Process for mixing substances of different densities and apparatus for making use of this process

The apparatus for mixing substances of different densities comprises a receptacle (13) in which the treatment is carried out. In order to avoid separation of the substances, the receptacle (13) is mounted elastically and is subjected, according to the process, to a compound vibrational motion of high frequency and low amplitude. The apparatus comprises a motor (9) which has a vertical shaft (10) carrying eccentric masses (11 and 12). The motor (9) is integrally attached to a superstructure (5, 6, 7, 8) resting on vertical springs (4). When the eccentric masses (11 and 12) are in rotation, a vibrational motion of rotary nature is established, this motion being transmitted to the receptacle (13). ...
