an integrated mixer and nozzle device for a 3D printer of building construction components includes: a support; a mixer disposed inside the support to mix a first material and a second material together to produce a flowable mixture; a conveyor directly connected to the mixer to convey the flowable mixture in a first direction; and a nozzle directly connected to the conveyor to extrude the flowable mixture and to discharge the extruded mixture in a second direction different from the first direction.

A stirrer (1; 100) for stabilizing liquid binding unfinished products intended to form ceramic items comprising a support shaft (2) individuating a longitudinal rotation axis (Y) and contained into a mixing tank (V) of the liquid binding unfinished product, motorization means (3) operatively connected with the support shaft (2) in order to rotate it around the longitudinal axis (Y), and a main operating blade (4), coupled with the support shaft (2) through interconnection means (5) in such a way as to be contained into the mixing tank (V) in order to interfere with the liquid binding unfinished product and cause its continuous mechanical mixing action inside the mixing tank (V) itself when the support shaft (2) rotates around the longitudinal axis (Y). In this case, the stirrer (1) includes a thermoregulation circuit (6), which extends within the support shaft (2) and within the main operating blade (4) and is connected with an external source for supplying a heat transfer fluid crossing the thermoregulation circuit (6) in such a way as to exchange heat with the liquid binding unfinished product within the mixing tank (V), in order to bring the it to a predefined temperature, while the support shaft (2) and the main operating blade (4) integral with it rotate around the longitudinal axis (Y).

An agitator for a gypsum wallboard mixer is provided and includes a circular disc with an upper surface, a drive shaft extending vertically from the upper surface, a lump ring secured to the upper surface, the lump ring being provided in a plurality of spaced, adjacent arcuate segments.

A portable concrete mixer includes a frame, a hopper, coupled to the frame, for receiving therein dry commercially available prepackaged concrete mixes containing gravel aggregates, a chute coupled to the hopper, a water supply system that supplies water to the chute, a motor, and an auger coupled to and rotated by the motor. The auger includes a shaftless helical auger body extending from the hopper into the chute via an aperture in the hopper. The shaftless helical auger body has an interior volume and a plurality of fingers extending from the auger body into the interior volume. The shaftless helical auger body has an uneven pitch such that a second portion of the helical auger body in the chute has a greater pitch than a first portion of the helical auger body in the hopper.

The mixing machine is a motorized cement mixer that designed to mix cement in batches of less than 1 cubic foot. The mixing machine comprises a mixing bucket, a paddle insert, a motor, a drive system, a housing, and a control system. The mixing bucket is used to contain the cement or concrete mixture. The paddle insert is an insert designed to go into the mixing bucket. The paddle insert further comprises a plurality of paddles that are used to agitate the concrete mixture to insure efficient mixing. The motor and drive system are used to rotate the mixing bucket to efficiently mix the concrete mixture, and to prevent the concrete mixture from setting in the mixing bucket. The mixing machine comprises a mixing bucket, a paddle insert, a motor, a drive system, a housing, and a control system.

Provided is an efficient and energy-saving building slurry stirring device. The device includes a grouting assembly, which includes a base, a storage tank, a discharge pipe, a grouting pump and a control box. The storage tank is arranged at the top of the base, the discharge pipe is located at one side of the storage tank, the grouting pump is arranged on the discharge pipe, and the control box is fixed to the top of the base. When the fluidity of a grouting material in the storage tank is reduced due to solidification, the stirring assembly can stir the grouting material in the storage tank. Then, the stirring assembly stops stirring the grouting material to save energy. After the grouting is completed, an inner wall of the storage tank can be cleaned by the stirring assembly.

A construction site mixing machine for mixing mixing materials contains a mixing container for a mixing material, a mixing tool displacement device, by which a mixing tool is displaceable between a mixing tool use position and a mixing tool non-use position. The mixing tool displacement device has a telescoping device or is formed by such a telescoping device. The mixing tool is displaceable by the telescoping device between the mixing tool use position and the mixing tool non-use position. According to an alternative concept, a control unit is configured to drive the mixing container by the mixing container drive unit in the opposite direction to the mixing tool which is drivable in rotation by the mixing tool drive unit and/or that the control unit has a timer function by which the operating time of the mixing tool drive unit and/or the mixing container drive unit is settable.

Described herein are novel construction materials and construction material compositions, processes, and equipment for manufacturing press-formed biocement and bioconcrete products and construction materials. In some embodiments, the methods include combining aggregate particles with a first measured dose of at least one biological organism or enzyme and a first measured dose of cementation reagents in a first mixer, mixing the contents of the first mixer and reacting the first measured dose of the cementation reagents in the presence of the first measured dose of the at least one biological organism or enzyme to form a biocement which binds to the surfaces of the aggregate particles, thereby increasing the size of the particles to yield a biocement coated aggregate.

A concrete recycling system and a method of use thereof is disclosed. The concrete recycling system may recycle aggregates and sand from fluid-concrete based on their grain size. Particularly, the concrete recycling system may have a slurry refiner that allows for the finer aggregates in the fluid-concrete to be recycled. The fluid-concrete may be diluted by water and fed to the slurry refiner via a fluid outlet having a turbulent discharge. The slurry refiner may allow the finer aggregates to settle to the bottom of said device for an auger system to uniformly mix the aggregates and transfer them along the length of the slurry refiner. The uniformly mixed slurry may then be pumped to a hydrocyclone to separate the finer aggregates from the cement and water in the slurry.
