<p>A cyclonic mixer comprises a pair of concentric tubes (12, 16) having an inlet and an outlet. The outer tube is closed at either end, and the inner tube (16) has a plurality of holes (38) with compound angles designed to impart a swirling motion of the air admitted into the interior of the inner mixing tube (16). The holes are judiciously located around the inner tube (16) for creating a swirling pattern. The inlet of the tubes accepts dry particles of two or more different compositions intended to be mixed into the mixer, and the outlet leads the mixture to the next station utilizing the mixture. Air is admitted internally of the outer tube (12) to feed the plurality of holes (38), and the force of the air can be controlled to control the transport of the mixed particles. <IMAGE></p> |
