- wherein the housing provides within the primary chamber a plurality of rotating shafts, each rotating shaft having a plurality of flailing fixtures associated therewith.
1 more element
A mixing system comprising:
- a material bulk hopper;
- a treatment additive hopper;
- a premix chamber configured to receive a material discharged from both the material bulk hopper and the treatment additive hopper, the premix chamber providing a premix action to the combined material and treatment additive;
- and
- a mixing apparatus arranged to receive the combined material and treatment additive for mixing, the mixing apparatus having a primary chamber configured with a plurality of rotating shafts having a plurality of flailing fixtures associated therewith.
2 more elements
A process for mixing a treatment additive into a semi-solid material, the process comprising:
- transporting the semi-solid material from a containment structure and introducing it into a mixing apparatus,
- adding to the flow of semi-solid material being added to the mixing apparatus a treatment additive,
- subjecting the combined semi-solid material and treatment additive to a mixing action that disrupts the semi-solid material to allow the treatment additive to incorporate into the semi-solid material, the mixing action including a fracturing action.
