Abstract: An apparatus for removing material residue from an external mixing element as it is being withdrawn from an external vessel containing the material mixed by the mixing element. The apparatus includes a stationary support member, a repositionable support assembly, and a rotatable material stripping element held captive by at least one element of the repositionable support assembly.

Abstract: An injection tube assembly comprising: a hollow cylindrical tube; a rotatable material stripping element, and a nozzle. Also, a polymer mixing system comprising: an injection tube assembly, a support apparatus for the injection tube assembly; a mixing apparatus; and if desired, an injection molding apparatus to produce an injection molded part with the mixed material.

Abstract: A package closure embodying a rotatable material stripping element provides a means to close off the package opening and comprises a material stripping element that accommodates the insertion and withdrawal of an external mixing element with a predetermined close fit. Whereas, the said mixing element may be inserted through the closure and into the vessel to mix material contained therein, and after the mixing operation is complete, the material stripping element strips off substantially whatever material residue is sticking to the mixing element as it being withdrawn from the vessel and the closure, thus preventing it from escaping the vessel.

Abstract: A mixing tool with an integrated stripping element for removing material residue from its embodied mixing element.

Abstract: A support apparatus that removably secures an injection tube assembly in a vertical orientation, and controls its temperature when secured therein. The apparatus facilitates the mixing of materials contained in the injection tube portion of the assembly. In one embodiment the apparatus cooperates with a material stripping apparatus that strips off material residue from an external mixing element as it is being withdrawn from the injection tube. In another embodiment, it cooperates with a mixing tool with an integrated stripping element. The tool both mixes the material in the tube and then strips the material residue off its embodied mixing element as it is being withdrawn from the tube. If desired, the apparatus may also be employed in cooperation with an injection molding apparatus to produce an injection molded part with the now mixed material. Alternative embodiments and other advantages are also disclosed.
