A weigh hopper assembly including a plurality of adjacently aligned weigh hoppers connected via a frame, and longitudinal conveyor mechanism extending along a top portion of the weigh hopper assembly. Each weigh hopper has independent load cells in order to individually weigh the material discharged into the weigh hopper. The conveyor mechanism includes a plurality of gates along a bottom surface of the conveyor mechanism, each gate being aligned with a corresponding weigh hopper of the plurality of weigh hoppers. The conveyor mechanism is in turn connected to a plurality of product bins. A top portion of the conveyor mechanism is in communication with a plurality of product bins via a series of inlet chutes and gates. The weigh hoppers are aligned adjacent to each other and spaced so that each weigh hopper aligns with the transport vehicle.

Mixing systems that include a mixer housing and one or more disk assemblies for mixing and processing materials is disclosed. The disks rotate to mix an additive into the material and to carry agglomerated solids toward a discharge of the mixing system. The disks may have a plurality of fingers or lobes which extend from a central portion of the disks.

Provided is a mixing apparatus. The mixing apparatus comprises a housing defining a primary chamber, an inlet for receiving material into the mixing apparatus, as well as an outlet for discharging material from the mixing apparatus. The housing provides within the primary chamber a plurality of rotating shafts, each rotating shaft having a plurality of flailing fixtures associated therewith.

A preparation apparatus for preparing feed for animals, includes a first storage container for storing a dehydrated feed, a second storage container for storing a liquid such as water, mixing chamber, a mixer for mixing the dehydrated feed and the liquid in order to form a feed ration in paste form, and a consumption container arranged to receive the feed ration, wherein the mixing chamber includes an opening, the mixing chamber is mounted movable relative to the preparation apparatus, so as to move from a first position to a second position.

The invention relates to a mixing and conveying system for dry mortar materials. The dry mortar materials can be obtained from a storage silo (1) through an openable closure panel (3). A pipe (17), in which a drivable screw conveyor (4) is mounted, is arranged under the closure panel (3). The pipe (17) leads into a mixing and buffer container (18), in which a coil (20) is rotatably mounted on a central axis (19). The mixing and buffer container (18) has a volume which equals at least 1.5-times the minute capacity of the pump-screw conveyor (14). It is thus ensured that the dry mortar material is mixed therein with the added water for at least 90 seconds or longer. The mixing and buffer container (18) leads into a pipe (15) at the bottom having a pump-screw conveyor (14) which conveys the mixed mortar into a hose (5). The pump-screw conveyor (14) can be allowed to run backward. The coil (20) runs continually such that the mortar is constantly agitated to prevent setting.

A single liquid protein beverage dispensing system is disclosed that automatically mixes a drink mix powder, such as protein powder, with a chilled or ambient temperature liquid, preferably water, to form a mixed protein liquid beverage or drink of uniform consistency. The system can provide for different amounts of water from a reservoir to be mixed with at least one or up to three different types of protein powders and then dispensed into a beverage container. The system has an electronic user interface by which the user can make various combinations of liquid amounts and powder selections to prepare a mixed drink. An advantageous feature of the system is that, because of the density and moisture content of every powder, the system provides vibration assistance for the powders to agitate during dispensing which prevents clumping of the powder in the liquid during mixing of the powder with the liquid to provide a beverage admixture of uniform consistency.

A waste absorbing media composition for use in an agitating waste non-contact toilet apparatus comprises an absorbent material, a liquid, and an indicator detectable by a sensor of the agitating waste non-contact toilet apparatus.

A fluids delivery system may include a mixing system configured to deliver a fluid to a wellbore; a dry component delivery system configured to deliver a dry component to the mixing system; a liquid additive system configured to deliver a liquid component to the mixing system; and a controls system configured to control the mixing system, the dry additive system and the liquid additive system to produce the fluid.

Continuous compounding systems include a feeding section and a compounding section. Method for compounding or mixing solid matter and liquid matter include providing a continuous compounding system, adding matter to the continuous compounding system, and mixing or compounding the matter.

A system for electric-motor driven transportation mechanism for fracturing operations is disclosed. The system includes at least one transportation mechanism to transport blender components for a blender fluid from a first tub that may be a proppant hopper to a second tub that may be a blender tub and that may be associated with a fracturing blender; an electric motor and a control unit associated with the at least one transportation mechanism; and at least one variable frequency drive (VFD) associated with the electric motors for real time control of a speed associated with the at least one transportation mechanism.
