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.

An apparatus for processing a quantity of glass melt comprises a segmented tube including a first tube segment and a second tube segment. A second end portion of the first tube segment is joined to a first end portion of the second tube segment. In further examples, methods of fabricating a segmented torsion tube include joining together segmented torsion tubes at an integral solid-state joint.

A stirrer having a motor; a hollow shaft that is drivable via the motor and is provided with at least one additive outlet opening, via which an additive passed through the hollow shaft can be discharged; and a rotor arranged on the hollow shaft and having rotor blades, characterized in that a second rotor having rotor blades is provided on the hollow shaft at a distance from the first rotor, and in that the at least one additive outlet opening is provided between the two rotors, wherein the rotors are designed and drivable such that, during operation, a negative pressure and a centrifugal force are generated in the intermediate space defined between the rotors.

Apparatus and methods for food production including a food preconditioner (228) operable to heat and partially pre-cook food ingredients, and a twin screw extruder (20) operable to further cook the preconditioned ingredients to create final food products. The extruder (20) includes a pair of hollow core extrusion screws (50, 52, 124, 126, 190) having elongated hollow core shafts (54, 128, 130, 192) equipped with helical fighting (56, 132, 134, 194) along the lengths thereof. The fighting (132, 134, 194) is also of hollow construction which communicates with the hollow core shafts (54, 128, 130, 192). The flighting (56, 132, 134, 194) also includes forward, reverse pitch sections (64, 162, 216). The extrusion screws (50, 52, 124, 126, 190) are designed to impart high levels of thermal energy into materials being processed in the extruders (20), without adding additional moisture.

A photo-resistor draw device includes a photo-resistor bottle, a sealing cover arranged on an inlet of the bottle, an air tube passing through the sealing cover and being inserted within the photo-resistor bottle, and a photo-resistor draw tube. The photo-resistor bottle further includes a stirring component for stirring the photo-resistors. As the novel photo-resistor draw device includes the stirring component for preventing the high-precision photo-resistor from being subsided. Not only the stability of the color filter products may be enhanced, but also the defects may be eliminated. As such, the yield rate of the products is improved.
