Abstract
A pressurized container assembly includes a pressurized container, a valve, and a shearing chamber. A flowable product and propellant are also provided within the container. The propellant is substantially non-soluble in the flowable product. Methods of producing a foamed flowable product using shearing chambers are also disclosed.
Claims20
A pressurized container assembly comprising:
- a pressurized container;
- a flowable product within the pressurized container under pressure;
- a valve coupled to the pressurized container, wherein the valve is configured to be selectively actuated to enable the flowable product to be dispensed from the pressurized container;
- and
- a shearing chamber in fluid communication with the valve, wherein the shearing chamber includes
- a first pair of opposing parallel surfaces defining a first fluid shearing conduit therebetween that is configured to receive a flow of the flowable product when the valve is actuated, and
- a second pair of opposing parallel surfaces defining a second fluid shearing conduit therebetween, the second fluid shearing conduit being parallel to and in fluid communication with the first fluid shearing conduit to receive the flow of the flowable product from the first fluid shearing conduit,
- wherein each of the first and second pairs of opposing parallel surfaces is configured to impart shear to the flowable product as the flowable product flows through the respective first and second fluid shearing conduits to foam the flowable product within the shearing chamber.
