A system for mixing a liquid with a powder into a solution batch includes a hopper (20) into which said powder is deposited, the hopper (20) having a powder outlet (22) therein. A mix tank (60) is also provided having a liquid supply inlet (62), a recirculation inlet (64), and a solution outlet (66). A mix pump (40) that is in fluid communication with the solution outlet (66), the powder outlet (22), and the recirculation inlet (64) operates to mix and transfer the solution.

A method includes the step of receiving a first weight value from a sensor associated with a feed mixer. A first rotation speed associated with the first weight value is monitored. A second weight value is received from the sensor associated with the feed mixer and a second rotation speed associated with the second weight value is monitored. A mixing profile is generated based on the first weight value, the second weight value, the first rotation speed, and the second rotation speed. In one embodiment, a first feed ingredient is associated with the first weight value and a second feed ingredient is associated with the second weight value.

A capsule for mixing substances includes a chamber having first and second ends. A piston is fitted in the chamber. The piston has a proximal end facing the first end, and a distal end facing the second end. A mixer element is arranged within the chamber between the piston and the second end. The mixer element is disposed at a distal end of a mixer rod. The piston has an aperture through which the mixer rod passes. The piston and mixer element are separately displaceable relative to the first and second ends and relative to each other. The piston includes a plurality of cavities within the piston, such that one cavity is separated from another cavity and filled with a different ingredient substance.

A mixer is provided for mixing a substance in a container. The mixer includes a motor; a frame configured to be controlled by the motor to rotate on an axis; a carrier disposed at a first end of the frame and configured to hold the container; a counterweight disposed at a second end of the frame opposite to the carrier, wherein the counterweight position relative to the axis is adjustable. The mixer may be a stand-alone unit, or it may be disposed in an apparatus for dispensing a cosmetic composition.

The present invention relates to a system and process for a nutraceutical beverage compounding system and methods for the same. Provided is a customizable supplement beverage system and method for personalizing and operating the same to a particular user and optionally for operative tracking. Proposed additionally is an operative system for receiving and individually identifying a concentrate or supplement combinations, for mixing the same prior to a use, and for dispensing the same for use, and for tracking control factors relating to the same.

A system for recalculating a formula previously used in preparing a mixture made from adding at least two components. The system includes a control system and salon management software. The control system has a processor, a computer-readable memory, and a display. The memory contains software configured to receive a formula defining instructions for blending a hair dye mixture using one or more blending materials and amounts recommended for the hair dye mixture. The salon management software is stored in the computer-readable memory and executed by the control system. The salon management software is in communication with the control system to exchange information on customers and formulas of hair dye mixtures associated with the customers.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for mixing by asymmetric rotation using a servo motor to drive the symmetric rotation. The system may include a robotic arm and robotic controller.

A multi-tiered precision powder coating batch system configured to enable simultaneous preparation of a first and second batch of powder coatings. The multi-tiered precision powder coating batch system including a plurality of storage bins configured to store a corresponding plurality of raw materials for preparation of batches of powder coatings, each of the storage bins including an automated dispenser configured to dispense a desired quantity of raw material within the storage bins into a corresponding first raw material container located on a first tier, and a second raw material container located on a second tier, and a robotic arm configured to sequence a transfer of the raw material contents of the first tier raw material containers into a first tier mixing container for preparation of a first batch of a powder coating, and to sequence a transfer of the raw material contents of the second tier raw material containers into a second tier mixing container for a simultaneous preparation of a second batch of a powder coating.

A detachable rib for use in a mixing bowl that provides an obstacle for ingredients being driven around the inside of a mixing bowl. The rib comprises a blade configured to extend in an axial direction along an inner surface of the mixing bowl; and an attachment formation for engaging with a corresponding formation of the mixing bowl, the engagement securing the rib against circumferential movement in at least one rotational direction; such that in use the blade interrupts a path of food being driven around the mixing bowl.
