A flight assembly comprising a flight with a curved outer edge portion and a support supporting the flight at an acute angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the flight assembly, wherein the curved outer edge portion when rotated about the longitudinal axis describes a cylinder. The flight assembly is configured to cooperate in a system for blending flowable solid materials, comprising a cylindrical drum body, a drum roller apparatus arranged support and rotate the cylindrical drum body at an angle of inclination and a flight assembly as previously described. Associated methods are also disclosed.

A liquid mixture supplying device is provided for mixing a liquid mixture of a liquid and a powder and supplying the liquid mixture to a spray valve for spraying. The device has a structural design consisting of a containing vessel, a driving device, a dip tube and a scraper. The containing vessel is provided for storing the liquid mixture, and the driving device drives the containing vessel to rotate while a scraper disposed on a side of a dip tube is being used for distributing the liquid mixture. The containing vessel is installed in a tiltable external cavity, and a flow barrier is formed on an inner wall of the containing vessel, and the driving device drives the containing vessel to move by a magnetic force or a transmission shaft, so as to achieve the effect of uniform mixing.

A dispensing container and adapter system for use with a planetary mixer is disclosed. The dispensing container has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. The dispensing container may include a nozzle and a removable cap to cover the nozzle. The removable cap may have a first width dimension measured along the transverse axis. The dispensing container may include a body having a second width dimension measured along the transverse axis. An adapter may receive the dispensing container. The adapter may include a cavity to receive the removable cap. The cavity may have a cavity width that exceeds the first width dimension. The adapter may also include a recess for receiving a portion of the dispensing container. The recess may extend from the cavity. At least a portion of the recess may have a width dimension smaller than both the first width dimension and the second width dimension.

An improved blending apparatus for blending of wood strands in the manufacture of engineered wood products. The blending process is performed with a rotating blending drum with an internal offset spike/paddle roll. The spike/paddle roll is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drum, extends for some, all, or substantially all of the length of the drum, may rotate in either direction, and can rotate independently of or in conjunction with the rotation of the drum. The roll has a central cylinder or rod with a number of paddles, spikes, and/or tines, separately or in combinations, extending from the exterior. The paddles, spikes, and/or tines may extend at various angles and directions, including, but not limited to, substantially right angles. The paddles, spikes, and/or tines may be made of any suitable materials, including, and may be made of different materials. The rod may be driven by an external or internal motor or drive, or powered by the rotation of the drum itself.

The present disclosure relates to a system and process for manufacturing patient personalized pharmaceutical compositions using superimposed revolution and rotation movements for dispersing, milling, melting, and/or de-aerating, where these superimposed revolution and rotation movements can be carried out in a single device in a pharmacy setting.

Disclosed cyclonic flow-inducing pumps overcome drawbacks associated with known adverse flow conditions that arise from flow of certain types of materials through a material flow conduit. Such cyclonic flow-inducing pumps provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit (e.g., a portion of a pipeline, tubing or the like) to have a cyclonic flow (i.e., vortex or swirling) profile. Advantageously, the cyclonic flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing magnitude of laminar flow. Such cyclonic flow profile provides a variety of other advantages as compared to a parabolic flow profile such as, for example, increased flow rate, reduce inner pipeline wear, more uniform inner pipe wear, reduction in energy consumption, reduced or eliminated adverse considerations such as slugging.

Systems and methods for mixing are disclosed. A system for mixing can include a mixer vessel that defines a chamber. The system can include a first mixing blade to cause a first rotational movement to mix a material within the chamber. The system can include a second mixing blade to cause a second rotational movement to mix the material within the chamber of the mixer vessel. The system can include a mixing element to cause a third rotational movement to mix the material within the chamber of the mixer vessel. The system can include the first mixing blade to cause the first rotational movement independent from at least one of the second rotational movement and the third rotational movement.

A mixing drum includes a body defining a head aperture and a discharge aperture opposite the head aperture, a head coupled to the body and extending across the head aperture, and a mixing element positioned within the volume and coupled to the body. The head and the body define a volume. The body is formed from at least a first section and a second section. The first section overlaps the second section.

A stirring container and a stirring apparatus are provided. The stirring container includes a barrel and a plurality of stirring paddles. The barrel is defined with an inner surface, an outer surface, and a center axis. The first opening and a second opening are located at two ends of the center axis; and the paddles are fixed on the inner surface of the barrel and extend from the first opening to the second opening and the extending directions thereof are skewed to the center axis. The stirring apparatus includes the aforesaid stirring container, a supporting structure and a rotation module. The supporting structure connects to the outer surface of the barrel to make the barrel rotatable and covers the second opening. The rotation module connects to the outer surface to rotate the stirring container. Thereby, the stirring container and the stirring apparatus can provide better stirring results.

A mixing device is provided with rotating platform and circumferential guide for quickly and effectively stirring the contents of disposable paper and plastic cups of varying sizes without direct contact with the food beverage contents.
