Abstract
The method for adding moisture to particulate material involves placing the particulate material in the lower portion of a bin; rotating vertically disposed spaced augers about a longitudinal axis, and moving said augers in concentric paths through the particulate material. Moisture is then sprayed on the upper surface of the particulate material adjacent the augers.
