A device for loading, mixing and delivering ingredients includes a measuring bucket pivotably mounted to the free ends of pickup arms pivotably mounted to a mixing vessel including a lid having a depressed basin with an opening formed therethrough. The mixing vessel and the measuring bucket are simultaneously moved with the measuring bucket in a loading position to fill with ingredients. The measuring bucket is moved relative to the mixing vessel from a transport position to an emptying position emptying the ingredients into the mixing vessel. A linkage is pivotably mounted between the pickup arms and the lid to simultaneously move the lid from a closed position to an open position as the measuring bucket moves from the transport position to the emptying position. The ingredients are mixed by mixing paddles inside the mixing vessel, and the mixed ingredients are released from the mixing vessel through an open gate.

An apparatus for cooling fresh concrete using a frame through which the fresh concrete can flow and at least one spoke arranged in the frame. Wherein the at least one spoke has at least one nozzle for discharging a coolant into the fresh concrete. The coolant may be liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide. The coolant may be introduced into fresh concrete in such a way that the coolant is enclosed by the fresh concrete. In this way, the fresh concrete can be cooled efficiently without large amounts of the coolant being released into the environment and without the fresh concrete becoming so cold in places that damage to, for example, the transport vehicle can occur. The apparatus may be used, in particular, when filling the transport vehicle.

This invention generally relates to a mixing at least one material with at least one other material within an in-line mixing device. In one example embodiment methods, apparatuses, and systems are described to treat, reuse or otherwise remediate dredged or raw material from bottom sediment or other sources through the mixture of raw material and another material such as a hardening agent into a homogenous material for contamination remediation, use as construction materials or other uses.

A mixing tool has an elongated tubular conduit with a flattened portion at a lower end, a garden hose fitting joined to an upper end, a mixing blade having one or more horizontal wings, a tapered lower end, and an extension at an upper end inserted into the flattened portion and fastened through walls of the flattened portion, and two opposing, horizontal hand grips joined to the elongated tubular conduit at a position closer to the garden hose fitting than to the mixing blade. A user is enabled to prepare a pourable concrete mix by inserting the mixing blade into a quantity of dry ingredients, connecting a garden hose, causing water to flow through the elongated tubular conduit, around the mixing blade extension, into the dry ingredients, and turning the mixing blade by manipulating the opposing horizontal handgrips, to mix the moistened dry ingredients into the pourable concrete mix.
