Abstract
A mobile slurry mixer and spreader comprising a rotatable screen attached to and rotated by a drive and disposed within a mixing tank over a discharge opening. The rotatable screen prevents debris from entering the discharge opening while allowing a slurry material to enter the discharge opening. The mixing tank is mounted on a mobile chassis and a spreader is in fluid communication with the discharge opening of the tank. An agitator shaft is horizontally disposed within the tank and a plurality of mixing paddles are attached to the shaft and arranged to move slurry material toward the discharge opening while providing an improved mixing of the slurry material. The mixed slurry material passing through the discharge opening is distributed to the area over which the chassis travels.

A mobile slurry mixer and spreader apparatus comprising:
- a mobile chassis;
- a horizontally disposed cylindrical bottomed tank mounted on said chassis and having a discharge opening at the rearward end in proximity to the bottom of said tank;
- valve means disposed within the opening for regulating the discharge of a slurry from said tank;
- rotatable mixing means horizontally disposed within said tank, for mixing the slurry within said tank and constantly moving the slurry toward the discharge opening;
- a screen drive means;
- a rotatable screen attached to said screen drive means and rotated thereby, and disposed within said tank over the discharge opening, whereby debris is prevented from entering the discharge opening and the slurry is permitted to enter the discharge opening;
- and
- spreader means in fluid communication with the discharge opening for distributing the slurry passing through the discharge opening to the area over which said chassis travels.
