The length of the spoiler rods 73 is no more than one-third of the inner diameter of the mixing barrel 7. During the rotation of the mixing barrel 7, the material in the mixing barrel 7 can flow irregularly under the action of the spoiler rods 73, thereby improving the uniformity of material mixing.
