Mixer for granular material

A method for mixing granular materials, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a mixing container comprised of a first mixing container portion and a second mixing container portion detachably connected to one another, wherein said mixing container has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis extending perpendicularly to said longitudinal axis;
• supporting said mixing container on a support frame such that said mixing container is pivotable about said transverse axis and rotatable about said longitudinal axis;
• filling a granular material into said second mixing container portion and connecting said second mixing container portion to said first mixing container portion;
• pivoting said mixing container into a first position in which said longitudinal axis is slanted relative to a vertical position and in which said second mixing container portion is positioned above said first mixing container portion;
• rotating said mixing container positioned in said first position for mixing the granular material;
• after completion of mixing, positioning said mixing container in a second position such that said second container portion contains the mixed material and detaching said second mixing container portion from said first mixing container portion.

• equipping said first mixing container portion with a mixing tool comprising radially extending mixing blades ending in direct vicinity of a container wall of said mixing container;
• supporting said mixing container on a support frame such that said mixing container is pivotable about said transverse axis and rotatable about said longitudinal axis;
• filling a granular material into said second mixing container portion and connecting said second mixing container portion to said first mixing container portion;
• pivoting said mixing container into a first position in which said longitudinal axis is vertical and in which said second mixing container portion is positioned above said first mixing container portion;
• rotating said mixing container positioned in said first position and said mixing tool for mixing the granular material;
• after completion of mixing, positioning said mixing container in a second position such that said second mixing container portion contains the mixed material and detaching said second mixing container portion from said first mixing container portion.
