PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To actualize a stirring apparatus in which the wear of a stirring member is reduced by suppressing the sticking of mold sand to the bottom part of a stirring tank.SOLUTION: The stirring apparatus 10 includes: a stirring tank 11 which is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape and to which mold sand S and an additive to the mold sand S are charged; and the stirring member 13 scooping the mold sand S and the additive and stirring them. The stirring member 13 has a first tilted face 13a tilted to the bottom part 11a of the stirring tank 11, rotates along the bottom part 11a, scoops the mold sand S by the first tilted face 13a, and stirs and mixes the mold sand. The stirring member 13 includes a first guide member 13b biasing the mold sand S toward the bottom part 11a and guiding the mold sand S to the rotating direction R. |
