Abstract:
1. A method of forming in a container a diffuse pattern mixture of at least two components, the at least two components having differing visual characteristics, comprising: (a) providing a filler/mixer having a mixing chamber wherein the mixing chamber comprises: (b) providing a container positioned after the mixing chamber on a container support capable of rotating the container; (c) feeding a first component and a second component into the mixing chamber, wherein the first component and a second component contact the first mixing element to form a first component and second component mixture, the first component and the second component having a common interface, wherein upon contact of the first component and the second component with the first mixing element top surface the common interface is at an angle of 0 degrees to about 90 degrees to the top surface; (d) concurrently rotating the container in a first direction and feeding the first component and second component mixture from the mixing chamber into the container; (e) continuing to feed the first component and second component mixture into the container and rotating the container in the first direction and in a second direction; and (f) concurrently separating the container from the mixing chamber during the rotation of the container in a first direction and in a second direction; wherein the container is rotated at least 90 degrees in the first direction and at least 90 degrees in the second direction.
