  • Patent number: 4082227
    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.
