A method in which a stream of dry cementitious powder from a dry powder feeder passes through a dry cementitious powder inlet conduit to feed a first feed section of a fiber-slurry mixer. An aqueous medium stream passes through at least one aqueous medium stream conduit to feed a first mixing section the fiber-slurry mixer. A stream of reinforcing fibers passes from a fiber feeder through a reinforcing fibers stream conduit to feed a second mixing section of the fiber-slurry mixer. The stream of dry cementitious powder, aqueous medium stream, and stream of reinforcing fibers combine in the fiber-slurry mixer to make a stream of fiber-cement mixture which discharges through a discharge conduit at a downstream end of the mixer.

A blender has a mixing chamber for reception of materials to be blended. A mixing screw is mounted at a bottom of the mixing chamber for mixing materials within the mixing chamber and delivering mixed materials to an outlet feeding a processing line. Heaters are mounted within the mixing chamber for drying blend material in the mixing chamber.

The invention relates to a mixing conveyor for an injection molding system, in particular a thixomolding injection molding system, or the like for conveying a granule-powder mixture, comprising the following: a mixing container (10), with at least one feed (11, 13) for granular material (12) and/or powdery material (14); and at least one mixing device (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) which is designed to mix the granular material (12) and the powdery material (14) to form a granule-powder mixture; and a mixing container outlet (15), which can be arranged in particular in the vicinity of a melting area (51) of the injection molding system (50) or the like, and is designed to discharge the granule-powder mixture or to feed it to the injection molding system (50) or the like for at least partial melting.

A bone filler mixing and delivery device includes a mixing section adapted to mix components to form bone filler. A syringe barrel is coupled to the mixing section and has an opening through which the bone filler can be dispensed. A controllable portal can be manipulated to open a flow path between the mixing section and the syringe barrel. A plunger assembly is adapted to extend telescopically in an axial direction through the syringe barrel to dispense the bone filler through the opening.

A method for producing a transparent thermoplastic resin pellet comprising a step of kneading a transparent thermoplastic resin with a kneader under a condition under which a damage history calculated according to the following formula is 500 to 2,500:
Damage history={Residence time (tr)}{Shear rate ()}
Residence time (tr)=(WHL)/Q
Shear rate ()=(DN)/H
in the formulae, W represents a screw groove width (pitch) [cm]; H represents a screw groove depth [cm]; L represents a screw length [cm]; Q represents a resin supply amount [g/s]; D represents a screw diameter [cm]; and N represents a screw rotation number [rps].

The present invention relates to a process for devolatilising polymer-containing media such as, in particular, polymer melts, polymer solutions and dispersions and also devolatilisation apparatuses for carrying out the abovementioned process.

The invention relates to mixing elements having an increased number of base geometry periods per longitudinal section and an improved dispersing effect for multi-shaft screw extruders comprising screw shafts that co-rotate in pairs. The mixing elements have clearances that are configured according to the method of spatial equidistants or according to the method of longitudinal equidistants. The invention further relates to the use of the mixing elements in multi-shaft screw extruders, a corresponding screw extruder comprising the mixing elements, and a method for extruding plastic masses.

An oral care system including a toothbrush and a dispenser that is detachably coupled thereto. In one aspect, the invention can be an oral care system comprising: a toothbrush comprising a handle, a head and a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the head; and a dispenser detachably coupled to the toothbrush, the dispenser comprising a housing, a first reservoir chamber disposed in the housing containing a first oral care material, and a second reservoir chamber disposed in the housing containing a second oral care material, the second oral care material different than the first oral care material.

A dispenser (800) for dispensing oral care materials comprising: a housing (810) having a separator wall (805) forming a first reservoir chamber (830) containing a first oral care material (831) and a second reservoir chamber (840) containing a second oral care material (841) within the housing (810); a first nozzle (860) for dispensing the first oral care material (831) from the first reservoir chamber (830) and a second nozzle (865) for dispensing the second oral care material (841) from the second reservoir chamber (840), the first and second nozzles (860, 865) located on opposite ends of the dispenser (800); and wherein the first reservoir chamber (830) circumferentially surrounds the second reservoir chamber (840) about a longitudinal axis of the dispenser (800).
