A reaction cassette and a biochemical assay device are disclosed. The reaction cassette for biochemical assay comprises a housing with structural walls defining a liquid mixing space for accommodating at least one mixing zone, wherein the at least one mixing zones comprises at least one blending structures for generating a vortex phenomenon in liquid, thereby improving the degree of mixture of a liquid sample and a dried reagent.

In order to provide a feed mixture, a feed mixer is proposed which has a container. The container has a bottom and a wall which is connected to the bottom and delimits a filling opening, the area of which is greater than the area of the bottom. A rotatable auger is provided which can be rotated about an axis, the axis running substantially perpendicularly with respect to the bottom. The feed mixer has a pivoting device which is intended and suitable for pivoting the container during a mixing operation, in particular after a predefined time period or after a predefined number of revolutions of the at least one auger.

No new matter is added.

A system for overturning tanks of kneading machines includes an overturning unit provided with means for fixing a tank to itself. The means for fixing has an elastic actuation member, which is loaded by exploiting the downward movement of the overturning unit.

A mixer device 1 includes a drum 3 configured to store materials to be mixed; a device body 4 configured to rotatably support the drum 3; an electric motor 6 configured to apply a rotational driving force to the drum 3; and a battery 8 configured to supply electric power to the electric motor 6, wherein the battery 8 is arranged below the drum 3.

A blender includes a lid having a pouring spout. The lid is configured to rest on an upper edge of a jar to cover the interior cavity and includes an outer ring having an outer rim and an inner rim that define a gap. The upper edge of the jar is configured to fit within the gap. An inner disk is positioned radially inwardly of and fixed to the outer ring. The inner disk including a main panel, an aperture, a wall surrounding the aperture, and a spout wall extending upwardly from the wall. An access assembly comprising a bridge mounted to the inner disk, and a spout lid hingedly attached to the bridge, and positioned to interact with the spout wall to cover the spout wall, is included.

An apparatus for preparing foam or blended media can include a pitcher with a blending mechanism and a blending motor. The blending motor can be configured to actuate the blending mechanism. The pitcher can be configured to receive ingredients therein and the blending mechanism can be configured to blend the ingredients to produce the foam or the blended media. The apparatus can include a base with a rinsing feature configured to spray a liquid into an interior of the pitcher. The apparatus can include one or more pivot arms coupled to the pitcher and the base. The one or more pivot arms can be configured to actuate rotation of the pitcher.
