Abstract
There is disclosed a mixing apparatus for mixing particulate bulk material. The apparatus consists of a cylindrical housing having distributed thereabout equidistantly a plurality of vertically disposed tubes. The tubes possess a series of vertically displaced entranceways that communicate with the housing containing the material and internally of the tubes for delivery of the material to a centrally located homogenizer in the lower portion of the apparatus. Entrance into the homogenizer is also accomplished directly from the bottom of the zone containing the material and means may also be provided at the top of the homogenizer for introducing therethrough the to-be-mixed material. The material is maintained in a highly fluidized condition by suitably positioned blowers having introductory orifices at strategic locations. The mentioned tubes are charged with the material through an air fluidizing means, which air is then deaerated so that the material may then be further transported to the homogenizer.
