A sacrificial mixing assembly for a container and a method of operating the same. The mixing assembly includes an alignment assembly and a paddle assembly. The alignment assembly includes an alignment dish having a geometric shape substantially similar to a base of the container and an alignment shaft projecting from the dish surface. The paddle assembly includes an elongate section for engaging with the alignment shaft and a plurality of blades projecting from the elongate section for mixing contents contained within the container. The mixing assembly is containable within the container and rotatable about the alignment shaft. The alignment dish is dimensioned to interface with the base of the container to reduce annular motion about the alignment shaft during rotation of the paddle assembly about the alignment shaft.

A method in which a medium viscous to highly viscous fluid and/or a medium viscous to highly viscous suspension are/is mixed by means of an agitator device that is driven by a drive shaft, wherein

the fluid and/or the suspension are/is brought into a multi-dimensional flow by means of a close-clearance stirring blade (14) of the agitator device, and a flow resistance is minimized along a shaft direction in a shaft proximity.

A mixing arrangement for mixing two solutions, a mixer settler unit and a use. The mixing arrangement includes a mixing device arranged in the mixing space for rotating therein, the mixing device comprising at least two helical bars supported around a shaft and rising upwards from the bottom section of the mixing space. The helical bars are fixed to the shaft with support spokes. The ratio of the diameter (D) of the mixing device to the average diameter (T) of the mixing space, that is D/T, is 0.47 at most.
