A dispersing device is provided by which a dispersion with a high yield and a proper dispersing process can be carried out. The dispersing device causes a mixture of a slurry or a liquid to flow by centrifugal force toward an outer circumference between a rotor and a stator. It comprises a container, a cover assembly that closes an upper opening of the container, a stator that is fixed under the cover assembly, a rotor that is disposed to face a lower surface of the stator, and an assembly for supplying the mixture that stores an unprocessed mixture to be supplied to a gap between the rotor and the stator. The assembly for supplying the mixture has a body, a first member for injecting the mixture, and a second member for injecting the mixture.

The invention relates to a mixing chamber in which a first liquid comes into contact with a second liquid, and a gas injection device designed to inject a gas into the mixing chamber, wherein the gas injection device comprises: a gas source to provide the gas at a predetermined pressure, and a metering unit to limit the gas provided by the gas source to a predetermined flow rate, wherein the metering unit is in contact with the mixing chamber on a gas outlet side of the metering unit, wherein the gas outlet side of the metering unit comprises an elongated gap, wherein the gas passes out of the metering unit into the mixing chamber via the elongated gap, and wherein the gas passes out of the metering unit into the mixing chamber.

A process for preparing a soft cheesecake mixture, comprising the following steps: placing the ingredients for preparing the soft mixture in a pre-mixing member; carrying out a step of pre-mixing the aforesaid ingredients so as to blend them together to obtain a pre-mixed mixture having a density comprised between 0.72 g/mL and 0.84 g/mL; transferring the pre-mixed mixture into a collection tank whose temperature is maintained at a value comprised between 25° C. and 40° C.; continuously transferring a part of the pre-mixed mixture present in the collection tank towards a homogenising member; carrying out a step of homogenising the pre-mixed mixture by means of the homogenising member, whose temperature is maintained at a value comprised between 25° C. and 40° C. so as to obtain an emulsified mixture having a density comprised between 0.81 g/mL and 0.92 g/mL. The subject matter of the present disclosure is also a production plant for producing the soft cheesecake mixture.

A dynamic mixer has two inlets arranged at an inlet side of the dynamic mixer and an outlet arranged at an outlet side of the dynamic mixer. The mixing element of the dynamic mixer is configured to be coupled to a drive shaft to drive the mixing element about a longitudinal axis of the mixing element.

A progressive shear emulsifier can include an outer body and an inner body. The outer body can have a central opening therethrough, an inlet, an outlet, and an inner surface along the central opening defining a first three-dimensional contour. The inner body can be positioned within the central opening and configured to rotate with respect to the outer body about an axis of rotation along the central opening. The inner body can have an outer surface defining a second three-dimensional contour that correlates to the first three-dimensional contour to form a material passage between the outer body and inner body. Rotation of the inner body within the outer body can create progressive amounts of shear across materials passing through the material passage, which can result in emulsified material. Conic transitions can create turbulent regions that mix the materials passing therethrough. Collective geometry can create conveyance and/or pumping of materials, which can be methylcellulose and free water.

A jet propulsion dry powder dissolution unit that includes a hollow chamber, an upper blending reactor, an impeller, a stator, a stator compartment, a blending reactor nozzle, a submersible actuator, a lower blending reactor, and a solution outlet blending reactor.

Additive manufacturing apparatus and methods for mixing and dispensing materials, and articles with controlled particle concentrations. Additive manufacturing apparatus includes a mixer; a reservoir in fluidic communication with the mixer; and a build plate parallel to the reservoir. Additive manufacturing apparatus includes a mixer and a solid particle dispensing system and/or a slurry dispensing system. A method for handling precursors during additive manufacturing includes (a) providing first and second precursor materials and/or a slurry to a mixer; (b) mixing the materials in the mixer; (c) transporting the mixed materials directly to a reservoir disposed in parallel with a build plate; (d) curing at least a portion of the transported and mixed materials; and (e) repeating step (d) at least once. An article includes a plurality of adjacent layers, a concentration of particles in each layer defining a controlled concentration gradient and/or vary by no more than ±50%.

An apparatus and system for dispensing a food and beverage product where a flowable product is extracted from a flexible pouch and where an opening exists through which the flowable product evacuates the flexible pouch. The opening has a lock seal that locks the flowable product within the flexible pouch when a pressure is applied to the flexible pouch. There is also a zip seal located in the opening that is configured to lock the flowable product within the flexible pouch after the lock seal has been removed when pressure is applied to the flexible pouch.

An apparatus and method for mixing and milling dry ingredients with water to produce a homogenous beverage. The apparatus may include, for example, a water supply, a tubing system, a dry ingredient container, a splash-back prevention unit, and a mixer capable of emulsifying and homogenizing a slurry, which, in accordance with some embodiments, may include large ground course particles (such as nuts) and water. The apparatus may also include a pump configured to move the slurry and homogenized beverage through the tubing, and a motor, which, in accordance in some embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure, controls the mill.

Provided is a gas-dissolved water generating apparatus in which a pressure pump and a multi-stage mixer are sequentially arranged on at least one conduit; a circulation pipe connecting an inlet side of the pressure pump and a outlet side of the pressure pump is positioned on the conduit; a gas supply unit for supplying a predetermined external gas to one side of the circulation pipe, which is connected to the inlet side of the pressure pump, via a gas supply pipe; the gas supply unit and the circulation pipe are connected through a three-way valve, and the three-way valve is configured to have a structure of a venturi pipe having wide inlet and outlet channels and a narrow interior channel along the circulation pipe, so that a gas supplied from the gas supply unit is independently sucked.
