AUGER-DRIVEN POWDER DISPENSER

摘要

An apparatus for dispensing granulated powder, such as a fine sugar or sw eetener, which uses an auger driven by a gear motor. The gear motor is contr olled by a control unit on the front of the dispenser, allowing a user to se lect the quantity of powder to be dispensed. The apparatus comprises at leas t one, preferably two dispensing assemblies within the chassis, each compris ing a storage bin for the powder, an inclined base, an auger member abutting the base of the storage bin and a dispensing chute. The base of the storage bin is inclined positively toward to the orifice of the dispensing chute, t hereby ensuring that the powder is dispensed at a constant rate with minimiz ed dribbling.
