Abstract:
A skid (700) for use in separating biocomponents includes a housing (701) bounding a compartment (708), the compartment being partially bounding by a mounting platform (709); and a loading assembly (800) secured to the housing so as to communicate with the compartment. The loading assembly (800) includes an alignment plate (808) having a top surface with cavity (814) recessed therein, the cavity communicating with the compartment; a drive rotor (15) rotatably disposed below the alignment plate and at least partially encircling the cavity, the drive rotor including one or more magnets; a motor (169) coupled to the drive rotor for selectively rotating the drive rotor about the cavity; and a mount at least partially encircling the drive rotor and communicating with the compartment, the mount including a mounting plate having one or more mounting elements upstanding therefrom, the mount being movable between a raised position wherein the mounting plate is aligned with the alignment plate and a second lowered position wherein the mounting plate is disposed at an elevation lower than the alignment plate.
Abstract:
A liquid mixing system (10) includes a support housing (14) at least partially bounding a compartment (28). A mount (190) is secured to the support housing (14). A drive motor assembly (15) is configured to engage a drive shaft (17) for moving the drive shaft (17) within the compartment (28) of the support housing (14). A four bar linkage system (250) extends between the mount (190) and the drive motor assembly (15), the four bar linkage system (250) being movable between a first position wherein the drive motor assembly (15) is disposed at a first elevation and a second position wherein the drive motor assembly (15) is disposed at a second elevation that is different from the first elevation.
