A kinetic shear mixer and method. In an embodiment, a kinetic shear mixer includes a first member having a first inner chamber portion and a second member having a second inner chamber portion. When coupled to one another, the first and second inner chamber portions form a substantially closed chamber. A shearing member is coupled to the first and/or second members. The shearing member is located within an area of the closed chamber through which material being mixed travels during movement of the mixer in a mixing operation. A vacuum can be applied through a port to the closed chamber during movement of the mixer in a mixing operation. Shearing members may be retractable. A moveable piston can also be provided. The mixed material may be directly injected by application of a pressure to the opposite side of the piston or to a separate injector piston.
