Appl. No.:

15/610255

Inventors:

- Research Triangle Park NC, US
John F. GEE - Raleigh NC, US
Jeffrey R. SUSALLA - Apex NC, US
Ryan K. BERGMAN - Olive Branch MS, US

International Classification:

B01F 7/00
B01F 7/22

Abstract:

A mixing device includes a base, shaft, impeller sleeve, and impeller blades. The base can be constructed for releasable attachment to an opening of a container, such as a 55-gallon drum. The shaft extends from the base and is coupled thereto such that rotation can be transmitted to the shaft by way of or through the base. The impeller sleeve is mounted on the shaft and supports the impeller blades. Each impeller blade includes an attachment leg and a stirring leg extending from the attachment leg. The impeller blades are supported so as to transition from a collapsed position with the stirring leg proximal to a central axis of the shaft to an extended position with the stirring leg distal from the central axis when the shaft is rotated. Each impeller blade can be formed of a plastic, such as a glass-filled polypropylene or glass-filled nylon.
