ABSTRACT:
A powder feed apparatus and method for increasing the rate of flow of powder fed through a powder feed system to a powder press. The apparatus includes a housing having a powder feed chamber, with a powder ingress opening and a powder egress opening, and at least one vibrator. The powder feed chamber is dimensioned to transmit a vibrational force from the vibrator to powder in it such that the velocity of the powder through the powder egress opening is increased over the velocity of the powder through the powder egress opening in the absence of the vibrational force (i.e. using only gravity feed).
