An appliance for processing food including a vessel with walls that defines chamber in which foods to be processed are received, and a working part arranged in the chamber, which can be driven to process the foods, wherein the chamber defined by the walls has a form which is substantially a spherical segment at least in part, wherein the spherical segment form surrounds the working part.

The invention relates to a device (1) having a base station (2) and at least one processing unit (3) that can be detached from the base station (2), having a tool (4) for processing a medium, wherein the processing unit (3) is provided with a vessel (5) for receiving the medium, a closure unit (6) for closing the vessel (5) and a sensor device (13) for measuring at least one parameter of the medium, wherein the sensor device (13) is disposed in and/or on the vessel (5) in a stationary manner such that a reliable measurement of a parameter can be carried out simultaneously with processing of the medium, and in that the device (1) has a wireless module (7) for producing a wireless connection between the base station (2) and the processing unit (3) at least for transmitting data.

A blending system is shown and described herein. The blending system may include a base including a motor, a blade assembly selectively and operably engaged with the base, where the motor drives the blade assembly, and a container having a cavity. The container includes a flute protruding from an inner surface. An exaggerated flute may extend closer to the blade assembly than the flute.

A device aerates a drinkable liquid inside a handheld container. An aerator is detachably mounted on the container in a mounted position. The aerator has an aerator portion that extends into the liquid and that is held adjacent an interior surface of a side wall of the container in the mounted position. The aerator portion has a multitude of turbulence-inducing agitating elements, such as pores, through which the liquid in the container flows to, and impacts against, the interior surface of the side wall of the container, and mixes with ambient air in the container, when the container is manually swirled to aerate the liquid.

A mixing apparatus is for selective mixing of contents. The mixing apparatus has a body that defines an interior space. The body further has an aperture for permitting access to the interior space. The body has at least a portion that is collapsible and configured to be gripped and repositioned by a user to collapse a part of the body into the interior space to alter at least one of: the volume of the interior space; and the shape of the interior space. The mixing apparatus further has at least one mixing member located within the interior space that is configured and located so that the contents is forced against the at least one mixing member when the collapsible portion is gripped and repositioned by a user.

The invention discloses an agitation device comprising an impeller, an agitating shaft and a power device. The impeller includes a disc, a hub and concave blades. Each blade consists of a concave surface which extends radially and has an annular sector-like shape, the projections of the upper and lower portions of the blade in the horizontal plane are two annular sectors, and the radian of the annular sector obtained by the projection of the upper portion is larger than that of the lower portion, and the annular sector-like shape and the rotation direction of blades are the same, so that each portion of the blades directly faces an incoming flow, the utilization efficiency of blades is increased and the impeller has low energy consumption and high gas-liquid dispersion efficiency. The device is efficient and energy-saving, has low power consumption, high mixing performance and high gas holdup and mass transfer performance.

A system for processing foodstuffs includes a container platform, a blade platform, and a locking mechanism. The container platform defines a container receptacle configured to receive a container including foodstuffs. The blade platform includes blades configured to rotate to process the foodstuffs. The locking mechanism is configured to couple the container platform to the blade platform to form a blending chamber including the blades and the container subsequent to determining that the container is received by the container receptacle and prior to rotation of the blades.

A stirring device includes a tank, a first stirring mechanism, a second stirring mechanism, and a flow blocking mechanism located in the tank and arranged on a side wall of the tank. A first stirring shaft of the first stirring mechanism is located in a middle part of the tank, and one end of the first stirring shaft is provided with a radial-flow stirring paddle located in the tank. A second stirring shaft of the second stirring mechanism is located on one side of the first stirring shaft. The second stirring shaft and the first stirring shaft are arranged in a radial direction of the tank. One end of the second stirring shaft is provided with an axial-flow stirring paddle located in the tank. The flow blocking mechanism is configured to block movement of materials in the tank.

A dual-axis mixer for food products includes a product holder that is configured to hold a sealed product cup containing a food product to be mixed. The mixer has a primary axis of rotation about a central axis, and a secondary axis of rotation radially offset from the central axis. In doing so, the secondary axis positioned to rotate around the primary axis. Furthermore, the product holder is located at the secondary axis and is configured to rotate about the secondary axis. Rotation about the primary axis applies centripetal force to the food product, and the secondary axis rotates the product holder to churn the food product within the product cup.

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.
