A pretreatment mixing and stirring device includes a cylindrical housing having a top plate, a bottom plate arranged to oppose to the top plate, a side plate arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate, and a mixing and stirring region where a calcined gypsum and an additive are mixed and stirred in an interior surrounded by the top plate, the bottom plate, and the side plate, a disk-shaped rotating plate arranged inside the housing, a rotating drive shaft, penetrating the top or bottom plate, and coupled to the rotating plate, a calcined gypsum supply port, arranged in the top plate, and supplying the calcined gypsum to the mixing and stirring region, and an additive supply port, arranged in at least one of the top and side plates, and supplying the additive to the mixing and stirring region.

An apparatus for mixing and agitating secondary battery electrode materials includes: a vessel configured to accommodate secondary battery electrode material; an agitator configured to rotate and elevate to agitate the material in the vessel; a rotation controller configured to control the rotation of the agitator; and an elevation controller configured to control the elevation of the agitator.

A blade assembly for a blending system is shown and described. The blade assembly may include apertures formed through a body. The body may include paddles extending from the body. The blade assembly may be rotated to force a fluid through the apertures. The fluid may be frothed by the apertures.

A tool for dry mixing and coating of powder mixtures includes a fixing shaft and an approximately disc-shaped element fixed thereto and of a diameter d, having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral surface connecting the upper and lower surfaces. The disc-shaped element has a plurality of grooves extending parallel to the shaft axis. Each groove has two groove walls extending from the peripheral surface to a groove bottom. A tooth is formed between two grooves. In order to provide a tool which is suitable for particularly low contamination dry mixing, dry dispersing and coating of powder mixtures, the disc-shaped element has a base portion and at least one wear element fixed to the base portion, wherein at least one portion of each groove wall, that adjoins the peripheral surface, is formed by the wear element.
