Abstract:
1. An apparatus for mixing tank contents including sedimentary material, the apparatus comprising: an agitator; a pump; a substantially rigid tube configured to structurally support the agitator and the pump within the tank, the tube having a distal end opening and a channel defining a passageway therethrough; at least one mount, proximate the distal end opening of the tube, the at least one mount configured to support the agitator and the pump adjacent each other proximate the distal end opening and in a manner such that when the agitator mixes contents in the tank, the contents may be withdrawn through the distal end opening via the pump located adjacent the distal end opening; a frame configured for mounting adjacent an opening in a tank; and at least one actuator having a first end configured to engage the frame and a second end configured to engage the substantially rigid tube in order to selectively move at least a portion of the substantially rigid tube with respect to the frame.
