ABSTRACT:
A scatterer comprising a hopper for receiving particulate materials, a driven shaft extending downwardly and generally axially aligned with the outlet opening of the hopper, and a scattering plate disposed below the hopper to receive such material therefrom, the plate being connected to the shaft for rotation therewith. The plate is tilted on the shaft to have an upper end, a generally diametrically opposed lower discharge end, and opposite side flanges extending between the ends and generally equally spaced from the shaft. The improvement comprises an intermediate chute mounted on the shaft for rotation therewith between the hopper outlet opening and the scattering plate. This chute is tilted on the shaft opposite to the direction of tilting of the scattering plate to have a chute upper end generally above the discharge end of the plate and a diametrically opposed lower discharge end generally above the upper end of the plate. The intermediate chute is positioned to receive the material from the hopper outlet opening and to direct it downwardly on the upper end of the scattering plate. Thus, all the material being spread by the scattering plate is deposited on the upper end or upper end portion of the scattering plate.
