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.

A device for the mixing fluid media. The device is a bladeless mixer. The device comprises a hollow body with at least a single inlet opening in its bottom and at least a single outflow region in its side. The device is rotated at a speed at which the media due to centrifugal forces enters the device's hollow cavity via the inflow opening or unit. The media is discharged from the cavity through one or more outlet units or openings in the sides or in the top of the device. During mixing the media does not rise above the level of the undisturbed media.

A method for operating a food processing apparatus is provided. The food processing apparatus includes a reaction vessel that has a space that accumulates a liquid reactant used for a food product; a catalytic reactor that includes a reaction tube and a light source; and an introducing tube for introducing the reactant into the reaction vessel. The reaction tube has an outer surface where a photocatalyst is provided. The reaction tube transmits light. The light source generates heat at a time of light emission in which the light source emits light from an inner side of the reaction tube. The method for operating the food processing apparatus includes introducing the reactant into the reaction vessel from the introducing tube. In the introducing, the reactant is introduced up to a position at which a liquid surface of the reactant is positioned higher than an opening portion of the introducing tube.
