Abstract: A mixer nozzle assembly for mixing fluid introduced into a tank having a tank volume therein. The mixer nozzle assembly includes a stationary body and a rotatable body mounted on the stationary body for rotation about an axis in a predetermined direction. The fluid flows through the stationary body to the rotatable body and exits into the tank volume via one or more outlet apertures for causing the rotatable body to rotate in the predetermined direction about the axis. The mixer nozzle assembly also includes a governor subassembly for controlling a speed of rotation of the rotatable body in the predetermined direction about the axis and a hydraulic circuit for governing a flow rate of hydraulic fluid directed to the governor subassembly, to adjust the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid for adjusting the speed of rotation of the rotatable body to the preselected speed.

Abstract: In an arrangement for mixing fiber components, for example fiber flocks, especially in spinning preparation, fiber web production or the like, in which the fiber material to be supplied is conveyable into at least two weighing containers and, when weighing is complete, the fiber material is dischargeable from the at least two weighing containers onto a mixing belt, the weighing containers are arranged one after the other—seen in the direction of travel of the belt—above the mixing belt. In order that accurate weighing, troublefree production and increased throughput can be achieved in a simple manner, the position of at least one weighing container can be adjusted transverse to the longitudinal extent of the mixing belt.
