A truffle configured cosmetic article which includes a protective outer shell, an inner volume of cosmetic and a capsule positioned in the cosmetic containing active ingredients. An appliance is adapted to receive the article, heat and blend the article to produce a warm skin formulation which can be applied by the user. The article is produced with the use of a mold. A combination of wax and coconut oil is melted and applied to most of the interior surface of the mold, defining a volume into which a cosmetic is applied as well as a capsule additive. The article is then sealed with additional wax and coconut oil material. The article is then released and ready for use in the appliance or to be wrapped.

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.

A system and method for processing an artificial turf, and a product produced by the method, is provided. The method includes providing an artificial turf having an infill, separating at least a portion of the infill from the artificial turf, downsizing the artificial turf into artificial turf fragments and rotationally mixing and translating, by a melt system, the artificial turf fragments at a pressure less than a maximum predefined pressure to form a melt. The maximum predefined pressure is between about 0.08 - 20 bar.

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.

An agitator rotor includes a shaft, rails, and a rod. The shaft defines a longitudinal axis. The rails extend radially from and are coupled to the shaft. The rails are separated from each other along a length of the shaft. Each rail includes a surface defining a non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The rod includes a first end coupled to a first one of the rails. The rod includes a second end coupled to a second one of the rails. A projection of the first end and the second end of the rod in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft defines a minor arc about a portion of the shaft.

A homogenous mixing apparatus comprises: a circulation unit, a dynamic mixing unit, wherein a feeding port of the first-stage dynamic mixing device communicates with the discharging end of the circulation unit, a discharging port of the third-stage dynamic mixing device communicates with the feeding end of the circulation unit, and each of the dynamic mixing devices comprises a dynamic mixer; and a control unit, configured to be capable of controlling the dynamic mixing unit, so that the dynamic mixers of the first-stage, the second-stage dynamic mixing device, and the third-stage dynamic mixing device are capable of being independently started and shut down and operated at independent rotating speeds, wherein the dynamic mixers each comprise a stator and a rotor, rotating speed ranges of the dynamic mixers of the first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage dynamic mixing device increase in sequence, and distances between the rotors and the stators decrease in sequence.

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).
