Abstract
Apparatus for commingling liquid chemicals includes a mixing tank having a drain valve and a liquid container impaling head for piercing a container impressed thereon so that the container's liquid chemical contents will flow into the tank. A pump is operatively connected to the tank for transporting liquid such as water from an external supply into the tank. The pump is also operable for continuously recirculating liquid from the tank and back thereinto so as to commingle the liquid from the supply and the container. The pump's inlet is also connected to a second liquid supply so that liquid from a barrel or drum may be withdrawn therefrom and mixed in the tank. An extendible-contractible member is slidably arranged within a conduit to permit the contents of the barrel or drum to be substantially evacuated.
Claims14
Apparatus for commingling liquids comprising
- reservoir means for receiving and holding liquid;
- drain valve means operable for selectively permitting liquid to be withdrawn from said reservoir means;
- means disposed adjacent to said reservoir means for impaling a container to permit the container's liquid contents to flow into said reservoir means;
- and
- pump means operable for transporting liquid from an external supply and a supply conduit into said reservoir means, said pump means also being operable for recirculating liquids from said reservoir means through said drain valve means and back into said reservoir means to thereby thoroughly mix the liquids, said pump means being further operable for discharging liquids so mixed away from said reservoir means.
A method for commingling liquids comprising
- impaling a container so that liquid flows therefrom into a reservoir;
- introducing a predetermined amount of liquid from an external supply into said reservoir;
- withdrawing said liquids from said reservoir and reintroducing the same back into said reservoir so that said liquids become mixed;
- and
- transporting said mixed liquids away from said reservoir.
