  • Patent number: 4472064
    Abstract: Particulate materials are blended in a vessel provided with a plurality of vertically extending conduits therein. The vessel comprises a downwardly converging frustoconically shaped bottom wall which defines the lower region of the vessel. The conduits are provided with opening within the upper region of the vessel and the lower ends of the conduits extend through the bottom wall, each commmunicating via a corresponding inclined conduit with a solids outlet at the open bottom of the bottom wall. At least one drain conduit communicates between a corresponding opening in the bottom wall and a corresponding inclined conduit. A baffle is disposed within the vessel separating the upper and lower regions and comprises a downwardly converging inverted generally conical portion spaced above the bottom wall and defining therebetween a downwardly converging annular passage.
