A method is disclosed for mixing liquids in closed containers wherein the container is partially filled with a liquid such as paint and is moved over a closed path in a vertical plane such that the vertical velocity component of fluid movement causes a force component in the fluid within the container to displace the air therein away from the top of the container.
A method of making an abrasive tape comprises the steps of preparing an abrasive composition at least from abrasive grains and a binder, applying the abrasive composition onto a flexible substrate, and drying the applied abrasive composition. The step of preparing the abrasive composition comprises kneading processing and attritor dispersion processing which are carried out for at least a part of the abrasive grains and at least a part of the binder.
The invented apparatus can be used to agitate the liquid contents of paint balls to mix and evenly distribute their liquid contents so that the paint balls will fly in a true trajectory when shot from a paint ball gun. The invented apparatus also helps to remove or prevent the formation of dimples on the outer shell of the paint balls caused by sitting for extended periods of time in storage boxes, for example. The invented apparatus can thus be used to repair defective paint balls and to extend the useful life of such paint balls. The apparatus includes a support member, a motor, and a container . The motor is mounted to the support member, and the container is supported for rotation by the support member and the motor's drive shaft. Paint balls are placed in the container which is rotated by the motor during operation of the apparatus to move the paint balls to agitate their liquid contents. The invention also includes a related method.
