Solid pump for plastic grinding.

[amitchopra]

I want to continuously transfer plastic grinding of size approx 5 mm into the base of a water collumn about 10 feet height and dia 5 feet continuously.I would be grateful if someone could guide me as to how this be accomplished.

Other options:

- feed plastic to tank bottom with long auger
- feed plastic to tank top, and mix

Or have a small tank with a mixer, you submerge the plastic bits by mixing and pump from there.

Like MartinLe says, you're better off looking at either agricultural feed machines like this

or gravel loading and mixing systems. They make long ones for lifting grain into the top of silos so this sounds like that but in reverse.

Some sort of paddle mixer or agitator would seem to be a good idea
