Mobile Continuous Mixing Apparatus
A continuous mixer that is installed in the bed of a dump truck. The mixer has a hopper for cement, a pair of belts to move the other mixing materials, and a chute with an auger for mixing the cement and mixing materials with water and depositing the mixture where desired. The hopper stands upright in the bed when the bed is down and tilted at about 45° when the bed is up. An auger at the bottom of the hopper feeds cement to an opening at the bottom of the hopper, The belts sit below the hopper and are oriented with the belts parallel to the ground during operation, The belts feed mixing materials from the bed to a mixing chute below the belts. An auger combines the dry materials and water to form the concrete as they travel the length of the chute to the discharge end.
Continuous methods of making fiber reinforced concrete panels
Continuous method including mixing water and cementitous powder to form slurry; mixing the slurry and reinforcement fibers in a single pass horizontal continuous mixer to form fiber-slurry mixture, the mixer including an elongated mixing chamber having a reinforcement fiber inlet port, and upstream of the fiber inlet port is an inlet port to introduce water and cementitous powder together as one stream or at least two inlet ports to introduce water and dry cementitous powder separately as separate streams into the chamber, a rotating horizontal shaft/s within the chamber, part of the chamber for mixing the fibers and slurry and moving the fiber-slurry mixture to a mixture outlet; discharging the fiber-slurry mixture from the mixer outlet; forming and setting the fiber-slurry mixture on a moving surface; cutting the set mixture into fiber reinforced concrete panels and removing the panels from the moving surface.
Volumetric concrete mixing system, equipment, and method
A mobile volumetric concrete mixing system includes a suction system that vacuums up trench spoils while a trench is being cut. These trench spoils are then screened on-site for particle size to be reused and mixed with water, cement, and/or other admixtures at an auger mixer to form a backfill mixture. This backfill mixture may then be loaded into a hopper that continuously agitates the mixture so that the mixture does not harden before pouring. The agitating hopper is coupled to a discharge chute of the auger mixer and includes one or more augers disposed at various orientations that the backfill mixture is channeled through. From the agitating hopper, the backfill mixture is channeled to an applicator that moves along the trench and that enables the mixture to be quickly poured into the trench with little clean-up required.
Mobile continuous mixing apparatus with linearly aligned feed belts
A continuous mixer that is installed in the bed of a dump truck. The mixer has a hopper for cement, a pair of belts to move the other mixing materials, and a chute with an auger for mixing the cement and mixing materials with water and depositing the mixture where desired. The hopper stands upright in the bed when the bed is down and tilted at about 45° when the bed is up. An auger at the bottom of the hopper feeds cement to an opening at the bottom of the hopper, The belts sit below the hopper and are oriented with the belts parallel to the ground during operation, The belts feed mixing materials from the bed to a mixing chute below the belts. An auger combines the dry materials and water to form the concrete as they travel the length of the chute to the discharge end.
EMPTYING STATION FOR A FLEXIBLE INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINER
An emptying station for a flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) is provided. The emptying station has a body having a front wall, a rear wall defining an aperture, and left and right side walls, the walls collectively defining a hopper for receiving particulate matter contained in the FIBC, at least one power source connected to the body, a lift assembly operatively connected to the at least one power source and to the body. The lift assembly moves the FIBC between lowered and raised positions. A cutter is connected to the body and is disposed in the hopper. The cutter is positioned for cutting a bottom of the FIBC when moved from the lowered position to the raised position. At least one mixer is connected to the body for mixing the particulate matter received in the hopper. The at least one mixer also conveys the particulate matter towards the rear wall.
MIXING AND FEEDING SYSTEM FOR 3D PRINTING OF BUILDINGS
The present invention is a mixing and feeding system for 3D printing of buildings, designed for extruding highly viscous construction material with a high setting speed. The invention ensures consistent quality of material mixture and does not depend on external and unpredictable factors. The system utilizes a piston water dispenser, a single horizontal brushless motor, water metering nozzles, a pneumatic clutch, separation of wet and dry areas, an optional high pressure washer, and an automatic release of flushing balls for additional and autonomous cleaning. Any extruder should be installed as close as possible to the dispenser supply line of the present invention, such that the system sensors may detect the proper dose of mixed material.

MIXER FOR SYNTHETIC QUARTZ
A mixer for synthetic quartz includes a mixing barrel (1), a power transmission system (2), a mixing system (3), and multiple material receiving receptacles (4). The power transmission system is provided above the mixing tank. The mixing system is provided inside the mixing tank. The power transmission system is used to drive the mixing system to move. An opening is arranged at each of two ends of the material receiving receptacle. The multiple material receiving receptacles (4) are arranged at a top portion of the mixing tank, and end portions of two adjacent material receiving receptacles are spaced apart from each other without contact there between. A resin experiences low flow resistance in the material receiving receptacle, and thus can fall smoothly without accumulating in the material receiving receptacle. Moreover, the material receiving receptacle can be cleaned easily.

Mixer including foam feeding port, mixing method, and method for producing lightweight gypsum board
Behavior of a flow of foam ejected to a gypsum slurry can be stabilized, and a relatively large amount of foam can be homogeneously or uniformly dispersed in the slurry. A mixer has a mixing area for preparing gypsum slurry, a slurry delivery section for delivering the slurry from the mixing area, and a feeding port for feeding foam to the slurry in the mixing area and/or the slurry delivery section under pressure. The slurry having the foam mixed therein is supplied to a production line for forming gypsum boards or gypsum-based boards. The feeding port is provided with a partition member dividing an ejecting region. The ejecting region is divided into a plurality of openings, which simultaneously eject the foam to the slurry.
