Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a mixing tank, an upper part of an inner wall in a height direction has a higher surface roughness than a lower part thereof.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A mixing tank, wherein an upper part of an inner wall in a height direction has a higher surface roughness than a lower part thereof. 2 . The mixing tank of claim 1 , wherein a region in which the surface roughness is higher is located higher than 50% of a height of the inner wall. 3 . The mixing tank of claim 1 , wherein indentations and protrusions are provided on the inner wall in a region in which the surface roughness is higher. 4 . The mixing tank of claim 3 , wherein an inter-protrusion length of the indentations and protrusions is from 0.1 μm to 15 μm. 5 . A mixing device, comprising: the mixing tank of any one of claim 1 ; a stirring blade disposed at a tank interior of the mixing tank; and a drive device that drives the stirring blade. 6 . The mixing device of claim 5 , wherein an upper limit of introduced material is a height position at which a surface roughness becomes higher on the inner wall of the mixing tank.
