Multi-component mixing system having a rotatable container and container therefor

A container for single-component or multi-component molding materials, the container comprising a container body having a constant outer contour in a longitudinal extent of the container, a piston movable in a direction of the longitudinal extent, and a cover having an outlet opening, wherein a variable volume for a molding material is defined between the piston and the cover in the direction of the longitudinal extent of, the container, wherein a thread is arranged in an interior of the container, the thread engaging in a counter thread of the piston and the piston being rotatably mounted relative to the thread, wherein the container body is rotatably mounted relative to the cover having the outlet opening and a rotation of the container body relative to the cover having the outlet opening leads to a rotation of the piston relative to the thread, such that the variable volume is varied and the content of the container is directly pressed out through the outlet opening, and wherein a ring gear is arranged peripherally around the container body to rotate the container body about the longitudinal extent thereof relative to the cover.
