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.
Claims16
An assembly for foaming and dispensing a flowable product from a container, the assembly comprising:
- a valve configured to be coupled to the container;
- and
- a shearing chamber coupled to and in fluid communication with the valve, wherein the shearing chamber is configured to be received in the container and to receive a flow of the flowable product when the valve is actuated,
- wherein the shearing chamber includes an outer shell and an inner shell nested inside of the outer shell to define parallel surfaces defining a boundary layer configured to impart shear to the flowable product as the flowable product flows through the shearing chamber to foam the flowable product within the shearing chamber.

A container assembly comprising:
- a container;
- a flowable product and a propellant disposed within the container under pressure;
- a valve coupled to the container, wherein the valve is configured to be selectively actuated;
- and
- a shearing chamber coupled to and in fluid communication with the valve, wherein the shearing chamber is in the container and is configured to receive a flow of the flowable product when the valve is actuated,
- wherein the shearing chamber includes an outer shell and an inner shell nested inside of the outer shell to define parallel surfaces defining a boundary layer configured to impart shear to the flowable product as the flowable product flows through the shearing chamber to foam the flowable product within the shearing chamber.
