ABSTRACT:
A high-speed fluid blender for liquid fertilizer employs a slurry-type of pump for both mixing and recirculation. The pump has a plurality of parallel spaced-apart blades, each of which comprises a disc having a central circular opening formed therein. One of the discs, such as the top disc, is driven by a shaft powered by a motor. The remaining discs are carried by the driven disc for rotation in unison. The discs are substantially alined coaxially of one another, and the disc assembly is housed within an annular pump housing. The circumferential edges of the discs have a substantial radial clearance with respect to the annular wall of the pump housing. This radial clearance increases in the direction of rotation of the blade assembly towards the discharge opening in the pump housing. A funnel-shaped hollow neck housing is secured to the bottom wall of the pump housing, in communication with the inlet opening therein, and diverges outwardly therefrom. The overall apparatus has substantially less cost and less power requirements, yet has substantially more pumping capacity, than commercially available equipment for the same purpose.
