A mixing container with an internal mixing blade has an extraction funnel, a main housing, a rotatable base cap, a mixing blade and a gear mechanism. The extraction funnel has a first end with a maximum diameter and narrowing to a second end of a minimum diameter at a neck portion. The main housing includes a mixing chamber. The rotatable base cap with an internal gear is attached to and is rotatable relative to the main housing. The mixing blade has a plurality of prongs extending from a shaft. The prongs are in the mixing chamber and the shaft extends through an opening in the main housing to inside the rotatable base cap. The gear mechanism has at least one gear, each of the at least one gears is connected to or intermeshed with the internal gear of the base cap and the gear of the shaft end.

A stirring element device, in particular for mixing media with a wide range of viscosities, in particular for a polycondensation reactor, includes at least one inner stirring blade and at least one outer stirring blade which are rotatable about a common axis of rotation, wherein at least the inner stirring blade is inclined at least section-wise relative to the axis of rotation. The inner stirring blade is arranged entirely in a subregion around the axis of rotation which is equivalent to a cylinder sector with a circular sector of less than 360 as base area.

A system and method for stirring molten material such as glass are provided. To prevent sagging of a cover of a stirring system, a portion where deformation or sagging may significantly occur is suspended by a suspension system, so that local sagging and deformation of the cover is suppressed. As a result, a crack which may occur in the cover is suppressed, and therefore, contamination of the molten material is likewise suppressed.

An agitator for an apparatus for the manufacture of three-dimensional objects. The agitator comprises at least one blade coupled to a shaft, and extending outwardly from the shaft. Cavities are defined between the at least one blade and the shaft, such that movement of the agitator within a powder repository keeps the powder in a fluidised state and prevents the powder from agglomerating.

The present invention relates to a stirring rod of hot and cold foods supplying machine and an assembled stirring unit thereof. The assembled stirring unit includes an assembled piece and a stirring blade, wherein a length direction of the assembled piece is an axial direction, a direction perpendicular to the axial direction is a radial direction, and the assembled piece has a first joining piece and a second joining piece respectively at two ends thereof in the axial direction. The stirring blade is provided on the assembled piece and extends towards the radial direction, and the stirring blade is twisted at an angle by having the radial direction as an axis. The stirring rod is formed by serially connecting multiple assembled stirring units along the axial direction.

Methods and apparatus for the treatment of animal waste are disclosed, together with a treated animal waste and fertilizer and growth media products derived therefrom.

A dynamic mixer attachment is disclosed, which is adapted for use with conventional multi-component cartridges. The mixer has dispensing and drive axes that are offset relative to each other to enable use of the mixer with conventional multi-component cartridges. Also disclosed is a dispenser adapted for use with the mixer attachment and conventional multi-component cartridges.

A machine used for making liquid or semi-liquid food products, specifically ice cream, comprises a container for processing liquid or semi-liquid base products by means of a stirring device driven by a motor. The stirring device comprises an external mixing structure to which a shaft is fixed so that the motor can drive it in rotation. Keyed to the shaft are scraping elements which scrape the product off the inside walls of the processing container.

The present invention is based in part on the discovery of significant improvements to cell culture systems and methods of generating organoids. The system of the invention provides a novel spinning bioreactor platform for higher-throughput 3D culturing of stem cells (e.g., human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) or embryonic stem cells (ESCs)). The system can be widely used as a standard platform to generate stem cell-derived human organoids for any tissue and for high-throughput drug screenings, toxicity testing, and modeling normal human organ development and diseases.

A method for connecting functional elements (14) to a shaft (10, having the following steps: (a) forming elevations (12) for receiving the functional elements (14), said elevations (12) being machined out of the shaft (10) by removing material, and (b) welding the functional elements (14) to the elevations (12) on the shaft (10).
