A continuous ready mix joint or texture compound manufacturing system and a method for continuously manufacturing a ready mix joint or texture compound includes a continuous mixer having an inlet and an outlet, a pump disposed at the outlet of the continuous mixer, and a disperger having an inlet and an outlet. The continuous mixer is adapted to receive at least one dry ingredient and at least one wet ingredient at the inlet and continuously mix the at least one dry ingredient and the at least one wet ingredient to form a mixed composition. The pump is adapted to pump the mixed composition from the outlet of the continuous mixer to the inlet of the disperger. The disperger is adapted to receive the mixed composition and apply a shear force to the mixed composition to form a homogenized, disperged composition.

A method for manufacturing a pelletised mineral product, the method comprising: in a first mixing step, forming a first mixture by mixing the evaporite mineral with non- gelatinised starch under conditions that are insufficient to substantially gelatinise the starch; in a second mixing step, forming a second mixture by mixing the first mixture under conditions that are sufficient to substantially gelatinise the starch comprised within the first mixture; and forming the second mixture into pellets.

The fluid mixing element in accordance with this invention forms a first internal flow channel whose starting end opens on an end surface of one end part and whose terminal end opens on an end surface of the other end part and a second internal flow channel whose starting end opens on a side peripheral surface of a middle part and whose terminal end opens on an end surface of the other end part. It is possible for the fluid mixing element to securely mix a first fluid flowing in a main flow channel with a second fluid flowing in a sub-flow channel by the use of a pipe with a short length with a simple arrangement.

Embodiments of a process for treating a fluid are provided. The process for treating a fluid includes supplying a first fluid to a circulating chamber and introducing a first gas to the first fluid. A portion of the first gas is dissolved in the first fluid and a portion of the first gas is held in a head space portion of the circulating chamber. The process further includes mixing a portion of the first fluid drawn out from the circulating chamber and a portion of the first gas drawn out from the head space portion to form a mixture. The process further includes spraying the mixture back into the circulating chamber by a two-fluid nozzle. In addition, the first gas is further dissolved into the first fluid to form a high conductivity fluid. The process further includes draining the high conductivity fluid from the circulating chamber.

Provided is a liquid medication dispensing machine that can shorten the time to supply a liquid medication to a prescription bottle. The liquid medication dispensing machine is a liquid medication dispensing machine supplying a liquid medication from a liquid medication bottle containing the liquid medication to a prescription bottle, including a liquid medication stirring unit that stirs the liquid medication in the liquid medication bottle, a bottle holding unit that holds a plurality of liquid medication bottles including a first bottle containing a liquid medication G and a second bottle containing a liquid medication B, and a control unit that controls operation of the liquid medication dispensing machine. The control unit operates the liquid medication stirring unit to stir liquid medication B while liquid medication G is supplied from the first bottle to the prescription bottle.

A tintometric machine includes an external frame made from rigid material, which defines an internal area. The internal area houses at least one dispenser system, which can dispense at least one fluid, such as paint or dye, into a vessel or container. The dispenser system of the tintometric machine, includes one or more dispenser mechanisms and a plurality of canisters or containers. Each of the dispenser mechanisms includes at least one pump and at least one valve assembly, and the canisters or containers are connected to one or more dispenser mechanisms. The external frame of the machine has a shell-shaped structure that can be opened to divide the machine into at least two portions. Each portion contains a part of the dispenser system. By dividing the machine into portions, an inspection area is defined between the portions, which is accessible to an operator.

Assembly of a tintometric machine and a trolley includes an external frame and a dispenser system. The dispenser system dispenses a fluid into a vessel or container, when the vessel or container is positioned in a dispensing station. The trolley includes: a supporting top, whereon the container can be positioned; rotary elements allowing the trolley to move; a gripping element, through which the user can grip the trolley and move it. The dispensing station has a housing into which the trolley can be positioned. The assembly includes a plug-socket system, wherein a first part of the system is located on the trolley and a second part is located in the dispensing station. The parts of the system can be assembled together when the trolley is placed into the housing of the dispensing station, for the purpose of conducting an electric current. The trolley includes an actuating device that can move the supporting top.

A dispenser machine includes a dispenser device with a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes at least one distribution duct, at least one distribution nozzle connected to a second end of the distribution duct, at least one first shutter, and at least one valve body, operationally interposed along the distribution duct. The valve assembly includes a closing device for closing the nozzle. The closing device has at least one obstructing element acting upon an aperture of the nozzle for selectively opening or closing the nozzle, and a mechanical connector for connecting the obstructing element to the first shutter, so that switching the shutter will cause the obstructing element to be switched. The shutter is adapted to translate within the valve body between first and second configurations, causing the corresponding obstructing element to switch, respectively, between the closed condition and the open condition.
