Abstract
A system for creating an admixture from a liquid and a relatively dry flowable material, such as granular detergent, is provided and includes a hopper for the dry flowable material, a pipe, a pair of valves defining a metering section of the pipe, and a mixing tank into which the dry material and water are introduced. The valves are alternately operated in response to sensed liquid level in the mixing tank to deposit a predetermined quantity of the dry material into the tank, and when the latter occurs, the water is injected tangentially into the tank to create a homogeneous admixture.
