ABSTRACT:
A metering device for measuring bulk particulate material, such as feed, includes a hollow casing having a paddle gate positioned therein. Rotation of the paddle gate dispenses a predetermined weight of particulate material into the outlet port of the device. A monitoring mechanism monitors the back up of dispensed material in the outlet port stopping the flow of material into the metering device should the backed up material reach a predetermined level, thus avoiding jamming of the paddle gate.
