ABSTRACT:
A bulk material measuring and dispensing system includes a hopper assembly containing a bulk material coupled to a volumetric measuring and dispensing device, for measuring a predetermined volume of the bulk material and dispensing the predetermined volume of the bulk material. A dispensing mechanism is coupled to the volumetric measuring and dispensing device, for receiving and measuring a predetermined volume of bulk material in one position, and for dispensing the bulk material into a bulk material dispensing passageway another position. The volumetric measuring and dispensing device may include a rotatably mounted cylindrical member having a measuring chamber which receives and measure a predetermined volume of the bulk material and rotates to dispense the predetermined volume of bulk material. The measuring and dispensing system further includes a first air vent including at least one vent tube fluidly coupling the measuring chamber to a hopper assembly, for displacing air from the measuring chamber when bulk material is received in the measuring chamber. A second air vent including at least one vent tube extending from and fluidly coupling the dispensing passageway to the measuring chamber for displacing air in a bulk material receiver may also be included. The measuring chamber and air vents provide a bulk material measuring and dispensing system which is closed and prevents bulk material from escaping and contaminating the area around the system, while facilitating the flow of bulk material through the system.
