A vertical mixer assembly (20; 420; 520) for mixing a bulk material, comprises a floor (22; 422; 522) having an upper surface. At least one wall (26; 426; 526) extends from the floor (22; 422; 522) and has an interior surface and an upper edge (28; 28; 528). The floor (22; 422; 522) and the at least one wall (26; 426; 526) defines an open topped mixing chamber (32; 432; 532) having a general tub-shape suitable for receiving the bulk material, and the mixing chamber (32; 432; 532) comprises an outlet for egress of mixed bulk material. At least one vertical auger (36; 436; 536) is positioned in the mixing chamber (32; 432; 532) for mixing the bulk material, and at least one auger (36; 436; 536) has an exterior surface suitable for mixing the bulk material upon operation of the at least one auger (36; 436; 536). A polymer based wear-resistant material (40; 440; 540) coats or covers at least a portion of the mixing chamber (32; 432; 532), wherein a thickness of the polymer based wear-resistant material (40; 440; 540) is more than 600 µm. |
