Apparatus for charging a pumping device

摘要

An apparatus used to charge a pumping device with a slurry mixture such as cement is provided. A hollow funnel-shaped receptacle is equipped with a rotating shaft. Extending from the shaft are angled blades which keep the slurry mixture thoroughly mixed while pushing it toward the pumping device. The action of the blades in concert with gravitational forces charge a receiving chamber of a pumping device.
