispensed oil is dispersed into the flow of fluid food product in a inline shear mixer creating oil-in-fluid food product droplets. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets flow to the batch tank with the flow of fluid food product. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets are distributed in a volume of fluid food product in the batch tank.

An apparatus for extracting cannabis essential oils. A housing is provided for containing trichome material from a cannabis plant, the housing having a sealable opening. A rotatable impeller is disposed in the housing. A container is connected to the housing for collecting essential oils. The process for extracting cannabis essential oils includes the steps of introducing trichome material from the cannabis plant into the housing, introducing water and ice into the housing via an opening therein, and agitating the water and ice and the trichome material to separate and extract essential oils therefrom.

Apparatus for blending and applying plural substances including aggregate onto an environmental substrate is shown and described. The apparatus includes optionally a single power plant, plural pumps each fed by a respective hopper, and a blender blending pumped materials together. Dispensing ratios of the two pumps are mutually adjustable. An onboard air compressor delivers compressed air for atomizing blended materials as they are dispensed with the aggregate. Because materials may be curable or hardenable, flushing is enabled. The apparatus may be a free standing wheeled device.

A tank cleaning nozzle (2) configured to be mounted on a tank (6), wherein said tank cleaning nozzle (2) comprises an inlet (42), an outlet (26) and an interior space (54) being in fluid communication with the inlet (42) and the outlet (26), The tank cleaning nozzle (2) is configured to receive a pressurized liquid (36) through the inlet (42) and inject the liquid (36) through the outlet (26) into the tank (6), The tank cleaning nozzle (2) comprises a moveably arranged closing structure (34, 52) configured to close the outlet (26). The closing structure (34, 52) is arranged and configured to be moved into a position, in which the outlet (26) is provided with a free passage, through which the liquid (36) leaving the outlet (26) is injected into the interior space (54) without colliding with the closing structure (34, 52).
