A portable scale for weighing containers, and includes a weighing tray that may be moved from a weighing position to a non-weighing position by a drive mechanism. When in the non-weighing position, the weighing tray is low to the ground, allowing for easy loading and unloading. When in the weighing position, force is transmitted to one or more load cells located between the weighing tray and a scale assembly, which allows for an accurate measurement of the container and/or its contents.

A method to manufacture a native soil flowable fill includes hydro excavating native soil to form a hole at a first excavation, transferring the native soil from the first excavation to a debris tank, and adding a pozzolan component, cement and water to the debris tank. The method also includes mixing the native soil in the debris tank using a mixing apparatus to form the native soil flowable fill, and transferring the native soil flowable fill back to the first excavation into the hole. The native soil flowable fill comprises 30-90% by weight of native soil, 0-50% by weight of the added pozzolan component, 0-50% by weight of the cement, and 10-45% by weight of the water.

A continuous mixing plant that, for example simply continuously feeds the necessary materials while metering the amount thereof and drops these materials by gravitational force so that the mixed material may be manufactured continuously. As a means for attaining this object, a continuous mixing plant comprising a continuous metering and feeding means for feeding at least two kinds of materials to be mixed with each other while continuously metering the materials, and at least one mixing box unit for mixing the materials, is characterized in that the mixing box unit is provided with: a plurality of modified passages each of which has an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end and a cross-sectional shape of which is continuously changed from the inlet toward the outlet and which extend in an axial direction; and a merging and dividing means.

An automated paint-batching system for producing paint cans of any size and color. The system includes a plurality of paint-batching cells, with each cell having a maching comprised of either one or two dispensing stations. When two dispensing stations are used, the two dispensing stations are: A first tint-station, where a small volumetric dispensing of the base, water-base or oil-base, of the paint is dispensed, in order to wet the bottom of the can, at which first station, thereafter, is dispensed all of the liquid colorants making up the formula of the paint can, at which the remainder of the base of the formula of the paint is dispensed, and a second base-dispensing station. Each of the first and second stations of the paint-batching machine of the invention has operatively associated therewith a weighing platform upon which rests the paint can during the dispensing at the respective station used in quality-control weighing of each dispensing. When only one dispensing station is used, all of the above-steps are performed at the one station. Each paint can has attached to it a bar-code label which represents a relocatable memory-address of the computer which stores the color-formula forn that can and other information. The computer operating system controls the guidance of the particular paint can along its conveyance, so that the paint can is designated to one of a plurality of paint-batching cells of the system of the invention, with the bar-code of the paint can being read at a plurality of stations along the entire manufacturing process.

An apparatus for converting a dry material into a liquid concentrate includes a mixing vessel having an outlet opening, a dispenser for dispensing a predetermined weight of a dry material at a predetermined drop rate onto a predetermined drop location within the vessel, an inlet pipe connectable to a source of liquid for introducing a liquid into the vessel; a sensor for sensing the volume of liquid within the vessel; a pump for supplying a pressurized flow of recirculating liquid to the vessel; and a first, a second and a third agitating nozzle mounted within the vessel. Each agitating nozzle is operative to produce a jet of liquid oriented in a predetermined direction within the vessel. The nozzles are cooperable to generate within the vessel a moving body of liquid into which a dry material dispensed into the vessel is able to dissolve or to disperse.

An automatic hybrid volumetric method of dispensing (HVD) improves on gravimetric dispensing and volumetric dispensing. The method dispenses ingredients for a mixture, according to pre-selected formulations, utilizing a supply of the fluid ingredients, an ingredient container, a power-driven plunger in the ingredient container, a mixture container, and a calibration weight scale. The plunger is movable to expel fluid in the ingredient container. The method includes several steps. The ingredient container is connected to the supply to receive a first ingredient in the ingredient container. The ingredient container is connected to the mixture container for the mixture container to receive ingredient expelled from the ingredient container by movement of the plunger. The method is calibrated by powering the plunger to move in the ingredient container a controlled distance, to expel ingredient to the mixture container, while weighing the increase in the weight of the mixture container, resulting in a calculated rate of weight dispensed per increment of movement of the plunger. The ingredients are dispensed according to the formulations in the weight amounts required by the formulations from the supply through the ingredient container to the mixture container, through calibrated movements of the plunger in the ingredient container.

An apparatus 20 for mixing a solute with a solvent is described. The apparatus 20 includes a mixing chamber 12 for a solute and solvent and in which the solute and solvent are moved via a pump 18 and tubes (68a, 68b, 68c and 70). The chamber 12 also contains a divider 80 which, when occupying a first position (“U”), substantially divides the chamber 12 into at least two portions.

A system for manufacturing printing inks and the like which includes a weighing bin for the solids material, such as carbon black, this bin being operatively connected to a scale which trips a timer mechanism when the material in the bin reaches a predetermined weight. The timer mechanism actuates a release valve in the bin as well as a conveyor which moves the released solids to a mixing tank. The timer also releases a predetermined amount of liquid materials, such as varnish, oils, and solvents, into the mixing tank. The timer causes agitation of the materials in the mixing tank for a predetermined time, after which the mixture is passed to a holding tank and then to a ball mill or the like where it is finally ground. It is then passed through screens of predetermined mesh to storage and dispensing tank. All these steps take place in a timed, continuous manner.

A mixing chamber for mixing a variety of dry ingredients with a liquid is disclosed. The mixing chamber has an accumulation chamber that evenly distributes ingredients as they pass a liquid spray nozzle, resulting in uniform hydration. The liquid may be sprayed at a variety of pressures to achieve varying levels of granule hydration to permit the manufacture of dough, batter, or other compositions. Even dry ingredients which are generally slow to absorb moisture may be rapidly and evenly hydrated without an excess of liquid. Process parameters, such as volume flow rate of the dry ingredients, can also be varied.
