<p>A combined rotator and rocker (100) for agitating contained materials includes a base (32) having opposite sides (34, 36), a drum (2) having at least one object supporting side surface, a pair of opposite end surfaces (2d, 2e), and a central axis passing through the end surfaces. The drum is rotatably coupled to the opposite side portions of the base. The drum is laterally movable along the central axis such that (i) in a first lateral position, the drum is continuously rotatable about the central axis; and (ii) in a second lateral position, the drum swings through an arc about the central axis. The drum is adapted to receive the contained materials in a plurality of different orientations to permit many different mixing motions.</p> |
