When a cylinder rotating around horizontal axis was put on the turntable rotating around vertical axis, and when a standstill device to trim the powder attached to the cylinder wall was added, wheat flour and aluminum powder could be stirred well. And starch and aluminum powder could be stirred well, if the axis of the cylinder was set apart from the horizontal axis of rotation with distance of several mm. But starch and powder of aluminum oxide could not be stirred well with such method. The device to trim the powder attached to the cylinder wall was turned freely and was stopped turning momentarily in every rotation, the powder was vibrated and stirred well. The effects were so strong, it was found unnecessary to rotate the cylinder around vertical axis.
