A computer numerically controlled flow resistance system based on container features and properties of food ingredients comprises a mixing chamber, a stirring element, a pushing plate and a resetting element. The mixing chamber is communicated to sources of food ingredients of various colors, and the stirring element is disposed in the mixing chamber for stirring the food ingredients of various colors, so that the food ingredients after mixing have a desired color. The pushing plate is used to extrude the stirred food ingredients in the mixing chamber to a pastry tip of a pastry extrusion head. The resetting element makes a piston cylinder move to an extruding position according to an extrusion signal of a controller, and when the pushing plate stops displacing, the resetting element makes the piston cylinder move to a flow resistance position according to a flow resistance signal of the controller.

A positive displacement mixer and method for mixing a product that mixes at least two materials into a homogenous product. The positive displacement mixer has at least one positive displacement element having a length, a primary compartment, and a moving element, and two or more minor positive displacement elements each having a length, a minor compartment, and a moving element. The primary compartment and the minor compartments are fluidly connected and during mixing the primary compartment and minor compartments are closed to the atmosphere.

According to one example, a valve for an apparatus configured to mix bone cement is disclosed. The valve can include a base defining a first portion of a passage. The passage can be configured to allow a component of the bone cement through the valve. The valve can include a projection extending from the base to a base opposing end and forming a second portion of the passage that communicates with the first portion. The projection can have a frustoconically shaped surface that comprises one of an outer surface or an inner surface that forms a part of the second portion of the passage.

A capsule for mixing multiple substances, comprising: a main chamber having a main chamber bottom and a main chamber top opening; at least two repository tubular chambers, each: adapted to contain substance, mechanically connected to the main chamber and having a repository tubular chamber top opening; at least two passages, each fluidly connecting one of the at least two repository tubular chambers to the main chamber; a main piston fitted in the main chamber; and a mixer rod having a mixer element disposed at a distal end and a torque adapter disposed at a proximal end for transferring a torque to the mixer element, the mixer rod is fitted to pass along the main piston such that the mixer element is mounted in the main chamber between the main chamber bottom and a distal end of the main piston when the main piston is in the outward position.

The invention relates to a mixing capsule (1) comprising a first chamber (2) to receive a composition A and a second chamber (3) to receive a composition B, characterised in that the first chamber (2) and the second chamber (3) are arranged rotatably about the longitudinal axis (5) of the mixing capsule (1), the first chamber (2) comprising a first opening (25), the second chamber (3) comprising a second opening (26), the first opening (25) and the second opening (26) being arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (5) and plan-parallelly to each other and/or perpendicularly spaced, the first opening (25) and the second opening (26) being arranged incongruently to each other in a storage position (4), the first opening (25) and the second opening (26) being arranged congruently to each other in a handling position (6). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for mixing at least two compositions A and B to a composition C in a mixing capsule and to a use of the mixing capsule.

A machine for brewing and cooling a beverage includes a housing, a refrigeration system, a first nest, a second nest, a fluid system, and a dispensing port. The first and second nests are arranged in the housing and include first and second recesses, respectively. The second nest has walls defining the second recess. The refrigeration system is located within the machine and is confirmed to cool the walls of the second nest. The fluid system is configured to transfer water to the first recess of the first nest. The dispensing port is fluidly connected with the recess of the first nest.
