  • Patent number: 11872534
    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.

  • Publication number: 20090207688
    Abstract: The present invention is a system using a lid assembly with an integrated air valve that allows for the creation and maintenance of lower air pressure or vacuum within the mixing vessel. The mixing vessel can be placed in an asymmetrical centrifugal mixer and mixed while the material is under lower pressure or vacuum but while the vessel is not in contact with the vacuum pump. The vacuum or lower pressure assists in the removal of bubbles in the mixed materials. This system may be used with existing mixing vessels and placed inside existing asymmetrical centrifugal mixers.

  • Patent number: 6755565
    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.

  • Patent number: 6099160
    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.
