A novel stirring and mixing device generally comprises at least one central blade holder with at least one extended arm that can interchangeably or permanently accept at least one stirring and mixing blade; at least one threaded spindle; and at least one thumbscrew locknut or other similar fasteners that may be the knob or handle of the lid of a food preparation container. Central blade holders of various sizes and shapes have extended arms of various sizes and shapes configured to interchangeably and adjustably accept stirring and mixing blades of various sizes and shapes. Various elements of the stirring and mixing device are configured with a threaded or unthreaded aperture to receive a threaded spindle that can adjustably maintain the position of the elements relative to one another and to the lid of the food preparation container as the elements rotate around the axis provided by the threaded spindle.

A mixing device includes a base, shaft, impeller sleeve, and impeller blades. The base can be constructed for releasable attachment to an opening of a container, such as a 55-gallon drum. The shaft extends from the base and is coupled thereto such that rotation can be transmitted to the shaft by way of or through the base. The impeller sleeve is mounted on the shaft and supports the impeller blades. Each impeller blade includes an attachment leg and a stirring leg extending from the attachment leg. The impeller blades are supported so as to transition from a collapsed position with the stirring leg proximal to a central axis of the shaft to an extended position with the stirring leg distal from the central axis when the shaft is rotated. Each impeller blade can be formed of a plastic, such as a glass-filled polypropylene or glass-filled nylon.

Provided is a highly efficient pipe-type flocculation mixer, comprising: a feeding pipe, a mixing pipe, a discharging pipe and a mixer. The feeding pipe, the mixing pipe and the discharging pipe are disposed in parallel and sequentially communicated. The mixing pipe is a circular pipe and has two blind ends. The mixer comprises a driving motor, a mixing blade and a central shaft. One end of the central shaft is coupled to the driving motor, and another end of the central shaft is coupled to the mixing blade. The size of the mixing blade enables the mixing pipe to exactly accommodate the mixing blade. Also provided is a feeding-mixing device, wherein an agent can be introduced into a hollow central shaft via an agent feeding chamber, and be sprayed out from the central shaft into a mixing chamber; said agent feeding manner enables sufficient mixing.

A swizzle stick or drink stirring device includes an elongated member having a first end and a second end and at least one pair of opposed mixing blade segments extending outward from the elongated member and adjacent the second end. Plural opposed pairs of mixing blade segments may be spaced from one another near the lower end of the elongated member. Each opposed pair of mixing blade segments has a common axis that is generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongated member. The mixing blade segments have a distal end that terminates in a generally loop-like or paddle-shaped end.

A cartridge for dispensing a fluid is provided, the cartridge comprising: a reservoir chamber configured for receiving the fluid, the reservoir chamber having a fluid outlet and a cover with a first bearing; and a stirring assembly comprising a stirrer located inside the reservoir chamber, the stirring assembly comprising a shaft connected to the stirrer. The stirring assembly can be moved between first and second positions, wherein in the first position the stirring assembly can seal the fluid outlet, the stirring assembly in the first position being configured to form a second bearing with the reservoir chamber or the fluid outlet such that the stirrer can be rotated about an axis defined by the first and second bearing, and wherein if the stirring assembly is in the second position the fluid can pass through the fluid outlet, the shaft being configured to transmit rotational power to the stirrer.

This disclosure relates to equipment utilized to manufacture chemical agents, particularly biopharmaceuticals. In some embodiments, reactor systems comprising a mobile carriage assembly; a disposable reaction container removably attached to the carriage assembly; and, a carriage holder into which the mobile carriage assembly may be removably inserted are provided.

An agitator device, in particular a non-close-clearance agitator device, in particular with respect to a vessel wall, in particular for mixing low-viscosity to medium-viscosity media, having at least one agitation shaft and having at least one outer agitation blade which is held on the agitation shaft and which in at least one section is implemented so as to be arm-shaped.

The agitator device has an inner agitation blade which conjointly with the outer agitation blade implements at least one van-type conveying unit which is at least configured for conveying a medium in at least one direction parallel with the agitation shaft and in particular in at least one further direction perpendicular to the agitation shaft.

Problem: A mixing device is provided which can solve problems resulting from friction between a vessel and a stirrer, which can generate a circulatory flow even below the stirrer, and which allows a desired number of stirrers to be arranged at desired positions. A discharge device provided with the mixing device, and a discharge method are also provided. Solution: The mixing device includes a stirrer incorporating a magnet, a stirrer holding mechanism that specifies a position of the stirrer by exerting a magnetic force on the stirrer from the lateral side, and a rotation mechanism that rotates the stirrer holding mechanism, wherein the rotation mechanism rotates the stirrer holding mechanism, thereby rotating the stirrer. The discharge device includes the mixing device, and the discharge method is carried out using the discharge device.

A mixer (1) comprises a drum (2) having at least one inlet (6) and one outlet (7). The mixer (1) furthermore comprises a drive (3) and a stirring shaft (4), which is arranged in the drum (2) and is coupled to the drive (3). Furthermore, the mixer (1) comprises a conveying device (5), which is arranged in the drum (2) and which is arranged on one and the same axis as the stirring shaft (4).

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.
