ABSTRACT:
The material slinger includes an upper section with feed hopper suitable for rotatably connecting to a vertically disposed feed chute or tube. Affixed below the feed hopper is a pivotal main body which can be repositioned to alter the angle of the dispensed material. The material is fed from the feed hopper to a funnel shaped hopper in the main body where it is directed onto the curved surface of a high speed rotating throwing belt. The belt, along with the positionable main body, allows the material to be thrown a significant distance and at a wide range of readily changed angles. Also included is an air vent located between the feed hopper and funnel hopper which allows free circulation of air into and or out of the material feed path. The air vent serves as a pressure relief and a vacuum preventing arrangement depending upon the circumstances of material flow.
