Abstract
A fluid mixing system includes a collapsible container bounding a compartment and extending between a first end and an opposing second end. An elongated continuous drive line is at least partially disposed within the compartment of the container. A first portion of the drive line is laterally spaced apart from a second portion of the drive line, and the first portion of the drive line and the second portion of the drive line are rotatable within the compartment of the container.
Claims18
A fluid mixing system comprising:
- a collapsible container bounding a compartment, the container having a first end and an opposing second end;
- an elongated continuous drive line at least partially disposed within the compartment of the container, wherein a first portion of the drive line is laterally spaced apart from a second portion of the drive line, and
- the first portion of the drive line and the second portion of the drive line are rotatable within the compartment of the container.
A method of mixing a fluid, the method comprising:
- providing at least a portion of an elongated continuous drive line in a collapsible container bounding a compartment, wherein a first portion of the drive line is laterally spaced apart from a second portion of the drive line;
- delivering a fluid into the compartment of the container;
- and
- rotating the first and second portions of the drive line to mix the fluid within the compartment.
