An upper member is attached to the lower member, at least one of the upper and lower members having at least one opening for accommodating insertion of an injection port for introducing the foam to the slurry. A cavity is configured for mixing the foam and slurry, and is defined by inner surfaces of the lower member and the upper member.

A food processing system presents a recipient configured for receiving food ingredients and a lid presenting upwards and downwards sides configured to engage with the perimeter of the recipient thereby at least partially closing the recipient, and a driving arrangement confined within a casing and adapted to drive a tool support arranged inside of the recipient, whereby the lid presents a single lid opening advantageously presenting a generally circular form and disposed, e.g., centrally relative to the lid, whereby the upwards side of the lid presents a first surface extending on a generally outer region of the lid and further presents a second surface extending around the opening and developing at a lower level in respect of the first surface, and whereby the lid further presents a flow guiding unit arranged next to the lid opening and adapted to provide a streamlined flow of a fluid poured into the second surface into the recipient when the lid is placed thereupon.

A device for continuously mixing a first powder and a second powder, includes a first metering device for continuously metering the first powder, and a second metering device for continuously metering the second powder, a mixer designed to mix the first powder metered by the first metering device and the second powder metered by the second metering device so as to supply a continuous stream of powder mixed according to a determined ratio, and a sampling device designed to sample a fraction of the stream of mixed powder.

A fully electric-drive sand-mixing apparatus comprises a foundation; and a suction pump, a suction pump driving electric motor, a suction manifold, a mixing stirrer, a mixing stirrer driving electric motor, a dry-ingredient-adding device, a dry-ingredient-adding device driving electric motor, a liquid-adding device, a liquid-adding device driving electric motor, a sand-conveying device, a sand-conveying device driving electric motor, a discharge pump, a discharge pump driving electric motor, a discharge manifold, a frequency converter placement room and an operation room, which are fixedly connected to the foundation. The suction pump driving electric motor, the mixing stirrer driving electric motor, the dry-ingredient-adding device driving electric motor, the liquid-adding device driving electric motor, the sand-conveying device driving electric motor and the discharge pump driving electric motor are fixedly and electrically connected to the suction pump, the mixing stirrer, the dry-ingredient-adding device, the liquid-adding device, the sand-conveying device and the discharge pump, respectively.

In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for managing bulk material efficiently at a well site are provided. The disclosure is directed to a container support frame that is integrated into a blender unit. The support frame is used to receive one or more portable containers of bulk material, and the blender unit may include a gravity feed outlet for outputting bulk material from the containers directly into a mixer of the blender unit. The blender unit with integrated support frame may eliminate the need for any subsequent mechanical conveyance of the bulk material (e.g., via a separate mechanical conveying system or on-blender sand screws) from the containers to the mixer. As such, the integrated blender unit may be lighter weight, take up less space, and have a lower cost and complexity than existing blenders.

The present invention relates to a mixing device for at least two compounds, such as a liquid and a powder for obtaining bone cement, as well as a method of mixing at least two compounds using such mixing device.

The present invention relates to a blender delivery system designed for integration with water bottles. This system facilitates the efficient mixing of supplements, such as protein powders and other nutritional additives, directly into a water bottle without the need for separate blending containers. The delivery device incorporates threading at one end to securely attach to a blender base and an opening at the other end to form a watertight connection with a water bottle. The device's internal volume is designed to receive and mix supplement contents with liquid from the water bottle when connected to a blender base. This configuration allows for a seamless transfer of mixed contents back into the water bottle for easy consumption. This invention addresses the need for a convenient, portable, and mess-free solution to mixing dietary supplements in everyday settings.

A module includes a housing, a sealing feature, a locking feature, and an agitator. The housing has an opening separating inner and outer surfaces and a boss that extends through the housing such that part of the outer surface forms an inner bore of the boss having a terminus pointing toward the opening. The agitator has a base, a shaft, and a mixing element coupled to the base such that the base, in cooperation with the sealing feature, circumferentially seals the opening of the housing to form a cavity defined by the inner surface. The shaft passes through the inner bore. The locking feature when engaged permits independent or simultaneous translational and rotational movement of the shaft while an area between the terminus of the boss and the shaft remains mechanically sealed during the movement against liquid or powder encroachment into a clean area of the inner bore.

A blending appliance includes a housing with a jar receiving area defined between an upper housing and a support base. A blender jar includes a base portion and a receptacle portion, and is configured to be laterally received within the jar receiving area of the housing. A magnetic coupling system includes an upper magnetic coupler disposed in the base portion of the blender jar and a lower magnetic coupler disposed in the support base of the housing. The upper and lower magnetic couplers are magnetically coupled to one another for driving a blade assembly disposed in the receptacle portion of the blender jar. A brake mechanism is disposed on the upper magnetic coupler and is configured to stop rotation of the upper magnetic coupler when the blender jar is removed from the jar receiving area.

A blender tub for hydraulic fracturing operations and associated components are provided. A spinning proppant distributor located above the blender tub liquid level interrupts and redirects falling granular proppant material (e.g. sand) into the tub. A fluid intake channel wraps around at least part of the blender tub outside wall and introduces liquid (e.g. water) into the blender tub via a plurality of channels. The liquid is introduced with a force and angle which imparts a vortex within the blender tub. The above aspects facilitate blending of material within the tub.
