Abstract
A mixing system includes a tank assembly and a container positioned within the tank assembly, the container bounding a compartment. A mixer is disposed within the compartment of the container. A shaft has a first end secured to the mixer and an opposing second end disposed outside of the container. An actuation mechanism is coupled with the second end of the shaft outside of the container and reciprocally moves the shaft and the mixer a stroke length, the stroke length being adjusted based on a pre-programmed protocol or signals from a sensor.
Claims18
A mixing system, comprising:
- a tank assembly;
- a container positioned within the tank assembly, the container comprising a flexible bag and bounding a compartment;
- a mixer disposed within the compartment of the container;
- a shaft having a first end secured to the mixer and an opposing second end disposed outside of the container;
- and
- an actuation mechanism coupled with the second end of the shaft outside of the container, the actuation mechanism reciprocally moving the shaft and the mixer a stroke length, the stroke length being adjusted based on a pre-programmed protocol.
A mixing system, comprising:
- a tank assembly;
- a container positioned within the tank assembly, the container bounding a compartment;
- a sensor associated with the container, the sensor comprising an optical sensor;
- a mixer disposed within the compartment of the container;
- a shaft having a first end secured to the mixer and an opposing second end disposed outside of the container;
- and
- an actuation mechanism coupled with the second end of the shaft outside of the container, the actuation mechanism reciprocally moving the shaft and the mixer a stroke length, the stroke length being adjusted based on signals from the sensor.
A mixing system, comprising:
- a tank assembly;
- a container positioned within the tank assembly, the container bounding a compartment;
- a mixer disposed within the compartment of the container, the mixer comprising:
- a base having openings extending therethrough;
- and
- flaps movably mounted on the base to selectively cover and uncover the openings;
- a shaft having a first end secured to the mixer and an opposing second end disposed outside of the container;
- and
- an actuation mechanism coupled with the second end of the shaft outside of the container, the actuation mechanism reciprocally moving the shaft and the mixer a stroke length, the stroke length being adjusted based on a pre-programmed protocol.
