Blending apparatuses and related methods and computer program products are disclosed. In an aspect, blending apparatuses and related methods and computer program products of the present disclosure may include at least one energy source associated with the blending apparatuses such that at least one energy source may be used to provide at least one portion of the energy required for a given blending apparatus to function, thereby reducing or eliminating need for a separate energy source to power the blending apparatus, which reduces the overall spatial footprint required by the blending apparatus and other device(s) associated therewith. Energy generated by the at least one energy source may also be used to power one or more additional devices. Blending apparatuses of the present disclosure may additionally comprise at least one control station that allows one or more users to monitor, adjust, control, interact with the blending apparatuses, thereby increasing efficiency.

A split-type blade, a fluid drive device and a fluid drive proportional mixer. The split-type blade is used as a component of the fluid drive device to convert pressure energy of fluid into mechanical energy. The split-type blade comprises: one or more push rods, each push rod being suitable for being arranged on a rotor of the fluid drive device in a radially slidable manner; and two valve plates, the two valve plates being respectively mounted in parallel at two end portions of the push rods, and each valve plate extending outwards along the push rods to form the split-type blade having a running-through push rod structure. In this way, when the split-type blade drives the rotor to rotate under the effect of a fluid, the push rods of each split-type blade slide in a radial direction relative to the rotor.

The present disclosure discloses a high-temperature aerogel heat insulation coating, preparation equipment and a use method for the preparation equipmen. A supporting leg frame is arranged on the outer side wall of the reaction tank; a storage cavity is formed in the upper outer box; a dispersing shaft is arranged in the storage cavity; dispersing blades are installed on the dispersing shaft; a dispersing motor and a material guiding pipe are arranged outside the upper outer box; an unloading mechanism is arranged under the reaction tank; and an exhaust hole and a feeding hole are formed in the outer part of the reaction tank.

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.

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.

An aspect of the invention discloses a system for making lather in a cup, comprising a cup comprising an impeller and a heater in said cup and a base for said cup having a power source configured to provide power to said impeller and to said heater.

A liquid polymer dosing and mixing chamber and pump having a hollow chamber, a blending reactor, a progressive cavity pump, a mixing cup, a submersible actuator, and an aging cup within the hollow chamber adapted to create doses, via the progressive cavity pump, of a first substance and to mix it with one or more substances introduced into the blending reactor via one or more inlets.

A carbonated beverage maker includes a water reservoir, a carbon dioxide creation chamber, and a carbonation chamber. The water reservoir holds ice water and has a first impeller and a shroud surrounding the first impeller. The carbon dioxide creation chamber contains chemical elements and receives warm water. The chemical elements react with each other to create carbon dioxide when the warm water is introduced to the carbon dioxide creation chamber. The carbonation chamber is connected to the water reservoir and the carbon dioxide creation chamber. The carbonation chamber has a second impeller that includes a stem portion and blades. The stem portion and the blades define conduits therein. The blades create a low pressure region in a lower portion of the carbonation chamber such that carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide creation chamber flows through the conduits to the low pressure region.

A production apparatus includes a receiving device designed to receive a first and a second capsule containing a first and a second formulation, respectively, the receiving device being designed to be in an open position in which the first and the second capsule can be introduced into the receiving device and a closed position in which the receiving device holds the first and second capsules in position, the receiving device further being designed in such a way that when the receiving device holding the first and second capsules is moved from the open position to the closed position, the first and second capsules are connected; the apparatus further includes a mixing machine designed to receive the receiving device holding the first and second capsules, and to mix the first and second formulations contained in the first and second capsules such as to obtain the composition.
