ABSTRACT:
A machine for adding moisture to particulate material for use in a bin which has an upper portion with an elongated supporting rail thereon includes an elongated substantially horizontal support member. A rail adapter element is on the outer end of the elongated member to engage the supporting rail on the bin. A swivel support element is secured to the other end of the elongated member and is adapted to be connected to the center of the bin structure for holding the other end of the elongated member at a level position with respect to the outer end. A motor is connected to the elongated member for rotating the same about a horizontal axis. A pair of support brackets are longitudinally movably mounted on the elongated member. Mixing augers are mounted on the brackets and extend downwardly therefrom. A second power element on the support brackets serve to rotate the mixing augers about a vertical axis. Fluid nozzles are mounted on the support brackets adjacent to the mixing augers and are connected to a source of fluid. A control element is connected to the motor and the second power element and to the fluid nozzles to cause rotation of the elongated member. The control element is also connected to the fluid nozzles to cause fluid to flow therethrough onto the particulate material in the bin while the mixing augers are moving through the particulate material.
