Abstract

An apparatus for preparing a pumpable oil sand and water slurry comprises a rotatable vessel having a perforated tubular wall in which vessel the slurry is crushed and mixed and slurry comprising lumps smaller than a predetermined size falls through the perforated wall into e.g. a slurry pump box, whereas oversized lumps are transported via an open end of the tubular towards an oversize reject facility.
