Abstract: A rotation mixer including a housing, a drive unit coupled to the housing, a carriage mounted on the drive unit for rotation relative to the housing, and a basket mounted for rotation relative to the carriage. The basket receives material to be mixed. The carriage includes an arm and a drive line coupled to the arm. The arm is mounted on the drive unit for rotation about a first axis relative to the housing, and the drive line converts rotation of the arm into rotation of the basket about a second axis relative to the arm during use of the rotation mixer. The drive line illustratively includes a belt and plurality of pulleys upon which the belt travels in a continuous loop, the belt engaging with a gear on the basket to cause rotation of the basket.

Abstract: A mixing system for mixing material includes a mixer having a housing, an arm in operable cooperation with the housing, wherein the arm is constructed and arranged to rotate about a first axis of rotation, and a basket constructed and arranged to rotate about a second axis of rotation in the opposite direction while the arm is rotating. A holder is removably received within the basket. A material container receives the material to be mixed, and the container is received within a lower half of the holder.
Abstract: A mixing system for mixing and dispensing viscous material comprising a mixer, cartridge assembly, and dispenser. This timesaving mixing and dispensing system utilizes a self-contained cartridge assembly that can be transferred directly from the mixer to the dispenser without exposing the reactive materials to the external environment. The cartridge assembly includes a cup having a nipple where a nozzle may be attached for dispensing, a plunger, a cap for the cup, and a removable seal over the opening of the dispensing nipple.
