A mixing apparatus is disclosed that is particularly suitable for the gravity feed mixing of granular materials. The apparatus comprises a main conduit divided into sub-conduits having substantially constant cross-sectional areas. The sub-conduits mix and re-mix sub-streams of material flowing through the apparatus. The sub-conduits are described by planar surfaces, and the cross-sectional area of the main conduit is substantially constant throughout the length of the apparatus.

A mixing apparatus comprising a conduit of a predetermined length extending along a main flow path, wherein the cross-sectional area of said conduit is substantially constant at all positions along said main flow path, and wherein said mixing apparatus is composed of a plurality of units of predetermined length disposed adjacently and serially along said main flow path, each unit having an ingress end and an egress end, and each unit being composed of a plurality of sub-conduits, each sub-conduit of each unit having a major axis and a minor axis in cross-section at the ingress end thereof, means within each unit to alter each sub-conduit such that the major and minor axes in cross-section are reversed at the egress end of each unit, wherein the cross-sectional area of each sub-conduit of each unit is substantiaLly constant throughout the entire length of each unit, wherein each sub-conduit of each unit is described by planar surfaces, and wherein the major and minor axes in cross-section of each sub-conduit at the egress end thereof are reversed with respect to the major and minor axes in cross-section of each sub-conduit at the ingress end of the next adjacent unit along said main flow path, said mixing apparatus being suitable for use in the gravity feed mixing of granular materials.
