High-pressure homogenizer
A high-pressure homogenizer, comprising: a plurality of pumping pistons (2a, 2b), for feeding a liquid to be homogenized toward a manifold (6), each piston being associated with a respective oil hydraulic cylinder; a homogenizing valve positioned downstream of said pumping pistons (2a, 2b); and an electronic system (5) for controlling and regulating said pumping pistons (2a, 2b), which controls the law of motion of each individual piston (2a, 2b) independently. Said electronic regulation system (5) is connected to a transducer placed on the manifold (6) to regulate the delivery of oil to the individual cylinders (3a, 3b) according to the pressure, sensed in the manifold (6), of the liquid to be homogenized pumped by said pistons (2a, 2b) in order to maintain a stable flow rate and pressure.
Multi-station liquid dispensing apparatus with automatic selection of proper flow rate
A multi-station liquid mixing and dispensing apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing that defines a first pocket for supporting a first container, a second pocket for supporting a second container, and a third pocket disposed vertically above at least one of the first pocket and the second pocket. The apparatus also includes a first door pivotably coupled to the housing and enclosing the first pocket, and a second door pivotably coupled to the housing and enclosing the second pocket. The apparatus also includes a valve coupled to the housing to control flow of chemical concentrate to at least one of the first container and the second container.
CONTAINER AND DISPENSER FOR FLOWABLE MATERIAL AND METHOD
Varied embodiments of a container/dispenser having a multi-chamber bellows member having a plurality of collapsible bellows chambers allowing more than one substance to be contained within the container and simultaneously dispensed when a sufficient axial force is exerted on a platform to compress the bellows member forcing flowable materials from each chamber. In an alternative embodiment, the present invention discloses a retrofit multi-chambered bellows container, which may be adapted to a standard caulking tube container.
