The present invention relates to a mixing device (1), especially for mixing solids in a mixing vessel (2), comprising a stirring element (4) having at least two helical stirrer blades (7, 8) connected to a motor-driven shaft (5), wherein the stirrer blades (7, 8) have a first portion (10), a second portion (11) and a third portion (12), every one of these portions (10, 11, 12) has a constant gradient (m1, m2, m3) of one steepness or a gradient (m1, m2, m3) which is different from the constant gradient and has a curvature, and at least one of the constant gradients (m1, m2, m3) has a steepness different from the at least one other constant gradient (m1, m2, m3), or one of the different gradients (m1, m2, m3) has a curvature that is different from the at least one other different gradient (m1, m2, m3).

An apparatus for accommodation and dispensing of miscible materials has an accommodation vessel having a lower region in the form of a truncated cone, with a lower discharge opening in the direction of gravity, and ha a mixing mechanism shaft disposed centrally in a mixing space, which shaft has at least one mixing mechanism that revolves in the accommodation vessel. The discharge opening is provided with a displacer apparatus that projects into the interior of the lower region of the accommodation vessel. The lower end of the mixing screw or mixing spiral of the mixing mechanism projects into the approximately V-shaped channel between the lower vessel wall and the displacer apparatus.

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.

Disclosed is a deagglomeration apparatus, to improve the quality of a mixture used for the production of concrete blocks. An illustrative embodiment of the deagglomerator comprises a vertical shaft high-shear mixer, wherein a rotational force (hydraulic or electric) is mounted to a vertical shaft onto which are mounted chains and/or knives, housed within a flexible rubber boot or tube. The deagglomerator is configured to be controllably powered, to rotate the shaft and the attached tools. Partially mixed formula is introduced to a top region of the deagglomerator, and falls downwardly past the rotating tools wherein the formula is pulverized and mixed, before exiting the lower area of the mixing region.

A brine maker including a hopper having upper and lower ends with a receiving tank positioned below the hopper. The forward end of the receiving tank has an opening formed therein. An elbow fitting is positioned in the opening in the forward end of the receiving tank and is welded to the forward end of the receiving tank. The elbow fitting includes a vertically disposed hollow upper portion which is positioned in the receiving tank and a horizontally disposed hollow lower portion which is positioned in the opening in the forward end of the receiving tank. The horizontally disposed hollow lower portion of the elbow fitting is fluidly connected to a pump. A shield is secured to the inner side of the forward end of the receiving tank above the upper end of the vertically disposed hollow upper portion of the elbow fitting.

A continuous asphalt mixture production plant based on double-horizontal-shaft forced mixing includes a cold aggregate bin, a continuous aggregate conveying and metering system, a drying drum, an aggregate elevator, a double-horizontal-shaft continuous mixing host, a continuous asphalt metering and conveying system, a continuous powder conveying and metering system and a finished product bin. The double-horizontal-shaft continuous mixing host includes a first double-horizontal-shaft mixing cylinder and a second double-horizontal-shaft mixing cylinder connected in series. The first double-horizontal-shaft mixing cylinder is provided with an aggregate inlet, an asphalt inlet, a powder inlet and a first discharging port, and the second double-horizontal-shaft mixing cylinder is provided with a mixture inlet and a second discharging port. The aggregate inlet, the asphalt inlet and the powder inlet are respectively connected with an outlet of the aggregate elevator, the continuous asphalt metering and conveying system and the continuous powder conveying and metering system correspondingly.

A mixing funnel for mixing fluids is provided. In one embodiment, the mixing funnel includes a tray having a fluid inlet arranged to receive a primary fluid flow, and first and second fluid passages configured to receive primary fluid flow from the fluid inlet such that the flow is divided to flow along the first and second fluid passages. The first and second fluid passages can be arranged to direct the primary fluid flow to a mixing area. The tray can further include a fluid outlet arranged to receive the primary fluid flow from the mixing area and to deliver the fluid to a container.
