The powdered graphite applicator includes a container with a lid at the upper end and a screen at the lower end. A plate is provided inside the container to define the bottom of the graphite chamber. The plate has an enlarged opening which is normally closed by a gate. The gate can be periodically opened to allow graphite to pass through the plate opening, and then to fall from the plate through the screen and onto the surface of an adjacent roller of a rotatable drum. Movement of the gate is controlled by a cylinder with an extensible arm. Extension and retraction of the cylinder arm is automatically controlled by a solenoid and a programmed controller.
