A system for applying a building material, including: a movement device for modifying a site of application in a space; a first component of the building material; a second component of the building material; and a mixer for mixing the first component and the second component, the mixer including a drive and a mixing chamber provided with a stirrer shaft and a conveyor device, the conveyor device being designed as a screw conveyor with windings, and the mixer being adapted to the building material.

A mobile volumetric concrete mixing system includes a suction system that vacuums up trench spoils while a trench is being cut. These trench spoils are then screened on-site for particle size to be reused and mixed with water, cement, and/or other admixtures at an auger mixer to form a backfill mixture. This backfill mixture may then be loaded into a hopper that continuously agitates the mixture so that the mixture does not harden before pouring. The agitating hopper is coupled to a discharge chute of the auger mixer and includes one or more augers disposed at various orientations that the backfill mixture is channeled through. From the agitating hopper, the backfill mixture is channeled to an applicator that moves along the trench and that enables the mixture to be quickly poured into the trench with little clean-up required.

The invention focuses on a device for sequentially introducing additives in a polymer granulate and the use of the device for mixing the polymer granulate with the additives. The device consisting of a mixer with housing, comprising at least one mixer shaft attached in helix arranged non-continuous conveying pattern shapes, being rotated by a drive for the transport, whereby the mixer in the housing featuring an inlet for the polymer granulate to be mixed and each of the several subsequent inlets for the additive is followed by an outlet for the polymer granulate mixed with the additive, so that two or several mixing zones being formed in the mixer and whereby at least between at two mixing zones on the surface of the mixing shaft one section featuring a continuous screw conveyor instead of the non-continuous conveying pattern shapes, the section not being penetrable for returning solids from the subsequent mixing zone.

A stirring element device, in particular for mixing media with a wide range of viscosities, in particular for a polycondensation reactor, includes at least one inner stirring blade and at least one outer stirring blade which are rotatable about a common axis of rotation, wherein at least the inner stirring blade is inclined at least section-wise relative to the axis of rotation. The inner stirring blade is arranged entirely in a subregion around the axis of rotation which is equivalent to a cylinder sector with a circular sector of less than 360 as base area.

An impeller is usable in a variable diameter bioreactor having multiple vessel sections of successively increasing or decreasing volume. The impeller includes an impeller blade extending along an impeller blade axis between first and second axial ends and having opposed impeller blade faces, an impeller blade leading edge, and an impeller blade trailing edge. Each of the leading and trailing edges defines a helix or spiral between the axial ends of the impeller blade. In certain arrangements, the impeller blade is one of at least two impeller blades joined together along an impeller shaft extending axially along the impeller blade axis mentioned, and the helix or spiral has a pitch approximately equal to one half of a length between the first and second axial ends.

A mixing paddle that is configured to rotate about a horizontal rotation axis and includes at least one eccentric arm which includes a first portion inclined with respect to a plane containing the rotation axis, so as to cause the ingredients contained in the mixing chamber to move in a first axial direction when the mixing paddle rotates in a first direction of rotation, a second portion having a cross section oriented radially with respect to the rotation axis in order, when the mixing paddle rotates in a second direction of rotation, to bring about a radial movement of the ingredients towards the outside of the mixing chamber.

The present invention relates to a stirring rod of hot and cold foods supplying machine and an assembled stirring unit thereof. The assembled stirring unit includes an assembled piece and a stirring blade, wherein a length direction of the assembled piece is an axial direction, a direction perpendicular to the axial direction is a radial direction, and the assembled piece has a first joining piece and a second joining piece respectively at two ends thereof in the axial direction. The stirring blade is provided on the assembled piece and extends towards the radial direction, and the stirring blade is twisted at an angle by having the radial direction as an axis. The stirring rod is formed by serially connecting multiple assembled stirring units along the axial direction.

A reactor is described. The reactor comprises a housing having a reaction space to accommodate a reactant; an outlet pipe connected to a lower part of the reaction space; a rotating shaft disposed in the housing; and a plurality of stirring blades mounted on the rotating shaft. The housing has a lower converging region, and a cross-sectional area of the lower converging region decreases toward the outlet pipe. At least one of the plurality of stirring blades is located in the lower converging region. The outlet pipe includes a first region connected to the lower converging region and a second region extending from the first region in a discharge direction, a cross-sectional area of the first region decreases in a direction from the lower converging region toward the discharge direction, and the second region has a constant cross-sectional area.

The controller that receives at least one sensor signal indicative of a measured profile of a particulate material within a storage tank of an agricultural system. The controller also determines whether a variation between the measured profile and a target profile is greater than a threshold value. The controller outputs a first output signal to a user interface indicative of instructions to inform an operator of a profile variation, outputs a second output signal to an agitator indicative of activation of the agitator, or a combination thereof, in response to determining that the variation between the measured profile and the target profile is greater than the threshold value.
