ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the precise dispensing of particulate matter either at a uniform flow rate or in repetitious accurately measured discrete batches. The apparatus includes a housing having a hopper with a hopper outlet orientated over an endless conveyor belt. A metering tube is connected to the hopper outlet and is movable toward and away from the upper surface of the forward run of the conveyor belt. The distance of the lower end of the metering tube from the conveyor belt provides one measure of regulation of flow rate of the particulate matter from the hopper to the conveyor belt. The speed of the conveyor belt provides a second measure of regulation of the rate of flow from the hopper to the conveyor belt and eventually to a dispensing station.
