ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for agitating, conveying and weighing particulate material. An agitator is provided including a generally cylindrical housing having end walls with bearings in them. An agitator is provided in the housing, including a pair of end members having openings therein; stub shafts are supported by shaft hangers and extend through the end wall bearings and the end members, for ready removal, axially, permitting removal of the agitator in a radial direction through an opening in the housing. A screw conveyor beneath the agitator has a housing removably connected to the agitator housing. A single direct current drive motor is provided, connected by sprockets and chains to the agitator shaft and to the shaft of the screw conveyor. The screw conveyor has a delivery conduit of short extent, connected to a transverse gate valve, below which is a weighing hopper, comprising a receiver and a scale, and the screw conveyor is provided with comminuting elements to insure uniform specific gravity of material passing from it to the receiver of the weighing hopper, to provide accuracy of the weighed amount of material.
