Abstract: A mixing assembly (10) includes a drum (11) including a side wall (13), a top portion (15), and a bottom portion (17), in which the top portion (15) includes a first opening (19) for filling a substance into the drum (11), a second opening (12) for mixing the substance in the drum (11), and a third opening (14) for extracting the substance from the drum (11); and a mixer (105) releasably disposed in the drum (11), including a head (109) releasably attached to the second opening (12) for mixing, in which the head (109) includes a housing including an internal hollow region extending along the central axis of the head (109), and external threads configured to be attached to the second opening (12) for mixing by thread engagement, a shaft (107) disposed in the hollow region, and an impeller assembly (114) disposed at a bottom end of the shaft (107) for stirring the substance in the drum. The mixing assembly (10) also includes a a sump (16) that is substantially vertically aligned with the third opening (14) for extracting, wherein the bottom portion (17) is sloped toward the sump (16) so that the substance will flow along the sloped bottom portion (17) into the sump (16), wherein the sump (16) comprises a base defining a lowest surface of the bottom portion (17) so that the sump (16) will receive the substance that flows from the sloped bottom portion (17).
