Method and apparatus for continuous mixing of small, precise quantities of bulk materials with a liquid stream

摘要: A continuous mixer (10) is provided for combining bulk materials metered at a relatively slow rate into liquid stream and particularly useful preparing an innoculant solution treating feed pellets, seed or the like. The has vertical separation tube (48) extending between screw feeder (38) mixing zone (64) in conduit (54) therebelow, independently pressurized with air to substantially preclude ascent of liquids within ensure that all occurs line prevent from rising level sufficient wetting innoculants stored hopper adjacent feeder. Air pressure selectively adjustable order vary spray produced by nozzle (70) end fluid essentially free finely dispersed fog which includes substantial quantities air.
