<p>An apparatus for dispensing fine particulate material comprises a hopper (23) for storing material (T) to be dispensed, a discharge tube (12) having a discharge nozzle (13) and feeding means comprising an auger (25) for transferring stored material (T) from the hopper (23) to the discharge tube (12). The fine particulate material is regulated by a metering means (35) which meters the amount transferred by the auger (25) to the discharge tube (12). Material (T) is transferred to a container (C) to be charged by positioning it against the discharge nozzle so that the auger (25) transfers a predetermined amount of material (T) from the hopper (23) to the discharge tube (12). Material laden displaced air (T') from the container (C) escapes into a settling tube (15) where the material in the displaced air (T') is allowed to settle and fall by gravity into the container (C).</p> |
