Abstract: An apparatus for mixing materials is disclosed. The apparatus includes a hopper, a substantially vertical auger within the hopper, and a housing enclosing the auger to define a mixing chamber. A baffle, attached to the housing, and the sidewall of the hopper are oriented so as to cooperatively provide a blending flow pattern within the hopper, thereby further mixing the materials.
