ABSTRACT:
A roller dispenser includes a pair of counter-rotating cylindrical grid die rolls disposed adjacent a bottom opening in a hopper containing material to be dispensed. The grid die rolls have openings therein which assist in separating the material within the hopper prior to depositing the material on receiving articles or products passing therebeneath. Within the grid die rolls are shields or deflector plates which prevent the material entering the grid die rolls through openings in the upper surface of the grid die rolls from completely filling up the interior of the grid die rolls. Pin rolls within the grid die rolls push the material beneath the shields or deflector plates out through openings in the lower surface of the grid die rolls, making the grid die rolls self cleaning. An agitating bar assembly within the hopper keeps the head pressure or weight of the mass of the material within the hopper from forcing the material between the grid die rolls and allowing the grid die rolls to separate the material at a controlled rate.
