METHOD OF BLENDING MATERIAL AND PLANT THEREFOR

摘要

Equipment (2) and a method is provided for the controlled blending of particulate matter (animal, vegetable or mineral) producing an aggregate with a pre-determined particle size distribution. The equipment (2) includes a plurality of containers (3) each with control means (4, 5) for varying the rate of outflow of material onto a mixing means (6). With the particle size or size range for material for each container (3) pre-determined, and the rate of outflow preset, an aggregate as described is produced in a continuous or batch operation. Particle size range of the aggregate can be 0 to 5 millimetres (or less) or up to 65 millimetres or more.
