ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for depositing loose materials, such as insulation or fireproofing in worksite areas, may be used for depositing a single or premixed loose material. Alternatively, the apparatus may be used both for combining two constituent loose materials to form a composite loose material and for depositing the composite loose material in a worksite area. The apparatus includes a separate hopper or bin for each of the constituent loose materials. Each hopper is operatively connected to a single loose material combining channel for supplying their respective constituent loose material for forming the composite loose material immediately before it is deposited in the worksite area. A single motor is used for supplying both constituent loose materials to the combining channel. The ratio of constituent loose materials in the composite loose material may be changed by replacing an easily accessible gear used in driving an auger for extracting the constituent loose material from one of the hoppers. In replacing this gear with a different sized gear, and thereby changing the ratio of constituent loose materials in the composite loose material, the hopper having the auger may be rotated to disengage the gear from a drive train, the gear is then replaced, and the hopper is rotated in the opposite direction until the replacement gear engages the drive train.
