An apparatus and method for mixing dry particulate material and liquid is shown. The dry material is initially mixed in a mixing module. The pre-mixed slurry then passes to a two stage mixing tank system featuring a smaller, primary tank and a larger capacity, secondary tank. The premixed slurry passes into the primary tank for additional mixing, then flows over a weir into the secondary tank. A portion of the slurry in the secondary tank is recirculated to the mixing module while the density of the slurry in the primary is monitored. The overall slurry density is controlled by adjusting the dry material entering the mixing module based upon the density reading taken from the primary tank. |
