A dispensing system includes a container containing a flowable base formulation to be dispensed, an additive mixing device, and an actuable pump engine which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body with an internal cavity, an additive ingredient within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber between an input and an output. With each pump of the device the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.

A liquid dispensing and vending apparatus comprises filling module(s), user container holder(s), positioning mechanism(s) and controller module(s). The filling module(s) comprise: machine container(s) configured to hold liquid(s), nozzle(s) configured to dispense liquid(s) to user container(s), and measuring pump module(s) configured to pump a measured amount of liquid(s) from machine container(s) to nozzle(s). The user container holder(s) are configured to hold user container(s). Positioning mechanism(s) align user container holder(s) with filing module(s). Controller module(s) execute production instructions causing liquid formulations to be dispensed into user container(s).

A feeding container includes a container body 51, 52 capable of accommodating contents, and a nozzle 54 provided in an upper portion of the container body, and the contents accommodated in the container body is discharged from the nozzle 54. The nozzle 54 extends in a horizontal direction, and pushes out the contents in the horizontal direction via a discharge hole opening in the horizontal direction, and a projection 543 which projects in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the nozzle is provided on an extending side surface of the nozzle.

A fluid formulation assembly for a formulation dispenser includes a fluid container configured to store a volume of fluid cosmetic formulation, a drive assembly operatively connectable to the fluid container and configured to dispense the fluid cosmetic formulation, and a carriage that receives the fluid container and is configured to interface with the drive assembly. The fluid container is removably attachable with the carriage without tools and at least one of the drive assembly or the carriage is removably attachable with the cosmetic formulation dispenser.

The disclosure relates to a mixing device and a liquid mixing method. The mixing device comprises a first clamping assembly, a second clamping assembly and a driving assembly, the first clamping assembly is used for fixing a first container containing a first liquid, the second clamping assembly is used for fixing a second container containing a second liquid, the first container and the second container are in communication, the driving assembly drives the first liquid and the second liquid to flow back and forth between the first container and the second container to complete a predetermined degree of mixing to form a third liquid. The flow speed of the first liquid and the second liquid driven by the driving assembly is accurately controlled, so that an iodized oil emulsion with better physical and chemical characteristics is prepared, and an emulsion with better emulsifying effect and treatment effect is obtained.

A homogenizer for liquid food includes a homogenization device having a gap formed between a seat and a forcer. A pump is configured to provide a pressure for forcing the liquid food through the gap and thereby homogenize the liquid food. The homogenizer includes an accumulator, wherein the pump is connected to the accumulator to accumulate a pressure in the accumulator. A cylinder arrangement is connected to the accumulator and to the homogenization device. The cylinder arrangement includes a piston that is configured to push a volume of the liquid food through the gap. A valve is arranged to release pressure accumulated in the accumulator, such that the released pressure actuates the piston to push the volume of the liquid food through the gap.

A dispensing system (2000), includes a container (900) containing a flowable base formulation (910) to be dispensed, an additive mixing device (2004), and an actuable pump engine (2002) which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body (2022) with an internal cavity (2052), an additive ingredient (2054) within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber (2058) between an input and an output. With each pump of the device (2004) the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices (2004) may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.
