Abstract
An apparatus and a method for at least partially drying a first substantially granular material inclusive of a fluid, and mixing the first material with a second substantially granular material, includes a container, a conveyor disposed in the container, and an air supply for blowing air into the mixed first and second materials. The materials then become at least partially loosened, are dried by the air blown thereinto, are moved operatively at least partially upwards by the conveyor, and are then allowed to drop downwards within the container.
