Abstract
A stationary material mixing apparatus in the shape of a cylindrical conduit being open at both ends. The conduit houses a plurality of mixing elements which are characterized as having no edges perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and which are sized and positioned within the conduit such that at any plane passing perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, at least 75% of the circumference of the conduit is free of any mixing element.
Claims6
A stationary material mixing apparatus comprising a conduit having a length, a substantially circular circumference, a longitudinal axis through said length and being open at both ends thereof, said conduit housing a plurality of mixing elements, said mixing elements having no edges perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and are sized and positioned within said conduit such that at any plane passing perpendicularly to said longitudinal axis, at least 75% of the circumference of said conduit is free of any mixing element and no mixing elements are in contact with one another resulting in an open region of travel for fluids passing through said conduit along its longitudinal axis.
