ABSTRACT:
A scoop assembly capable of being lifted through a granular material to a headspace of an upright container from a location in the container below the headspace when the granular material is fluidized by shaking the container along a substantially vertical axis. A scoop assembly has a handle portion connected to a measuring portion. The measuring portion has a cavity which is covered by a removable cover which prevents granular material entering the cavity before the scoop assembly is lifted into the headspace. The scoop assembly has an outer shape which is streamlined to enhance lifting speed. A method of lifting a scoop assembly through a granular material to a headspace of an upright container from a location in the container below the headspace comprises the steps of placing a scoop assembly in the upright container from an open end of the container; filling granular material into the container from the open end and covering the scoop assembly with granular material, but leaving a headspace above the granular material within the container; and shaking the upright container along a substantially vertical axis to fluidize the granular material for a sufficient time in order to lift the scoop assembly into the container headspace.
