ABSTRACT:
A vibratory distributor 10 is described in preferred form having an elongated vibratory bed 16 for conveying bulk articles in a flowing stream past a plurality of metering gate stations 12 to selectively distribute the articles at the stations. A metering gate assembly 40 at each station includes a stationary upper metering plate 44 and a lower movable metering plate 46. Each of the plates 44, 46 have matching elongated metering apertures formed therein at evenly spaced center-to-center intervals across the width of the flowing stream. Each of the elongated apertures 62, 64 is oriented at a diagonal angle to the direction of flow with a segment of each aperture laterally overlapping an adjacent aperture. The apertures 62, 64 have parallelogram shapes. A screw gate drive 78 is connected to the lower metering plate 46 to move the plate 46 to adjust the relative alignment of the apertures to regulate the metering of the articles at each of the stations 12.
