Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and substantially dried product. The apparatus uses a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. The bucket assembly can include a metal housing that has a flat bottom surface with multiple support structures that hold respective impeller assemblies that rotate about respective vertical axes. The impeller assemblies each include cutting structures and other structures designed to mix and agitate matter contained in the bucket assembly. One or more blade arrays can be mounted in a vertical orientation on a side of the metal housing plate and assist in fracture cutting and grinding of contents contained in the bucket.

A system for processing a liquid inside a container includes an external magnet positioned outside the container and sufficiently proximate to the container to direct a magnetic field into the container. An internal magnet positioned inside the container is within the magnetic field of the external magnet. An automated shaft is connected to the external magnet and is configured to rotate the external magnet and induce a corresponding rotation of the internal magnet. At least one baffle is connected to the internal magnet and rotating within the liquid with the corresponding rotation of the internal magnet.

A mixing device of FIG. 1B comprises a multi-element spring system in which an eccentric load, coupled to a rotor of a motor, is located towards a first end of a first beam realising a backbone for the mixing device. One or more connections interconnect the backbone respectively to one or more other beams to produce the multi-element spring system. A load, such as a vial or other container in which is located a diluent, is located remotely from the motor. As such, the spring system supports two independent but complementary eccentric load generating subsystems arising from, respectively, the controlled rotation of the rotor [and its eccentric load] and then, in response to rotation of the connected eccentric load on the rotor, swirling of the diluent in the vial/container. Both these eccentric loads contribute to a complex multidirectional flexing of the multi-element spring system [relative to a fixed anchor point].

A planar vessel mixing system is disclosed. The mixing system may include a mixing vessel, which may be a filter reactor, with a mixing region for receiving mixing substances, which may be liquid or solid. The vessel may include at least one magnetic stir bar to mix the substances. At least one brushless magnetic drive may be disposed externally around the mixing vessel and may be configured to generate a rotating magnetic field to rotate the magnetic stir bar, thereby mixing the mixing substances. The brushless magnetic drive may be adjustable along a length of the mixing vessel. A filter may be disposed at the bottom of the mixing vessel to filter out byproducts from the mixing. Use of the brushless magnetic drive may enable small-scale mixing (e.g., less than 100 mL) by removing the need for an overhead stirrer.

A hand-operated construction mixer, such as a hand-operated stirring machine for stirring and/or mixing construction materials, has a housing and a drive motor accommodated, at least on part, in the housing interior. The drive motor has at least one drive shaft, which is operatively connectable directly or indirectly to a mixing and/or stirring tool. An actuating device is provided, by way of which the drive motor is actuatable. The drive motor, preferably controlled via a control device coupled to the actuating device, is suitable and configured to provide a rotational speed, preferably a load rotational speed, at the drive shaft driving the mixing and/or stirring tool in a range from 200 rpm to 1000 rpm, preferably from 250 rpm to 750 rpm, most preferably from 300 rpm to 650 rpm.

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.
