Abstract
The invention employs high volume air to form a cloud of coating material or material to be uniformly dispersed and conveys it to a plenum or common area of the receiving material which is coated. A mixer creates turbulence in the receiving material to turn up new receiving material to be coated. The invention has application to cement mixing, pigment and starch mixing, or even the mixing of atomized or vaporized fluid with on or more receiving materials to establish optimum surface connection for producing stronger cement or utilizing less materials for the same strength or optimizing the dispersion of the cloud introduced material with the receiving material.
