A bowl assembly for a base driven appliance, the base driven appliance providing a primary drive coupling for the accessory assembly. The accessory assembly including: a bowl element that defines a reservoir; and a gear-box element having a secondary drive coupling and a secondary driven coupling. The bowl element defines a lower recess that removably receives the gear-box element, such that the primary drive coupling can engage the secondary driven coupling when the bowl assembly is supported by the base driven appliance. The secondary driven coupling is couplable to an accessory element that is operated within the reservoir, and such that the accessory element is operable by rotation of the primary drive coupling.

A method of operating a crystallizing vessel assembly, said vessel assembly having a crystallizing vessel, and a rotor comprising a rotor shaft, said rotor including a plurality of rotor arms, said rotor arms having arms attached to the rotor shaft and scrapers attached at the arms. The crystals are grown on the inside of the vessel and the rotor is rotated to scrape said crystals off. To improve liquid flow inside the crystallizing vessel, a plurality of arms of the rotor arms are hollow arms, each arm of the plurality of arms including an inlet opening that is relatively close to the shaft and an outlet opening that is relatively far from the shaft.

An apparatus for filling a vessel with a multicomponent filling product includes a filler having at least one filling unit set up to introduce the filling product into the vessel, and a filler tank set up for intermediate buffering of the filling product and in fluid connection with the filling unit via a product conduit to supply the filling unit with the filling product; and a mixer set up to blend the filling product from at least two filling product components, wherein the mixer has a circulation conduit; and the mixer has at least one dosage branch set up to introduce one filling product component into the circulation conduit, wherein the mixer has a heat exchanger set up to adjust the temperature of the filling product in the circulation conduit.

The invention provides devices for generating pre-templated instant partitions. The devices may include a shearing mechanism, such as a vortexer, a holder for holding a vessel containing a liquid onto the vortexer, and a temperature control unit for modulating a temperature of the vessel by convection. The invention also provides methods of using such devices to process analyte inside the pre-templated instant partitions.

Provided is a slurry manufacturing method in which a decrease in slurry quality, an increase in running cost, and a decrease in maintainability are suppressed. A slurry manufacturing device includes: a mixing device (suction pump mechanism portion) that mixes a liquid and a powder to manufacture a slurry; a powder supply device that supplies the powder to the mixing device; and a powder dry box, in which an opening portion of the powder supply device is accommodated in the powder dry box.

A system for dispensing a plant-based milk includes a mixing chamber for emulsifying a plant-based paste and water, a plant-based paste storage connected to the mixing chamber via a first conduit, a water storage connected to the mixing chamber via a second conduit, and a cooling system. The system includes a pumping system for moving a prescribed amount of the plant-based paste into the mixing chamber upon receiving an input from a user via a user interface, a flow system for flowing water from the water storage to the mixing chamber, and a control system. The control system receives the input from the user, activates the pumping system and activates the flow system. Further, the control system activates the mixing chamber for emulsifying the plant-based paste and the water, and dispenses the emulsified plant-based mixture of the paste and the water.

A slurry mixing device includes an installation frame, a slurry mixing tank, a slurry feeding tank, a cooling mechanism and a slurry discharging mechanism. The slurry feeding tank is movably arranged under the slurry mixing tank, the cooling mechanism and the slurry discharging mechanism. A mass scale is arranged under the slurry feeding tank. A stirring cavity is formed in the slurry mixing tank, and a stirring paddle is arranged in the stirring cavity. A stirring motor is arranged on the slurry mixing tank. An outlet is arranged on the bottom of the stirring cavity. An oil bath cavity is formed between the slurry mixing tank and the stirring cavity. The cooling mechanism includes a lifting cylinder and a lifting base. The lifting base is provided with a rotating paddle and a rotating motor. The lifting cylinder is arranged on the installation frame.

System and method for dispensing a flowable product are provided. The system includes a mixing chamber having a first inlet, a second inlet and an outlet. The mixing chamber of the system contains a mixing element capable of motion. The system also includes a paste located in an enclosure configured to flow into the mixing chamber via a first channel connected to the first inlet, and a flowable medium configured to flow into the mixing chamber via a second channel connected to the second inlet. The mixing chamber is configured to mix the paste and the flowable medium using the mixing element, thus, producing the flowable product that may be output via the outlet.

Disclosed herein is a device (1) for generating a dispersion of a first phase in a second phase, the device comprising a first inlet (2) for supplying a first phase, which opens into a first chamber (4), a second inlet for supplying a second phase, opening into a second chamber and a dispersion outlet (6) for collecting the dispersion. Furthermore, the device comprises a membrane (7), which separates the first chamber (4) and the second chamber (5) and which comprises a first side (8) facing the first chamber (4) and a second side (9) facing the second chamber (5). The membrane (7) comprises multiple channels (10) extending from the first side (8) to the second side (9), providing a fluidic connection between the first chamber (4) and the second chamber (5). Each channel (10) comprises a channel inlet (11) arranged on the first side (8) mid a channel outlet 812) arranged on the second side (9). The first chamber (4) is typically configured such that a flow rate of the first phase through all of the individual channels (10) is essentially equal.
