ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for advancing particulate material, such as glass batch, to a receiver having an opening to receive the material, in which a distributing arm is mounted with respect to the opening to extend radially from an inner end to an outer end in a generally horizontal plane. The arm is rotatable about a vertically disposed axis adjacent its inner end and has a trough extending along its length to receive the particulate material. A roller mounted on the arm adjacent its outer end supports the arm and rides about the periphery of the opening during rotation of the arm about is inner end. This action of the roller also actuates conveyor means within the trough of the arm to advance the material along the arm from which it is discharged.
