Abstract
A method for the production of slurries which are uniform in density and consistency. In particular, a method for preparing zinc anode slurries employed in producing anodes for alkaline batteries. The method comprises a bag slurry forming process, using a drum mixer, involving mixing dry anode components within a sealed, inplated, gas-tight, liquid impervious, flexible, collapsible bag; and, then adding a wet component to the bag, collapsing said bag, and tumbling-kneading the components to form a blended slurry.
