The piston pump is connected with the color paste bags to achieve volume injection, the wheel-type turntable drives the color paste bags to perform a circular motion, so that the color paste in the color paste bags are turned up and down to achieve an even mixing effect, no stirring device needs to be added, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced, the plunger valves are arranged in the color paste bags, the air in the color paste bags is extracted through the air suction cylinder to ensure that there is no air in the color paste bags, to prevent the color paste from deteriorating and to prolong the service life of the color paste.

A method for obtaining and applying a sealing gasket element on a slide-valve sliding in a cavity of an apparatus for the recirculation and mixing of chemically reactive polymeric components, comprises the steps of: obtaining from an elastic-plastic material a precursor element of the seal element, with a grid structure having a reticular shape; positioning the precursor element around the slide-valve; exerting on the precursor element, through temporary clamping elements, a radial compression and contraction action to insert it and couple it to one or more housing seats provided on the slide-valve so as to obtain the seal element well coupled to the latter; progressively removing the clamping elements to sequentially release successive parts of the gasket element and gradually free the slide-valve to gradually introduce the parts of the slide-valvefreed in successionin the housing cavity allowing the sealing gasket element to gradually expand radially due to the elastic return by adhering tightly to the inner surface of the same housing cavity. The special equipment for fitting the sealing gasket element on the slide-valve and the so obtained recirculation and mixing apparatus is also described.

A container for two or more viscous materials is provided that contains a reservoir, one or more mixing tube(s) and frame or shield, with one or more apertures arranged within the mixing tube. The container can include a frame and a first and second polymeric film joined to a first and, respectively second surface of the frame by one or more adhesive or seal seams.

An apparatus for mixing a liquid and a substance, including a housing with a liquid inlet and a substance inlet to a mixing chamber, an outlet for a mixture of liquid and substance, and a flow restrictor arranged in the housing, between the liquid inlet and the mixing chamber. The flow restrictor is controllable to switch between a first position providing a first through flow area configured to create a Venturi effect such that a flow of the liquid draws the substance into the mixing chamber, and a second position providing a second through flow area that is larger than the first through flow area to thereby decrease a pressure drop caused by the flow restrictor.

Labor-saving paint mixing cover comprises a paint outlet mechanism used to control outflow of a paint material, two or more pressing mechanisms pressing together a paint container and a cover. Each of the pressing mechanisms comprises: a through hole on the cover; a pressing rod passing through the through hole; a sealing sleeve sleeved over the pressing rod, and comprising a sealing sleeve folded edge pressing on the cover; a compression spring sleeved over the pressing rod between the sealing sleeve folded edge of the sealing sleeve and a handle at the upper end of the pressing rod; and a pressing foot located at the lower end of the pressing rod. The handle at the upper end of the pressing rod is a cam lifting handle comprising the upper end of the pressing rod and a cam hinged thereto. A cam surface of the cam lifting handle is in contact with an upper surface of a cam base. The cam base is a movable sleeve sleeved around the pressing rod. A movable sleeve folded edge is provided on the movable sleeve. An upper end of the compression spring presses against said folded edge of the movable sleeve.

A method for controlling pressure in a blending apparatus includes sealingly coupling a blade platform to a rim of a vessel including foodstuffs to form a blending chamber. The blade platform includes a blade assembly. The method includes injecting fluid via an opening defined within the blade platform into the blending chamber while the blade platform is sealingly coupled to the vessel. The injection of fluid causes a change in pressure in the blending chamber. The method includes rotating blades of the blade assembly to process the foodstuffs in the blending chamber. The method includes introducing air into the blending chamber to decrease a difference between the pressure within the blending chamber and a pressure external to the blending chamber. The method includes decoupling the blade platform from the rim.

A mixing machine includes a mixing head and at least one connection means for connecting a mixing container containing material to be mixed to said mixing head for forming a closed mixing container. The mixing head, as part of a pivotable assembly, is pivotably mounted with respect to a frame such that the closed mixing container formed from the mixing head and the mixing container can be pivoted relative to the frame for performing the mixing process. The mixing head carries at least one rotationally-driven mixing tool. The mixing head comprises a head plate having a connecting flange molded thereon which is configured as an annular disc and comprises a planar contact surface. The contact surface of said connecting flange has a radial extension such that mixing containers with different connection diameters on their mixing head connection side can be connected to said mixing head. The at least one connection means is configured for gripping mixing containers which differ in the diameter of their connection sides.

Apparatus that mixes non-homogenous fluid. A threaded shaft within a housing circulates fluid within a container to effect mixing. In one embodiment, when placed in a container of fluid, the housing the fluid is recirculated through opposing ends of the housing. In an embodiment of a related method for mixing, a pump housing containing a screw journaled for rotation receives fluid within a container and conveys the fluid therethrough to circulate a fluid portion in the container along an exterior surface of the housing for mixing with another fluid portion to improve fluid homogeneity. After mixing, the portion of the fluid which first circulates through the housing may recirculate through the housing with said another portion of the fluid. The fluid may be continuously mixed and recirculated through the housing.

A combination crystallizer washer filter dryer device and methods of using the device for producing washed and dried product of a reaction are disclosed. The device consolidates the functions of a crystallizer with the filtering, washing, and drying steps to a single vessel, eliminating the need for an additional crystallizer separate from the filter washer dryer device, the transfer of a reaction product or crystallized product from a crystallizer to a subsequent vessel for completing the filtering, washing, and drying process of the solid phase of the slurry.
