Abstract

See full text

A blender for blending viscous material and additive material by vortex action includes an upper section and a lower section. The upper section has a receiving portion, a viscous material inlet that is in fluid communication with the receiving portion, and an additive inlet that is in fluid communication with the receiving portion. The lower section is attached to and disposed below the upper section, said includes a blending portion that is in fluid communication with the receiving portion of the upper section. The blending portion is shaped so as to facilitate the blending of the additive material entering the receiving portion through the additive inlet with the viscous material entering the receiving portion through the viscous material inlet. The blender includes an outlet for blended material that is in fluid communication with the blending portion of the lower section. A method of blending additive materials with asphalt cement employs a blender having no moving parts that is adapted to blend asphalt cement and additive materials by vortex action.
