<p>An apparatus is provided for blending and emulsifying a dry product (D) with a viscous product (V), the latter being disposed to a predetermined level within a tank (21 The tank (21) is provided with a dry product inlet (22) disposed above the level of the viscous product (V). The apparatus includes a power actuated rotary agitator (24) immersed within the viscous product (V) and, when rotating at a predetermined speed, causes the viscous product (V) to form a vortex into which the dry product (D) is fed through the tank inlet (22). The agitator (24) is provided with first (27) and second (28) disc members arrranged in spaced, substantially parallel relation. One of the disc members (28) is provided with an enlarged central opening (35). The disc members (27, 28) are interconnected to one another by a plurality of symmetrically arranged baffles (30). The periphery of at least one of the disc members (27, 28) is provided with a plurality of symmetrically arranged shear blades (34).</p> |
