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 an agitator device having a static unit and a rotational unit which is in the form of an agitator shaft and, in an assembled state, forms together with the static unit at least one common fluid channel for a fluid. It is proposed that a flow cross-section of the fluid channel, viewed along a main course of flow, is at least substantially constant at least in a coupling region between the static unit and the rotational unit.

The invention is related to a device for suspending particles in a fluid, wherein the mixing device includes a first magnet (1) rotating around a longitudinal axis (2), a mixing rod (4) attached to a mount (6), the mount including a second magnet (3), wherein the mount (6) moves in a substantially orthogonal motion to the longitudinal axis of the mixing rod (4) by the interaction of the rotating first magnet with the second magnet (3).

A spray gun for a plural component system is provided. The spray gun includes a first component delivery line and a second component delivery line. The spray gun also includes a nozzle, configured to receive and mix a first component received from the first component delivery line with a second component received from the second component delivery line. The spray gun also includes an air purge system configured to, when the spray gun is in a non-actuated position, purge the nozzle of the first and second components and, when the spray gun is in an actuated position, aid in atomization of the mixture of the first and second components.

A valve for injecting a fluid into a bowl has a vent with an inlet and a flexible diaphragm for covering the discharge opening of the vent. The diaphragm is connected to a vessel body of a bowl, and the vent is connected to a stand of a bowl. The diaphragm has a closing area for closing the discharge opening and a connecting area for connecting the diaphragm with the vessel body spaced to the vent. At least one window is provided between the closing area and the connecting area.

Heaters are mounted within the mixing chamber for drying blend material in the mixing chamber.

A gas mixing system for semiconductor fabrication includes a mixing block. The mixing block defines a gas mixing chamber, a first gas channel fluidly coupled to the gas mixing chamber at a first exit location, and a second gas channel fluidly coupled to the gas mixing chamber at a second exit location, wherein the first exit location is diametrically opposite the second exit location relative to the gas mixing chamber and the second gas channel has a bend of 90 degrees or less between an entrance of the second gas channel and the second exit location.

A method for controlling pressure in a blending apparatus includes sealingly coupling a blade platform to a rim of a vessel including foodstuffs to form a blending chamber. The blade platform includes a blade assembly. The method includes injecting fluid via an opening defined within the blade platform into the blending chamber while the blade platform is sealingly coupled to the vessel. The injection of fluid causes a change in pressure in the blending chamber. The method includes rotating blades of the blade assembly to process the foodstuffs in the blending chamber. The method includes introducing air into the blending chamber to decrease a difference between the pressure within the blending chamber and a pressure external to the blending chamber. The method includes decoupling the blade platform from the rim.

A batch mixer is equipped with a plunger for pushing material from the batch mixer. The batch mixer includes a mixer tank structured to accommodate material. The mixer further includes a mixer head comprising at least one blade structured to blend the material within the mixer tank. The mixer further includes a plunger mechanism structured to push the blended material directly from the mixer tank.
