ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for applying liquid to particulate materials using a single drive motor to operate both the upper particle dispersing disc and the lower liquid dispersing disc, the latter disc being driven at a much higher speed than the former. The two dispersing discs have coaxial drive, one hollow drive shaft within the other, but are driven at different rotational speeds optimum for the material being dispersed from the respective discs. The liquid is fed through the inner hollow drive shaft to its disc. The particulate feed rate is controllable with a presettable throttling or feed rate regulator sleeve. The sleeve has tooth features cooperative with abutment features of the underlying particle dispersing disc to neutralize lumps, chunks and pieces of paper and the like in the feed material. After the solid particles are coated with liquid, the particles are specially mixed using apparatus that also maintains the housing chamber clean so as not to accumulate product therein to contaminate subsequent materials, and driven by the same single drive motor. This apparatus is particularly advantageous for producing fat coated animal feed and the like.
